Remember those mid-90s “rock” bands that had a slight country feel to them (Sister Hazel, Counting Crowes, etc.)? Not necessarily the twang, but just the instrumental arrangements and writing style. “Love Don’t Live Here” follows that formula to the T. I can’t quite decide if this is a country song or a rock song, but it doesn’t really matter too much. The lead singer’s voice has a nice tone to it and the song remains a pleasant romp. Nothing fancy here–it’s cookie cutter music, for sure. But it’s well done and has some nice moments at the end.
