Here's a short Sterephile review of Newmans newest. One of the most fun purchases I'm made recently. Course for a couple months recently I was listening almost exclusively to Randy, so maybe I'm a bit biased there.

He's coming here in a few weeks for a solo show, should be awesome.

I listened to about half of it today, and it seems like a fun album.

Cool concert review in the NYTimes today -

He played the whole album (and a few others) in concert and recorded for All Concerts Considered over at NPR. Click 'Hear the Concert.'
