Title: Clone Alone
Review: As we all know, Leo's style just can't be pinned down--and with the help of Mike Gordon, he's found a friend with whom he can share his tilted sense of melody, rhythm, and lyrics. I admit I was dubious at first--but the more I played it, the better it became: it almost took on a life of its own. So why can't Leo's followers just accept that he's taken a different turn--or that maybe this is a comfortable way of sharing his talents? Look to his CD "Standing in My Shoes" for an idea of where he was going--this is comical, laughable, and most of all, as whacky as can be. Mike Gordon isn't trying to steal the show or turn this into a Phish-like disc; if anything, he's the perfect foil. Besides, Leo does a nice turn with his voice on "I am a Lonesome Fugitive," so kick back and enjoy these two characters at play.
