Let Us Now Praise Famous Men

So as I've mentioned before, friend of PowerPop, occasional Floor Model, father of The Lemon Twigs, and indie-pop eminence grise Ronnie D'Addario has a gorgeous new solo album out.

And here's my favorite track -- a glorious one-man version of the Left Banke's always delightful "Walk Away Renee."

Ronnie's been releasing this sort of stuff, beginning in the pre-CD era, for as long as I've known him, which is going back to our late 70s days in the Village. But this current album is just spectacularly good.

Hey -- get yourself over to Amazon and stream the damn thing already, won't you? You'll thank me.

    That's gorgeous! Thanks for sharing and I will be picking up the album.

    Also wondering where Walk Away Renee ranks in terms of songs with large number of excellent covers - off the top of my head, this, Southside Johnny, Four Tops (of course) and I'm sure many others...

    Just now got around to listening to this. Absolutely stunning! If I could do that, it would all be worth it.
