Dalla pagina di AllMusic dedicata a Tom Baxter, di recente popolarità radiofonica con il suo disco Skybound:
“There was a popular term slung around in British music-critic circles a few years back, “dad rock.” That is, anything that middle-aged men could point to in an attempt to prove that they were still as hip and with it as they had been when they were teens, and which they mostly liked because it was so baldly derivative of what they liked when they were teens. Wilco, for example, is probably the ultimate dad-rock act, with Coldplay not far behind.The time has come, however, for a complementary genre: “mum rock.” Mum rock is best heard with a glass of white wine after the kids have been put to bed, or perhaps in the midst of a luxurious warm bath. Annie Lennox‘s solo records are mum rock, for example, as are the oeuvres of Norah Jones and David Gray. And the second album by London-based singer/songwriter Tom Baxter, Skybound, may well be an early apotheosis of the style”
