Stephen Steinbrink phones it in from Mesa, AZ, with a buncha new songs and a telling cover. Last time it was the Replacements, this time Arthur Russell. Is there anything this kid can't do? Stephen not only makes the song his own, but all his songs share a secret language with Russell, one that speaks to deep wells of emotion you didn't even know you had. If you think simple music's lost it's power, mystery, or magic, just give French Quarter another listen. Truly remarkable!
