Jane told Mary that Jody is like what would happen if Maroon 5 went exploring with John Mayer and hit up Lenny Kravitz for lunch.
Editorial review
Although hampered by one of the most self-consciously dorky album covers in recent memory, Jody Whitesides' fifth solo album maintains the same level of amiable pop/rock competence as his earlier records. There are some neat pop/rock hooks here (the chorus of "Falling In" is particularly nice), but Whitesides is an anonymous vocalist and mediocre lyricist, and the sterile production lacks any sense of the analogue warmth that permeates even the most fussy and manicured '70s pop album. Despite the many flaws, Practical Insanity is such a genial record that it's impossible to actively hate it, yet it's equally impossible to work up much genuine enthusiasm for it. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
"I love that song [Falling In] Jody, that's commercial. That's a hit."
Frosty, Heidi & Frank 97.1 KLSX, Los Angeles - One of the many great quotes Jody got from Los Angeles's number one afternoon show.
Digital music giant iTunes made a bold move that set a precedent for thousands when they uploaded the catalogue of singer/songwriter Jody Whitesides, their first non-signed artist, through the digital distribution program at CD Baby. After refusing a major label deal when they wanted him to compromise his style, Whitesides spent four months writing, producing and recording his sixth and most commercially appealing recent release, Practical Insanity. Early fan-favorite tracks like "Tabloid Affair" and "Falling In" reflect an overall theme of the psychological process of human relationships in reality and in fantasy, the latter tune already being dubbed the coolest love song never to mention the word love.
