Just saw him last weekend in Chicago. I like a lot of his songs...especially when he keeps it "simple"....when he gets too "busy' it sounds "nervous" to me, and I cannot stay involved. My son is a HUGE fan of Sondre's and kind of 'drug" me to the show....but, I am glad I went. If it is any indication, ever since I saw the show, I have been listening to Sondre's new disc...non-stop. Favorites: Domino Private Caller Red Flags ...and, especially: Go Right Ahead (absolutely love this song!)

I'm listening to it now for the 1st time and so far not bad, but certainly not The Royalties -- but what is other than Christine McVie in her prime. Too singer-songwritery for my blood, but I'm thinking of seeing him anyway in SF. $20 + drinks won't kill me. It would be a no-brainer if Julian Berntzen was in the traveling band, but not this time. Hopefully Julian is creating something for us to hear soon.
