Not bad for a deep track off of a great overall album. On its own, good to hear ocaisionally such as here at RP. Is this his best, not by a long shot, but in the context of an album, great.
He must be one of the most uneven musicians there is. He can be transcendent, or so banal you'd think his next recording would be "Musings from the Holiday Inn - Express!" I have heard "best concert I ever saw" and "worst concert I ever saw" both attributed to him.
Enjoyable, but... tired. I haven't heard much else of VM than what commercial radio plays, but the energy you hear on the commerical tracks just isn't here save for a brief burst after the bridge.
