Hmmm, I can't put my finger on either Trouble Train or Dead Man Incorporated....

King Of The Whole Damn World is really cool and different.

Oh boy, it sure is hard to pick just one, really. I've been waiting for one like this for a long time. Really spectacular work here. I gotta at least give a tie between Trouble Train, the title track (Lonely), and Love Partners in Crime. It's all cool, though.

It rocks, it swings, it bites you all over, but you like it.

This is the probably the best (and most concise) review of Songs From Lonely Avenue yet.

Well said Sharky!

Lonely Avenue
This song is magic. Like an old evergreen i know for years...
For the moment my AAA Song of the album.

But the whole album is awesome. Very, very good quality of music and musicians.
But also the sound is fantastic. Great recording quality.

I guess i will love this reocord.

I would have to agree with you Brett. Lonely Avenue is my favorite as well. I like your use of evergreen to describe it!

I just got a copy yesterday from Surfdog so I could *finally* hear it. And now I cannot stop listening to "Kiss Me Deadly." So I guess that's mine.

I counted Cristo's votes from Facebook, and added in my own vote for My Baby Don't Love Me Blues as my close second fave to "Dimes." Obviously there are a bunch of folks here that haven't weighed in, feel free! I'm curious to know how we all think, but it looks like Dead Man Inc and Kiss Me Deadly are the winners by a long shot!

Thanks for the stats Andi. Looks like a pretty even spread. Does that mean that it is a great CD all the way through?

I've listened to this cd about 10 times through now, and I honestly can't pick one as my favorite. I love how the album flows, and how each tune is different in it's own way. This album is enjoyed with the lights low, a good martini in hand, and a big fire in the fireplace. Just listen and let it carry you away.

Great job to all who contributed their talent to this album!

hrg

p.s. So, in my humble opinion, I agree with Sharky...it's a great cd all the way through.

I don't post much but wanted to add my vote:

Lonely Avenue (right now, subject to change of course)

I like the album very much, the best since Dirty Boogie for me. The three instrumentals are excellent although they don't really belong imho.
But it's the kind of album I've been waiting for Brian to do so I'm well happy with it.
