Green River Ordinance’s album “Out of My Hands” doesn’t break much new ground musically but is a solid pop-rock debut in its own right.

Lead singer Josh Jenkins has a voice reminiscent of Adam Duritz of the Counting Crows, especially on the piano-driven standout “On Your Own,” a song about moving on in life alone. The catchiest song on the CD is the farewell song “Goodbye L.A.,” a track about leaving behind a loved one at the end of the summer to find a new life elsewhere. The lyrics also sum up the band’s sound: “In time you’ll find / That everything’s different but it feels the same.”

Unfortunately, the band doesn’t have much originality going for it. The songs are nice and easy to listen to, especially in a kick-back group setting, but they aren’t anything that listeners haven’t heard before. The voice is strong, and the guitars strum away, but the CD almost sounds like leftovers from other mellow and unadventurous CDs.
