brand new stuff from van the man. as i have mentioned previously, he really doesn’t make mediocre records. everything he does is written and performed well, and this one is no exception. when listening to this i often envision myself in a tony night club nursing a manhattan, watching the master spin his tales in front of a crack back up lounge band. it has a real comfortable feel to it, and his voice has aged well. at 71, this is his 36th album, and he shows no sign of letting up. my favorite cut may be ‘in tiburon’, which is a reflection of his time residing in san francisco in the mid sixties. i had a difficult time finding a good reason to take this out of the car cd player. it got better with each listen.
