This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
If you really can tell a man by the company he keeps, then Magnet’s Mark Goodman is a hell of a guy – or at least a hell of a songwriter.
Case in point: The drummer on his last album was Moe Tucker from The Velvet Underground. This time out, the guest list is just as cool: David Lowery and members of his band Cracker, along with assorted members of Sparklehorse, Gutterball and Tucker again all show up to back up Bostonian Goodman on a dozen slices of intelligent, well-crafted eclecto-pop. And whether it’s a rootsy, Wilco-ish number or a spindly Pavement-type track, rest assured Goodman gets by with a little help from his friends.
