    A very understated record, the kind that will be treasured by diehards, pull in one or two casual bystanders and leave the world pretty much unchanged. [Apr 2003, p.106]

    The biggest problem with Baby I'm Bored is that getting to the good stuff requires slogging through the initial four tracks.
  5. Rolling Stone

    Thirty-eight minutes of co-writes and covers feels slight for seven years' work.

It takes about 3 listens to really absorb this cd and appreciate it. Deeply personal songs or so it would seem, i dig it. Plus the track "waking up" cowritten by that lucky ba#tard who married Liv Tyler is pretty good as well.… Full Review »
