I haven't had time to listen to it yet, but I'm anxious to hear it. His last few albums have been really different from on another, so I'm interested to hear what this one sounds like.

I'm a die hard fan of his father's work, and I have a couple of Rufus' albums. He's an incredible song writer. I can't wait until I can afford to indulge in his latest offering.

I finally bought it and have been listening to it. It's really very good. I'd put it up there with Release the Stars in terms of the sheer catchiness of a lot of the songs. "Out of the Game" and "Jericho" are two that jump out at me on first listen, as well as "Montauk," which he wrote for his daughter.
