Title: Don't let the cover fool you...
Review: This is one quirky little CD that may show that Cooper is gaining the confidence to go beyond the ghoul-schtick and perhaps settle down to the art of making music. And more incredibly, this is one of the first times in a long time that Cooper's voice seems to reach beyond the music. No spit-shine here, just earth-y, deceptively simple backing tracks with the Coop trying on all kinds of vocal personas (yes, there are some glorious returns to the "clean" Alice-voice of yore). But things are not all on the up and up. Tracks like "Saga of Jesse Jane" and "Run Down The Devil" show Cooper still suffering from his insufferable sense of humor and still bearing the weight of his much publicized faith. Over all, though, a real gem. Oh, I get it. Dirty Diamonds!
