It's been out a few days now, what does everyone think? An early standout track for me is Diamonds.

I like every song to some degree, which surprised me. His voice isn't what it was (he's 70) but as a writer he can still bring it.

The title track, Grand Illusion, Amy In Colour and Diamonds are my favourites so far.

Sure, vocally he set the bar really high at his peak. But he still sounds really good. You dont' expect 70 year olds to be able to do some of the things he did on this album. I didn't really know what to expect since it's his first real work since 2001. There was the barbra streisand album in 2005, but that was more her vocals than his.
