Rinde Eckert usually appears as the creator/performer of fantastic music-theater pieces (I doubt anyone who saw his And God Created the Great Whales has forgotten a second of it).  But here he appears solely as a singer-musician, playing songs from his new album, invoking musics that have meant a lot to him from various traditions around the world.  I don't think Eckert is capable of doing anything uninteresting (or, for that matter, unlistenable).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  The Mid-Atlantic-style eatery Delaware and Hudson is just as wonderful as Rinde Eckert is (and there are very few restaurants I'd say that about).  À la carte and (amazingly good) bar snacks in the Tavern Room; extremely reasonable and worth-it prix fixe in the dining room.
