On Tuesday, Michael Penn released his 5th album, 'Mr. Hollywood Jr. 1947.' It's his first release in 5 years. Like his wife Aimee Mann's recent release, it's a conceptual album.
Although I'm a fan, I honestly have to say that upon my first listens, this is his best album since his debut 'March' back in 1989 (although they're all of high quality) Once you get past the fact that he'll never have another commercial hit again, you can appreciate the superb songwriting.
This album is streamed off his website if you want to listen. michaelpenn.com

The standout track, "Walter Reed" is also available as a free mp3 download on Amazon.
