I posted here last year regarding Joe Henry and his wonderful album "Fuse". Looking forward to "Scar". Why is it that so many talented musicians go underappreciated while boy bands and teen queens are all the rage? There is no justice... I hold Joe in high esteem and group him with the likes of Mr. Baerwald, Roger Waters, Elvis Costello and Lyle Lovett (yes, Lyle Lovett). All great singer-songwriters. Their successes are only a small part of their larger bodies of work.

Back to Joe- can't recommend him enough. Give "Fuse" a listen. You won't be disappointed.

Mr. Baerwald- You mentioned that you met Joe in the past. If I recall, you were a spectator during a video shoot being filmed by a director friend of yours. Any chance of you working with Joe in an official capacity? Also- any future plans to collaborate with Susanna Hoffs again? The results of your first(?) encounter were great.
