Different but great

"As indicated this album is not typical of Joseph Arthur. I do own JA's five prior full length CDs but none of his EPs or single recordings. After reading the first review I felt disappointed as I really enjoy the heck out of his music. He is one of my many favorite artists. So, I figured I buy tons of music without the slightest clue as to what to expect...So why not an album from an artist who has never disappointed. I bought the album and five others at the same time all from the same "alternative genre" and mixed them up and dropped them into my car CD player. I wanted to see if this album would stand out. I had listened to three tracks on this disc before I knew that I was listening to JA. I really liked what I was hearing without presuming an artist or a particular sound. If you do the same this album will stand alone as a great effort. PS The eighth track did bother me a bit on first listen ... less so on subsequent play. Tis' rock and roll folks. Open your mind and this JA CD will take you somewhere new."
