There is a definite difference between the new solo album and TNP's
"Welcome Black". More so than say, "Welcome Black" and "The
Naked Dutch Painter".
Stew describes "Something Deeper..." as a 2 am record. The type of
album you can put on while someone is sleeping in the next room. It's
very mellow. The songs are basically Stew and Heidi on all instruments,
with a few contributions from Probyn Gregory here and there (on banjo
and guitar, but no horns this time around).
"Welcome Black" is more of a party album. Lots of horns, lots of
musicians. They're both great.
And if you don't have them, I'd reccommend both of Stew's "Sweetboot"
discs that are available through his site. I actually prefer both of these
to many of his commercial releases. There are songs on these discs
that do not appear on any of the other CDs, as well as alternate
versions of some of his best known songs.
Songs you can't get anywhere else include things like "I Just Cast A
Spell", "Begin Being Finished With Me", "Movie Of The Weak at Heart",
"Boomy Guitar Song", "My Damn Butterfly", "Miss Satan", "It's
Christmastime Again" (unless you have the seasons greetings 2 song
promo). And the first one features one of my all time favorite Stew
songs, the original version of "Bermuda Love Triangle" that later appears
on Welcome Black. This one is much more mellow, and people I know
have compared it to sounding like Jimmy Buffet.
EnJoy!

Thanks (yet again) Michael! Thanks for the tip; I think I'll "start"
with his recent solo disc. I agree Stew's a brilliant writer with
such a rich voice.
