Hailing from Virginia, Artful Dodger was a tuneful working-man's bandthat had a brief run of success in the late '70s.

In classic power pop style,the group combined hard-driving electric guitars with catchy arrangements

and harmonies. But where the Raspberries emphasized balladry and romanticism,and Big Star had both that plus lyricism,

Artful Dodger put its stock instraight-ahead guitar energy and high-end vocalizing.Lead singer Bill Paliselli provided the latter,

with Gary Herrewig and Gary Coxsharing guitar duties. This energy carried over on stage as well as in the studio,and the band had a rather

fervent cult following among thosewho like their rock tough, yet melodic, especially in working-class cities likeCleveland and Pittsburgh.

Although Artful Dodger nevermanaged to push through to a mainstream audience,anyone with a taste for '70s power pop

should not be without at least one of their records.
