a quck sound check in the afternoon, then around 7 in the evening,
he slipped over to the Highline Ballroom for a wild concert performance

to read all about it, listen to tracks and even buy it.
It was released in all
Starbucks stores, the first release under trheir new label, and
from all indications, it is a huge success.
One reviewer
in London said, "His most imaginative record in decades".
We hear he will
be playing a number of US dates, including Las Vegas, so we felt
this was an appropriate way to launch our Rock & Roll section.
 Even
though this surprise concert took place in New York City the world
press has already weighed in. The Evening Standard review
is now out in the UK...
"Back
In The USSR, Get Back, Lady Madonna were hard rocking, Let It Be
almost hymnal: and best of all, Hey Jude which ended the set and
restarted for the encore, was a spine-tingling burst of community
singing as the audience na na na'd like they had never na na na'd
before."

Hermits return to Vegas...
