[PensaGhost]

Just Out

Will give it a listen, but I don't have high expectations.

This seems very quick, hot on the heels of Heartlands which I've barely had time to listen to properly. Will be interesting to see the results.

I really like the album cover.

I really like the album cover.

It's a painting by his wife, Leslie Stroz, who is an artist and teachs arts. The booklet is full of paintings by her, all of them very nice.

He's put a posting on FB whinging about how little artists get from streaming...and then put the album on streaming services, which he didn't have to do. I'll give it a listen via Qobuz, but there's no way I'd have bought it.

He didn't put it on streaming sites himself. He has a deal with cdbaby to distribute his records via their website and cdbaby put all his stuff on that streaming sites. If you release a cd with your own music and use cdbaby for distribution, it would happen the same to your record...

Little is still better than nothing I suppose.

HI,

I gave it a listen on Apple Music and to be honest I wouldn't have bought it.

I find the album a bit too melancholic, sad, boring, track after track I skipped the songs, it was like when you're looking for sunshine but with each song it rains, maybe I'm not in the right mood ? I think I've always had a problem with his voice.
for me 2/5

The songs are nice but they are all slow. His last three records are that way.
