impression: Because Her Beauty is Raw and Wild

From the ether: I got to hear a preview of his new album, Because Her Beauty Is Raw And Wild, a couple of days ago and I was immediately drawn in by the rawness of the whole thing. Richman uses the sparseness of the record to bring his singing to the front of the mix and has an intensely live feeling. I guess, in retrospect, it's really not too far off of what he was doing with the Modern Lovers back in the seventies. (via shoes are for work)
