I'd have to agree, although my favorite solo album of his is the first, It's
A Wonderful Life. It's certainly not the most "pop," but to me it's the most
consistent, and I like its under-produced, and kind of raw sound. I had the
pleasure to see him on that tour, and he (and his band) were excellent.
Chris also produced my former band, Post Office's sophomore album, Fables in
Slang. He did a tremendous job and I'd recommend him to anyone as a producer
who knows his stuff sonically, and who is funny and relaxed as a person.
On the dB's: I understand the four original members are about to record, but
that the outcome may or may not be a dB's release; also that someone is
working on a documentary.
