Leonards twelfth album and two duds in a row for me. I think this comes in better than Dear Heather though. Five tunes that pass and five that don't. I'm still blaming the decline on Sharon Robinson who shows up again here. Leonard was always a sucker for the ladies. Sharon has been a big part of Leonards last 3 albums. This one is his highest charting album in the U.S. at #3, and topped the charts in 11 countries, including the homeland of course. Long overdue acknowledgement from music buyers, but that should have come years ago. Forty four years since that first album. That deep baritone voice has become a mere whisper now. And that's where this goes, as much of this is relegated to spoken words rather than any attempt at singing. Leonard is going out as he came in, a poet.
