Richman,Jonathan O Moon Queen Of Night On Earth CD

2010 release from the legendary singer/songwriter and former leader of the Modern Lovers. Featuring Jonathan's longtime collaborator Tommy Larkins on drums, the album reveals a shift in direction for Richman. As the title suggests, this outing finds Richman looking up to the lonely night sky during the wee small hours - when time slows down and everything is as melancholy as it is beautiful. The album artwork acts in kind, with Richman's own paintings suggesting a veil of muted moonlight. Through his songs, Richman invites the listener down this dim and starry path. With O Moon, Queen of Night on Earth, Jonathan Richman again shows himself to be an evolving artist whose ears are wide open to the language of the world.
