This album is uneven but has its moments. Knowing he is Madonna's brother in law explains a lot. In his other albums prior to this one, his tunes were more brooding and dirge-like & his voice sounds like someone else entirely.

Wow boring AND repetitive.

Sounds like he sampled Bob Marley and just played the same track over and over. Too much time in Garage Band.

Here is a little more funkiness. Not as funky as I would like, but funky nontheless.

I think it was recorded in Dubly.

I never realized there was a boring song on "Aliens ate my Buick." And to think that I've been listening to that album for almost two decades.

I've been listening to this since it started playing X minutes ago, and I swear I honestly thought it was Mick from Simply Red singing.

Yes, he did. "Murder of Crows" is his most country/rock album, and his first, I think. I think his best early album was "Shuffletown," an overlooked gem with lots of different tones and tempos, blending rock, country, and folk influences. The other album I like a lot is "Fuse," when he started to head towards his current sound.

Whatever it is, it is either not a style I like or else just irritating me at the moment.

Thanks for the introduction, Bill. Let's hear more. Listeners: If you like this, try any cut from Thomas Dolby's "Aliens ate my Buick" CD. I've got to go back and compare producers - vocal processing sounds identical to my ears.

he first few Joe Henry tracks that i heard on RP (Struck, Stop, etc) caused me to go out and buy this album... unfortunately, the majority of the album is kind of lackluster, boring, imho. just kind of meanders with no real direction or life to it. interesting, but i would have preferred to have just bought the few tracks that really stand out.


Yep.. I agree. Nice groove, but the rest of the song sounds like a demo.

Has potential, but thats about it.

Love that big, warm, funky sound of the bass in particular. A nice mix of jazzy and funky music with folk like singing. Dark, but uplifting at the same time.

I'd never heard of Joe Henry before RP. Gee what a surprise I like everything I've heard so far from him.
