"Fun, whimsical, and beautifully produced"
Howie Newman: WHEN YOU'RE HAPPY (I'm Happy, Too) 2016 Major League Records
Howie Newman is "not quite sure how to describe this collection of songs." Americana? Roots, folk, folk-rock, singer-songwriter? Who knows? Who cares?
It's just fun, whimsical, and beautifully produced check out the work by a team of wonderful featured musicians, especially Jackie Damsky on fiddle).
It is true, Howie has updated some of his earlier creations, but "My Baby Can't Parallel Park, " "Our Kids Aren't Kids Anymore" and "My Last Cup of Coffee" are all worth hearing again.
But there are a number of new songs as well, including the sweet title track, a live recording of "Where is Everybody?" and Howie's most recent baseball song: "The Ballad of Mike Hessman (Minor League Home Run King)." Everything on this CD is enjoyable indeed.

This is the one CD I keep locked and loaded in my car! Whenever I'm in need of the lifting of my spirits, I just press play and Howie is there to provide the cheer.
