Title: Only thing I've been listening to for 2 months
Review: Until "Praise & Blame" I only had a passing appreciation for TJ's powerful voice and kind of a disdain for his former sexy image. Then I saw him on Letterman singing "Burning Hell". The opening guitar riff intrigued me, the still powerful voice impressed me, and when he belted out the first "No" and then "Yeah-hey" I was hooked. The performance totally blew me away! Got the album the next day and have been listening to it ever since.Don't look for any slick production here. It's the TJ Voice and everything else is there to support, enhance and flavor it. And what a voice it is! At 70, the Voice is a fine musical instrument: crafted and aged to perfection, well-tuned, effective in both the quiet and loud passages, and played by a master.There are a few albums that one simply must have if you appreciate music. This is one of them. Get it. Listen to it. You'll be glad you did.
