Obviously you have to give this old man some respect. Eighty Two years old, first album in 1957. This is the first one since 1998. Coaxed out of retirement by producer Joe Henry. Seven originals, five covers, recorded in five days. Not that familiar with his overall work. I've heard a few things over the years. Don't own anything, and unfortunately, this won't be the first. Wasn't expecting any great vocal skills at 82, but the drone scat singing wears thin pretty quick. I found 3 good tracks, but that's not enough. Some of the music is pleasant enough, and for me, would have been better without the vocals. Last track is a duet with daughter Amy.
