�Where did he come from, what�s his history? I don�t know but I can tell you
it�s an album worth having. The unassuming fellow staring back from the understated cover exhibits nostalgia for the loungy British music hall swing
of certain `80s new wavers: Imagine the Smiths without the jangle or the pretense. Like fellow beantowner Jonathan Richman, Lennon has a sensitive charm expressed in his lonely observations and longings. Blessed with irrepressible hum-ability and wonderful simplicity (11 of the 14 tracks clock in under three minutes), these easy listening tunes insulate themselves quicker than a small con on an out-of-town mark. It�s hard to heap enough praise on
this album. Pick it up and listen to �Definition of Love�, �Best Friends Forever�,
or �Talking to Girls� and I bet you�ll love it.�
