Jonathan Michael Richman (born May 16, 1951) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. In 1970, he founded the Modern Lovers, an influential proto-punk band. Since the mid-1970s, Richman has worked either solo or with low-key, acoustic and electric, backing. Currently, he plays only acoustic to protect his hearing. He is known for his wide-eyed, unaffected and childlike outlook, and music that, while rooted in rock and roll, is influenced by music from around the world.
Half of the album features Jonathan playing solo and the other half The Modern Lovers are supporting him as a backup band. It's a very pleasant album where Jonathan brings his melancholy mood to the quiet and reflective songs. He's a very talented and creative musician and that's exactly what he's bringing to the rock 'n roll rhythms and pop. The music will remind you of the late '50s, early '60s, but still it has stood the test of time very well. 180 gram audiophile vinyl.
