Goo Goo Dolls September 1, 2007

Raised on the garage rock of the Replacements and Buffalo Tom, the Goo Goo Dolls' career turned on a couple of acoustic ballads, including 'Iris,' 'Name' and 'Black Balloon,' that became monster hits. After hitting the scene with its single, 'Hanging by a Moment,' Lifehouse looks to be more than a one-hit wonder with the release of its second album, Stanley Climbfall, featuring the hit single 'Spin.' Malibu native Colbie Calliat's style is thoughful, engaging acoustic pop in tune with Jack Johnson, Joni Mitchell and Fleetwood Mac circa 'Rumours,' which coincindentally, her father, Ken Calliat, co-produced. "A great song," says Caillat, "should lift your heart, warm the soul and make you feel good." Taking her own sound advice, Calliat's debut album 'Coco' is simply crammed full of them.
