Album Notes & Community Reviews

Ending an extended eleven-year hiatus from non-soundtrack studio albums, 'Bad Love' finds the veteran songwriter returning with some of his sharpest, most cynical character studies to date. The biting, satirical lyricism is heavily juxtaposed against sweeping orchestral arrangements and his unmistakable, blues-tinged piano melodies.
