I love this album. Seriously. I had read up a bit on John Vanderslice and threw this album in rotation at work. While this is the first of his albums that I’ve listened to, I can’t help but have a slight man-crush. The album is real and a bit dark, but never depressing. His vocals and the combination of guitar and piano make for an extremely satisfying listening experience. I found this video and immediately got pissed off that I wasn’t able to see the show in SF that he played with the Magik Magik Orchestra at the Great American Music Hall. I hope you enjoy.
