Not normally my style, but this one grew on me right away Nov 15, 2009
Marshall Crenshaw has a pop history I was not aware of (as I was not aware of him as an artist, period). But, after my wife bought this very listenable CD, I read his Bio and learned that he wrote "Somebody, Someday" in 1982. I-tunes lists his songs on this album as "folk". They are not. Its easy-listening, singer/songwriter, rock in the vein, sorry about this fans of either, in the vein of Ben Folds and of late, T Bone Burnette's recent releases. The title track is an enjoyable 2:15 acoustic number featuring Diego Voglino on drums; Crenshaw on bass, guitars, mellotron, keyboards, and shaker; Strings recorded and conducted by Rob Morseberger; Deborah Assael on cellos; Sarah Worden on violas. The opening track sounds so much like, both musically and vocally, a T-Bone Burnette song that I was quite surprised to see no collaroration with him. Interestingly enough, as well, the name of the album is T-bone like, but this is just me, I guess as there is no hint he even knows of T-bones work. This is not a criticism of me, Marshall or T-bone as T-bone is worthy of imitating. If you like Ben Folds and his pop sensibility, you'll dig this new album of Marshall's.
 Don't waste your money Oct 19, 2009
I own every other Crenshaw CD. This one is depressing and the songs are really odd. I was going to go see him when he was in town but decided not to assuming he was going to play this stuff.

Great Melodies! Aug 02, 2009
Maybe my favorite CD this year. The whole CD is solid, but I think "Sunday Blues", "Jaggedland", "Right on Time", "Passing Through", "Never Coming Down", and "Live and Learn" are my favorites. There's something about "Sunday Blues" - what a great melody - it's been in my head for days. I hope to see him in concert this year - would love to hear these songs live.
Unbelievably good album! Jul 27, 2009
Great album, most are outstanding songs! Only 1 we skip. Wake up and fall asleep with melodies in our heads. Saw him in Santa Barbara and he was amazing, playing a lot of old favorites plus a few from this new album. The Long Hard Road is our favorite, playing it over and over for 1.5 hours while we exercise. Some that we thought were just ok at first are among the best after a few times listening. Thanks, Marshall, for enriching our lives again.
