…OK, maybe not his ending, but it’s a late career boost into overdrive: This 66-year-old has been making music since the ’80s, but you’re only going to find two of his releases on the streaming services right now, and only this new album (released 20 years after the previous one) has the polish to count as a world-conquering, professional release.

We discuss two songs from this new album Diner of Doubt: “My Dead Friend,” and “I Have a Lotta Dreams,” then look back to “Build Another One” from Might Could Have (2004) (The Intro, “Chinese Lights,” is also from that album). End song: “Oh Dee Oh Oh” (recorded 2023, making its debut release here).
