The record feels like a full-circle moment—reconnecting Albert with the wide-eyed, guitar-slinging kid from New York whose world was flipped from black and white to technicolor by an 8-track of Rubber Soul on the way to a ball game.

The result is fierce, soulful, and electric, an album that crackles with history, heart, and the kind of grit that demands to be heard loud and lived with
