Includes 3 bonus points (it's my prerogative) due to the overall brilliance of the album.
For those who've known me over the years, you know I have only a couple rules about music, and one of them is: If Danger Mouse is involved, buy it! He's a writer, multi-instrumentalist, producer and performer. Like some of my other favorites, he's always out to try something new and different.Rome is a tribute the Spaghetti Westerns of the 1960's (Fist Full of Dollars, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, etc) and it succeeds brilliantly. Of the 15 songs, there are 3 "interludes of a minute or less and of the remaining 12 songs, Nora Jones and Jack White provide the vocals on three each.
My favorite song on the album is Two Against One featuring Jack White. But don't miss Nora Jones on Season's Trees and it's worth listening to the instrumental The Gambling Priest.
