Van's umpteenth album, released in 2005.
Not really a Blues or Jazz album, but there are some good Blues & Jazz tracks, so this is a best fit.
Sumptuously recorded set of songs with Van's usual musical attention to detail. He plays some solid Sax & Harmonica, and his vocals show no signs of deterioration.
Fine album, if not significantly different to many of his more recent efforts.
RoviMusic 4/5 stars.
