Everyone's favorite pop/rock/blues/absurdity star is resurfacing after some quiet time. He recently (October) underwent the same surgery that Adele Adkins had to fix his throat. He apparently had recorded most of his upcoming album before that, and is now putting on the finishing touches in preparation for a release later this year. This sample was posted to his Tumblr along with the message "I’m excited to share the first bit of sound from the album… Been looking forward to a post like this since October 14, 2010, the first day I started writing this group of songs. Enjoy."
I think this sounds like an appropriate follow-up to his 2009 release "Battle Studies," a little bit of pop, country, and blues all rolled together. The lyrics clearly suggest that he is trying to move beyond his younger and more vulnerable days, and get some credit for maturing both as a man and as a musician. I'll be excited to hear his new album and to see if that is recognition he deserves. What do you think?
His new album will be entitled "Born and Raised," and is scheduled for release sometime in 2012. Look for it.
