August 1996 issue, Ten Hottest Rockers feature
All it takes is one look at and a listen to Better Than Ezra's Kevin Griffin to know why women line up in droves to soak up the lead singer of this hard-rocking trio from the heartlands of Louisiana. While on-stage, his velvety, commanding voice strokes a song's lyrics like his hand would an outstretched cat. His keen musical and emotional intelligence understand the beauty of the simple, perfect hook. A trademark sensual stance -- leaning into the mic, his right leg bent and pointing at the ground -- evokes memories of the early, riveting Elvis. Kevin's Southern-gentleman manners are also irresistible. He opens doors for others, lights their cigarettes and exercises the courteous ways that all mothers wish upon their sons.
B.T.E. got its start at frat parties and the Baton Rouge club circuit before releasing their first album, 1990's Surprise. Deluxe followed five years later, producing the hit singles "Rosalia," [sic] "Good," and "In the Blood."
When last we checked, this 6'2" 26-year-old didn't have a heavy romantic steady. That's why we're advising a girl looking to catch Kevin's eye to wear Urban Decay -- i.e., uniquely colored -- nail polish because we've heard it really floats his boat. For her trouble, our Ezra expert also reports, she would be rewarded with hard proof that a tall man with big hands really does have a mighty missle.
Fly us to the moon!
