The songs on The Show Is on the Road aren't bad, but they aren't really good either. Most of them sound dashed off, spontaneous outpourings of words, music, and emotion that may be visceral to the artist, but sound unfinished to the casual listener. Paleface plays a solid acoustic guitar, and with drummer Monica Samalot laying down a funky groove, the duo makes music that moves, but it never really goes anywhere. The rest of the tunes pass with a shrug, not bad enough to make you push the eject button, but you won't be pushing replay, either. Many of them are based on late-'50s R&B and rock chord progressions, so there's a classical feel to the music.
