"The title song itself is sublime: lovely, lonesome, but content in the face of things; it's arguably worth getting the album for this track alone. Here, Kimble's voice is refreshingly strong behind just an acoustic, the warmth and strength of the message having no delay in reaching the listener. The ghost of George Harrison even makes an appearance for the lead-guitar solo (again played by Kimble himself) for a fitting end (it is of the same calibre as a latter-day Beatles number) to a remarkable song."

Quite possibly the most original and dynamic album I have ever heard. Please listen to "I don't feel that way". This album will make you dance and weep in the span of two songs. An emotional beatdown with laces of bliss and chaingun anger. See them live for the full effect. Genius.

I've been looking for this CD for awhile. Once again I found what I needed on Amazon! Paul Kimble is a multi-talented genius! This should have received more wide spread play and promotion. If you've not heard it I recommend you give it a listen and enjoy!

So glad I found this. I am a big fan of early Grant Lee Buffalo, and it's obvious in this effort what Kimble brought to the mix (literally). Not all are gems, but there are a few masterpieces on this. One of the best falsettos around, too.

I thought this might be a worthy purchase considering the people mentioned this guy's influenced by and has worked with. But it seems all he's gotten from these brushes with fame and near misses at celebrity are delusions of grandeur. The music is, at best, self-fulfilling only, and the lyrics are full of narcisitic bitterness I can't quite stomach. The title track is the most obvious reference to this, with some childish ripping on what I can only assume to be a lover who rejected him or revealed his ugliness in some way and then the hilarious line "Go f**k some other star". Does this guy think he's a star just because he's met a few? How sad :(
