I was super excited for Inara George's follow-up to All Rise. Then I heard it. Not my thing at all.
Sweeping, melodramatic strings. Sounds like showtunes. I was hugely let down.
And then I read the sweet tale of why it came together -- Lowell George (Inara's Papa) being close friends with Van Dyke Parks and this collaboration being almost inevitable.
And, also hearing that VDP is touring with Inara -- after not touring for years and years -- is also likely a huge plus for any fans.
So yay for you, waaah for me.

Van Dyke Parks is cool. Ever hear of his work with Brian Wilson?
and I've loved Inara's music from back in the days when she was with Merrick.
Cheer up. It's all good
