Hit: 5 Stars
Palms & Runes, Tarot & Tea is a collection of never-heard-before alternate takes, brand new versions of old favorites, and best-of-the-best album cuts -- selections from all five of Michael Penn's albums, spanning the course of more than 15 years.
This CD is so much more than your typical "Best of..." with Penn himself hand-picking the tracks, as well as the order in which they appear on the CD.
It's worth buying solely for its revamped version of "Cupid's Got a Brand New Gun" with a completely different feel from the original (on Penn's debut album, March) featuring a bluesy piano, a freer vocal, and a driving chorus (horns and all!)
The CD also contains a beautiful new rendition of "Long Way Down" (Look What the Cat Drug In.) This song's lyrics expertly convey the melancholy resignation of staying in a relationship well past its expiration date ("...if I wear apathy's crown, don't call me Highness, it's a long way down") even though "I've got a feeling she's been sleeping with the whole wide world."
If Penn's delivery of that line doesn't touch your heart, you've never been in love (at least not with the wrong person!)
Michael Penn wraps his pessimistic (or realistic, take your pick) and insightful lyrics up in pretty hooks and harmonies, mixing the sweet and the sour, and taking the listener someplace unexpected but ultimately recognizable.
And Palms & Runes, Tarot & Tea is simply a darned good collection of well-written songs that any fan of pop/rock/singer-songwriters should appreciate.
