I was interested in seeing where he would go with this being his first time as self producer and having it released on his own label instead of Lost Highway. It feels more like a handcrafted album. A couple of the songs (Guess Who's Knocking, Heart Of Rhythm) dissappointed me lyrically, but had that great punk vibe you get at his live shows. Keep It Together and Too Deep To Fill were both good listens.
Sorry for the lengthy post. I was watching this guy when he started out playing to bars with 10 patrons.

Nah, man, I appreciate the perspective! He kind of lost me after Mescalito, but I'm always interested in hearing what he does and there are plenty of great moments on each album. A few cringe worthy lyrics here and there. That's not new, though. Sounding handcrafted is a good way of describing this. It sounds like a guy left to his own devices and I like the variety it allows for.

Well, there are definitely things on this one Marc Ford would not have let get by. I think maybe the use of the strings on the first track may have been over doing it an probably influenced by his work with T Bone Burnett. I do think he has stepped up the guitar work, handling most of those duties now where before Marc Ford would put his touch on some tracks with a solo.
