IT ALWAYS worries me when great songwriters move away from what they are good at. Old Burt's come up with some classics in his time but in teaming up with the likes of Dr Dre and Rufus Wainwright for a politically correct 'trendy' album it verges on the embarrassing. Even putting Elvis Costello on vocals for one track fails to salvage this from being anything other than a quirky experiment which doesn't work.
Released October 24, 2005.
