    This is such a Jim James-y album. Many songs have the vibe of a Pennywise-like serial killer in a David Lynch film (and I mean that in the most positive way), while others are simply pleasant, like his "Lucky Man" cover. I'm a big fan of the Jim James quirk, so if you are one of those people, I feel confident that you will enjoy this.

    If Eternally Even was James’ aggrieved effort to engage directly with a world in unrest, Tribute To 2 is an attempt to offer succor. It’s a little glimpse of the past James hopes will soothe and reassure us.

    These classic songs feel like live broadcasts from distant memory, clouds in heaven, or an empty theater after everyone's gone home.
