I'm happy he's writing (non-orchestrally/cinematically) again. And his voice sounds amazing, at his age. Since 1983, Rabin has been one of my all-time favorite artists.
Now, this particular song is not, I think, quite top-form for him. It's catchy, sure; but it's a mite repetitive. That's quibbling, and I know it's quibbling, but what the heck: If Michelangelo spent two decades doing Sistine Chapel-level work, went dark awhile, and then came out with a cute, gauzy painting of a cottage a la Thomas Kinkade, I'm sure his fans would say, "Hey, Mike, it's nice, but...."
And while I'm nit-picking, I'll be open about my other quibble: I'd be happier to hear new stuff from him that doesn't lean so much on slide for the lead parts. Of Rabin's various guitar style-flourishes, his slide-work has always been my least-favorite. It's not bad, but compared to the excellence of everything else he ever does, it's pretty meh.
Okay, I'm done with that. Everything else about this is top-notch.
The dude is a legend in all kinds of ways. Happy he's putting out new stuff. This tune is fine; but I'm hoping it's a starting-point. Can't Look Away was awesome, and so were 90125 and Big Generator and parts of Talk. I'm hoping he scales those heights again sometime.
