A Strong Crop in Fall's First Harvest

* * * Bill Janovitz, "Up Here," SpinArt. Fans who have pogoed with the Buffalo Tom frontman and his jouncy guitars will appreciate his folky side. Janovitz's second solo effort features poignant looks at suburban inquietude, personal loss, matrimony and fatherhood told over strummed and steel guitars and measured keyboards. His perfectly imperfect voice, paired on three songs with Fuzzy's Chris Toppin, wears like a loose-fitting, frayed sweater. Darn comfortable.
