I love the press blurb.

I’ve always found “Desert Rose” very melismatic-they nailed it.

Melody Gardot lives 10 minutes from me and we have the same pain management doctor. Where’s my duet?

Is this a K-Tel release?

Sting has covered it all: orchestral album of remakes, seasonal album, lute music for tantric pleasures in the nude, covers of his own music and now duets.

Only thing left is the inevitable collaboration with Yanni and a Muzak album.

I think he jumped the shark with that lute album. Does Jimbo have that one?

Update: This is going to be coming out on November 27th. It will be a domestic release at a domestic price. Amazon's listing currently has a few errors in it, but they'll be corrected.

Sting's muse has been long gone. He just hasn't been very interesting to me for a long time now.

Can't believe this is the same guy that wrote Dead End Job.
