After the bitterness of E's previous work - not surprising in view of what he had been through - this record comes as a surprise. The tone is immediately set by the delightful, whimsical cover design. At the risk of showing my age, yes Mark, I remember Altered Images and Jonathan Richman as well! There's an echo of both of them in the slightly childlike (not childish) aura throughout most of the tracks. The lead-off single "Mr E's Beautiful Blues" gives you a good idea of the treats in store. "I Like Birds" and "Jeanie's Diary" are the best examples, and things are kept suitably simple with mainly an acoustic guitar and brass band for backing. Some of the songs are less cheerful, particularly the sombre "Grace Kelly Blues". But overall this album is fun, and quite a breath of fresh air in the murkier waters of today's indie pop. We could all do with a little cheering up occasionally.
