Check Our Catalog“The mere idea of sharp tunesmith Ben Folds partnering with equally clever — and music-minded — novelist Nick Hornby (“High Fidelity’’) to record an album of songs with music by the former and lyrics by the latter is enough to send fans of both into paroxysms of pure pop joy. The execution does not disappoint. It’s a compliment to each of them to say that the lyrics feel like they could be Folds’s own and that the musician brings his A game when it comes to setting Hornby’s vivid character studies to song.” –The Boston Globe
