Produced by longtime Norah Jones guitarist Adam Levy, the album is a paragon of restraint and tastefulness, showcasing not only Wood's broad musical palate and thoughtful, brooding lyrical prowess, but also his prodigious abilities as a stylist. His interpretations of the cover tunes included here demonstrate what is clearly a deep appreciation for these songs and their authors. However, Wood's casual, unpretentious refusal to generate either cleverly perverse arrangements or carbon copies of these tunes is truly refreshing. He seems able to make these songs his own almost effortlessly and without compromise.
