Far too long, but Wolf slow-brews these things \u2013 he has only released eight since 1984 after he split with the J. Geils Band. Based on the songs I\u2019ve been able to hear so far \u2013 \u201cWastin\u2019 Time\u201d and \u201cPeace of Mind\u201d \u2013  A Cure For Loneliness is a soulful, spirited affair, and I\u2019d expect no less from Wolf.  There is a bluegrass reworking of the J. Geils Band standard \u201cLove Stinks\u201d on here that I\u2019m especially looking forward to, and some lesser-known covers to go along with the nine originals. I was lucky enough to witness a conversation between Wolf and Robbie Fulks after a show a few years ago, and the man devours music, literature, and all manner of artistic treasures. The Woofa Goofa has much to teach. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fqqNDDp0hzs\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LtMtUO_5xvg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>2. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.markerelli.com\/\">Mark Erelli<\/a> <em>For A Song<\/em><br \/>\nBy coincidence, Erelli\u2019s For A Song is also his first album of new original material in six years. It\u2019s a strong batch. He  has a voice that wavers between Paul Simon and Death Cab for Cutie\u2019s Ben Gibbard, sometimes smoothly bouncing around a complex batch of lyrics, sometimes bending a syllable to fit the phrase. That serves him well on bubbling folk rockers like \u201cWayside\u201d and the title track, the waltzing \u201cMoonlit Lullaby,\u201d or mediations like \u201cOklahoma.\u201d There\u2019s a serenity built into the DNA of this album. It\u2019s in every song, and every player. <\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=731760625\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=2939368311\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"http:\/\/markerelli.bandcamp.com\/album\/for-a-song\">For A Song by Mark Erelli<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\namzn_assoc_enable_interest_ads = \"true\";\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"deparoftange-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"auto\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"1f2719d33a14592ed4abcf7457e3ad51\";\namzn_assoc_emphasize_categories = \"16261631,130,195209011,301668\";\namzn_assoc_fallback_mode = {\"type\":\"search\",\"value\":\"Peter Wolf\"};\namzn_assoc_default_category = \"All\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MUSIC 1.
