Yeah, Eddie Vedder provides some backup vocals and Jake Clemons plays sax.

is that the kid from stranger things?

The nephew of Clarence Clemons. Also currently known as the sax player in the E Street Band. The cover of Drive All Night is from 2013.

At the outset I noted that this soundtrack got me to the cover, which I really liked. Related in that sense as well as it being another Glen Hansard/Eddie Vedder collaboration.

whole thing

it's the edna krabapple of solo albums.

Eddie's daughter is pretty talented, though. It's a fairly fun, chill, low stakes album.

Apparently Ed’s releasing a new song tonight?

well thats something

It’s just an acoustic remake of Take The Long Way after Ed did some fixin’ and added some “ow” syllables

heck

Earthling
Well that’s new

Ed’s new song made me go back to Flag Day, whose low key charms I appreciate more each time. One of the tricky things that made it take a little time to unlock is that it really feels like there are two separate albums that are smushed together, and I dont see how they align. Cat and Olivia’s songs are in a pretty different space than the one Glen and Ed’s occupied. A run of:

Flag Day
Tender Mercies
As You Did Before
Rather Be Home
Ill Be Waiting
Wave
Drive

works quite nicely together.

Likewise

My Father’s Daughter
I Think of Angels
I am a Map
There’s a Girl
Dream

feel of a piece

His new sound just sounds like Tom petty. I’m not imagining that am I

you are definitely not

Haven't really kept listening to this, but of the Ed-related stuff, My Father's Daughter and particularly the title track have stuck with me.

Flag Day is the latest entry in the ever growing list of songs with clunky first verses that turn into something special by the end
