He keeps on keepin' on, and good for him (and us).
Ex-genius songwriter extraordinaire for the late lamented Soul Coughing, he continues to plow the same basic field he cleared with that band.
This is a fun, up-beat collection of mildly funky songs-ah, from Mike, who continues to stretch out-ah, his syl-a-bles-ah, like a modern-day beat-nik.
No, his backing band here is not as good as Soul Coughing (but that's an absurdly tall order, isn't it?), but they are in his corner and do what they can.
This is probaly the most pop-oriented, song-oriented thing he's ever released. But he's going more into singer/songwriter territory than ever before.
For the un-initiated, go back and get your hands on Irresistable Bliss from Soul Coughing. It's a mind-blowing LP, the first and following albums almost as good.
But for the long-term-o-phile like me, Golden Delicious is a winner. Mike's warm, golden voice is stronger than ever. The songs are short, sharp, and clear.
