JDSep 13, 2007Weak effort. The songs are flat and often insipid. Does anyone consider the phrase "Happiness is having wings" inspired writing? Please. Major disappointment from a man and band who had been on fire with their last two releases.

Jun 27, 2011Boring album where all the songs sound exactly the same and none of them are inspired or go anywhere at all.
Barely passable for background music.
the production using old equipment is fine but doesn't really put any meat on the songs.

Whether or not you prefer the rowdier version of Harper and his band, it is inarguable that this recording is a concentrated effort coming down on the side of a couple of musical notions that weave together artfully and meaningfully.

It's a beautifully composed disc that Harper fans should love -- and it should also convince boomers, especially, that there's still great new music out there.

It's not that less is more--only that, in that moment, less is perfect.
