A Little Too Late

Every album that I work with producer Lincoln Schleifer on has what we call the art project, the song that turns out completely different from our original expectations. This arrangement takes some inspiration from a couple tracks on Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life, one of the finest albums ever recorded. It also highlights some stunning lead guitar by Jon Herington (of Steely Dan), who appears on all but one track on this album and in this case channels the best of Richard Thompson on the guitar solo. This one is me having a bit of fun with wordplay. It’s a song about a fictional relationship that seems to keep coming back around to the same place. It’s also the album title, hopefully offering up a slice of humor about my songwriting and musical career.
