notes of blue streaming today....
Second time through. Normally there might be a couple songs that immediately catch my ear, but I've already jotted down five (!), and I was trying to not get carried away: Back Against the Wall; Cherokee St.; The Storm; Midnight (what a powerful vocal performance. Simply superb); and Threads and Steel ("There's a man going around...taking names "). But the entire album is a home run. Well done.

Farrar is in great voice. Haven't heard so many songs by Jay that feature women, whiskey and wine in a while! A very nice flow to the album, with everything short and to the point
The usual nitpick with the NPR overview: yep, gotta start things off by making a(n invalid) comparison. It would have been much more interesting to the reader if New Multitudes and other recent work was highlighted. A waste of the first paragraph.
