been into tara jane's music since the 90s. she was the bassist for rodan, my favorite band of the 90s in the 90s.  she played in the sonora pine, also an incredible band.  and a band called retsin, who i was into as well way back when.  she starred in this really silly slacker film called half cocked, which, does not stand the test of time, i can tell you.  i tried to watch it recently and groaned my head off, so i had to shut it off.  anyway, she's made a whole bunch of solo records over the years.  i kinda stopped following her for a while, for the same reasons i burned out on bill callahan and will oldham and company.  i just felt like bummer singer songwriter stuff had sorta said all it was gonna say to me.  anyway, this record, i was surprised to discover, is pretty upbeat.  it's pretty good, too.  nice lazy afternoon easy listening music for your 2017.  dig it.
