Billboard review:

Almost Honest
JOSH KELLEY
Producer(s): not listed
Genre: POP
Label: Hollywood (CD promo)

Singer/songwriter Josh Kelley has one thing that so many of today's troubadours do not: a truly compelling voice to accompany his heartfelt lyrics and acoustic strummings. "Almost Honest" draws the listener to a defeatist message of knowing how good he has had it, despite giving into temptation: "In the evening/Raise a glass and tell some lies/Make a pass/Impress another girl/She's so easy on the eyes." Now this is an adult top 40 release that we can pin some real hopes upon. Kelley, with "Almost Honest," is now speaking truth. At last, a player that stands apart from the increasingly generic pack. —Chuck Taylor

I was just coming to make a post about this. I was excited the other day to see a myspace bulletin for Josh annoucing that they'd be pushing "Almost Honest" in 2005. I hope it does great. "Almost Honest" and "Only You" are my favorites.

Does not have an hot AC date yet, but goes for pop adds january 17th.

Still just moving along slowly +23. It's getting kicked around by other songs and I'm getting annoyed.

It's got one new station though with 13 new spins.

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

I just heard this for the first time on PLJ. I ike it okay. It's not at all annoying unlike all his other singles up to now.

[JJ Redick]

Kinda sucks that it's +3 then.

[JJ Redick]

Bulletless.

[JJ Redick]

Back at +12

[JJ Redick]

A little bit better of a bullet now, +27.

[JJ Redick]

Just checked the HAC Building chart....NUMBER 30!!!!!!

Does anyone know where "Everybody Wants You" peaked?

[That Skipping Rope.]

I heard this for the first time today.

I really love this! Plus, he mentions The KY, so I gotta love it.
