Album Notes & Community Reviews

The eleventh studio album from the legendary American songwriter provides his first collection of new material in almost a decade. The tracking surrounds his iconic piano playing with lavish, cinematic orchestral arrangements tailored to his sharp, theatrical storytelling. The lyricism offers biting, satirical commentary on political polarization, science, and the aging process within the American cultural landscape.
