Georgeously good-timey. Kinda back-porch Randy Newman with an array of licks and fills that constantly surprise and delight. Arguably the best singer-songwriter release of the month and one that features a Tom 'T-Bone' Wolk production plus added help from Levon Helm, Dave Mattacks, Kenny Aronoff, and members of Mary Chapin Carpenter's Band.
