So I just picked up the new Blue Nile CD

Right on schedule, 4th album in 20 years, how does Paul keep up this brutal pace?

I'm on the 3rd song in my first listen, the second track, I Would Never, is very reminiscent of Downtown Lights.

Overall, of course, it's a Blue Nile record. It isn't going to be a radical departure from what you hopefully know and love.

Thanks for the excellent heads up. Since I haven't bought anything since Hats, I'll have to give it a try and throw it into my "AdultJazzyFolkyPop" folder along with such oldies like Matt Bianco and recent goodies like Badly Drawn Boy. Do you place it in

Thanks for the tip. I didn't like "Peace At Last" but will certainly give this a try.

Well, anything since Hats is only one album, so there isn't much to catch up on!

They are one of those artists that don't really fit in with a lot of other stuff I have. I rarely put the Blue Nile in mixes, for example, they just don't seem to fit mos

I think "High" is certainly better than "Peace At Last", although that album does have it's moments.

This new album seems to be closer to "Hats" than "Peace...." so old fans should really dig it.
