Not bad! Enjoyed this a lot more than the album he did with Johnny Depp at the very least.

Yeah, this was completely fine, nothing wrong with it at all, even if it didn’t fully grab me in the way I’d hoped. It took me a little while to properly sit with it and give it the attention, which maybe says something about how it lands. A lot of it blends together into that classic, super bluesy sound, which is enjoyable but can feel a bit samey across the whole thing.
