The first great CD of 2007 is here, and it's a tremendous album. Hearkening the style of 1970s pop powerhouses 10cc, Supertramp and Andrew Gold, British band The Feeling hopes to break through stateside with their effort "Twelve Stops & Home."

I've gone through the first seven songs, and they are all brilliant. The band is tight. The sound is fresh, pure unadulterated power pop.

So far, the album of 2007. Here's a video for what I think is the best track on the CD. The tune is called "Never Be Lonely."
