You don’t know how happy I am to see the name Matthew Sweet pop up. Sometimes it feels like the world forgot him after his initial success with the Girlfriend album. I haven’t loved his latest stuff, but he continues to make fun music.

I think “Time Will Show the Wiser” was originally recorded by the Merry-Go-Round (sung by Emitt Rhodes who I’m pretty sure wrote it). Knowing Hoffs admiration for Rhodes (the Bangles did a great cover of “Live” on their album “All Over the Place”) I’ll bet that’s the version she heard first, too.

The album was produced by Peter Asher, and the band includes most of the Immediate Family (Leland Sklar, Russell Kunkel, Danny Kortchmar and Waddy Wachtel) plus Albert Lee.
