AMG Review of Plays and Sings/Nobody's Favorite

Tim Sendra
All Music Guide

The 2003 release on Powerless Pop by Chicago alternative country/folk-pop singer/songwriter Chris Mills, Plays and Sings/Nobody's Favorite combines two of his earliest releases. Plays and Sings was Mills' debut, a 7" single released in 1995 by Sugar Free containing two songs: "Nowhere Town" and "Steel Walls and Iron Bars." Nobody's Favorite was also released in 1995 by Sugar Free. It is a seven-track EP that features another version of "Nowhere Town" and the despairing "Keep the Corpse Beautiful." Powerless Pop has done a big favor to Chris Mills fans by making both of these impossible-to-find releases available again.
