'Hotwire The Ferriswheel' is a duet with Tracy Thorn, and 'How We Met, the Long Version' is Postcard #29

it's nice to see him working with samples again

the new album is pretty disappointing overall, it's more energetic than I Know What Love Isn't, but the music & lyrics are both quite meandering. the songs on I Know What Love Isn't were generally stronger despite the very bland arrangements

the first three tracks are the best but probably could have been Kortedala b-sides

I love this album.

Now the sun is out this album makes more sense than in cold, dank February.

One of my favorites of the year.

Yeah, this is a wonderful album. I do prefer his previous two, but there's so much to love here. Looking forward to playing it more now the sun is out as Dan says.

how can i tell him is so devastatingly pretty

i found this album a bit disappointing but i am really looking forward to seeing him in march, the venue has a capacity of 50 so it should be very intimate

I loved it enough for it to place

the first three tracks are great but then the rest was just ok, which is only disappointing by his very high standards

“Evening Prayer” is a beautiful song, conceptually and musically.

Best album of 2017.

My list of a dozen good 'uns..

Good #1 pick, that's an all time great song for me.

great strings

Great choices. Your Arms Around Me is the only real omission. Easily my favourite Jens moment.

Great list. The only ones that I would rate higher than most of these are Sweet Summer's Night on Hammer Hill, which nicks the Martha Reeves Heatwave progression to great effect, and the recent How Can I Tell Him, a gorgeous ballad I listed at #5 in my 2017 singles list

Anyone been keeping up with the CORRESPONDENCE tracks he's been quietly releasing? Forever Young, Forever Beautiful is really nice.

Also, I saw him earlier in the year and he covered Do You Believe In Magic? to open his set, and it was wonderful.

I’d missed the Correspondence tracks so will go and seek them out, thanks!

Really loving "Revenge of the Nerds" from CORRESPONDENCE.
