    These aren't songs simply notable for their attitude or irreverence--they're a fine collection of songs, period.

    Sonically, it's on par with the rest of his discography: meaty instrumentation, multi-layered vocals, winks and smirks.

    Whereas Too Young to Be in Love was the excited doodles of a crush's name in a notebook, Hairdresser Blues is the discarding of the love letters that came after.

    Hairdresser Blues offers a more intimate window in to a more down-to-earth personal world, allowing room for that enormous persona to be folded back into the greater sum of Bogart's infectious songwriting personality.

    Bogart takes his listener on a jangled journey that doesn't always make sense.

    Though Blues is a quick listen, clocking in at a scant 26 minutes, it twists and turns (and builds up and breaks down) so much that it feels much longer and somehow more complete than past efforts.
