Richmanm, Jonathan - Having A Party

NEW VINYL LP ON UNIVERSAL 2021

180 GRAM VINYL.
A hodgepodge of studio and live recordings, this Party is a rather quiet affair with just Jonathan and his guitar. Without a band to support him, Richman grows more pensive than usual; while interpersonal dynamics remain his primary focus, his thoughts turn to relatively serious examinations of adultery ("My Career as a Homewrecker") and commitment ("Just for Fun"). Similarly, the minutia of romance is the concern of "The Girl Stands Up to Me Now," "When I Say Wife" (a fretful essay on nomenclature and possessiveness), and "She Doesn't Laugh at My Jokes."
