Four years passed since John Wesley Harding's previous long-player, and it seems he spent the time "growing up" a bit, shaking once and for all the image of Elvis Costello's smart-ass kid brother. John Wesley Harding's New Deal (the title presumably referring to his parting of ways with Sire and his new signing to Forward Records) finds a gentler Harding doing some soul-searching on his most introspective outing to date.

Thankfully, the new John Wesley Harding's songs are still as clever as ever and, in a different way, just as catchy and memorable. ~ Chris Woodstra, Rovi
