Todd Park Mohr and his band have always occupied this -ish territory in American pop. His songs tend to be more blues-ish than straight-up blues. The band's performances have been more jam-ish than what you hear from a pure jam band. I realize that I'm kicking around a lot of non-words here, but this is the space in which Big Head Todd and the Monsters resides. And it's not a criticism...

Todd Park Mohr, he of the big head in Big Head Todd and the Monsters, has spent the better part of the last decade living in Chicago. It's an appropriate adopted hometown for the guitar player, entering his 25th year of fronting his blues-infested band, whose latest release Black Beehive is straight out of the windy city's Butcher Boy Studios...

Shoplifting the title of Pat Benatar's 1980 platinum ass-kicker is the only vaguely illicit aspect of Big Head Todd's passionless seventh album. Purveyors of non-threatening frat-rock since 1986, songwriter-guitarist Todd Park Mohr and his rhythm section parlayed their success on the granola circuit into the 1993 hit Sister Sweetly...

Yet another grassroots ensemble profiting from moldy '90s album-rock radio tastes, Big Head Todd & The Monsters manages a brisk bluegrass bounce in "Greyhound." Everywhere else, though, Strategem's sodden guitars and lazy drawls seem content to sit back and pretend that a stodgy lack of humor is the same thing as blues integrity.

Big Head Todd and the monsters occupy an odd berth among their H.O.R.D.E.-tour peers: The foursome has built up a substantial audience through endless touring and intense live shows, yet it doesn't have the soaring, baritone melodies of Hootie and the Blowfish, the quirky rhythms of the Dave Matthews Band or the transcendent, jazz-informed jams of Phish...

With guitars remaining firmly in the forefront, Colorado's Big Head Todd And The Monsters ease into their album Sister Sweetly with a laid-back gait. The best of this loping stuff - like "It's Alright" - makes for catchy, radio-ready fare, as does the more rollicking "Bittersweet." Todd Park Mohr's vocals drawl smoky and inviting...
