Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in a remarkably swift five days, 'The Vegetarians of Love' relies heavily on accordion, fiddle, and acoustic guitar to craft an earthy, pub-rock atmosphere. The loose, conversational folk-rock arrangements perfectly frame the former Boomtown Rats frontman's cynically witty songwriting.
