Trifles for Queen Jane

You probably haven’t heard of Will Kindler. Now you have, but just wait until you hear him.
I don’t know the man, but he has just given birth to an exceptionally brilliant ten-track recording, “Trifles for Queen Jane.” I’ve heard it three times now, and I like it better every time. Mind you, I liked it an awful lot the first time.
If comparisons to better-known musicians are helpful, think Dylan (circa 1966) and the Beatles (Sgt. Pepper through White Album), sung by a straight and slightly more subdued Freddie Mercury… if that’s possible. I trust Kindler welcomes such comparisons, as his CD title echoes Dylan’s “Queen Jane Approximately,” and Kindler’s “She (Knows Not),” will remind listeners of Dylan’s “She Belongs to Me.”
You can buy tracks from the record here, for the shockingly low price of 18 cents, unless my eyes tricked me.
That’s probably the best bargain I’ve seen since I found an original, “Carbona” version of the Ramones’ “Leave Home” in a cut-out bin some 30 years ago in New Jersey.
Will, if you read this: Don’t sell yourself short. What you have done is worth way more than that. And tell your friends, by the way, I like that one, too. I’m certain those who keep listening through the shimmering silence after track nine will agree.
