Another little gem of an album.
One piano,one voice,what more do you want...Tom Waits?
\"ME & VAN GOGH\" was recorded at the Hi-N-Dry loft in Cambridge, MA, on the late Mark Sandman’s (phat, low-end) acoustic piano. Billy Conway (Morphine, Twinemen) produced. Tom Dube (Richard Thompson) engineered. Featuring 12 original tunes, “ME & VAN GOGH†is a return to an earlier, more innocent format (Rick Berlin - piano/voice). Simple, skeletal portraiture. The Song Itself - unadorned.
As true as a torn pocket (“Buddhaâ€). As confused as a kid stuck in jail (“A Letterâ€). As sad as a beautiful girl alone on a street corner, her heart + loss a thousand miles away (“Don’t Talk About Joanâ€). Absurd as a leering drunk with a beer gut (“Beer Bellyâ€), or a drive past midnight to nowhere (“The Rideâ€), Berlin creates a world, a town, a topography that seems as familiar as it is unusual. If Van Gogh was alive + wrote songs, they might sound like this album (the title track: “Me & Van Goghâ€).

1) Me & Van Gogh
2) Criminal
3) Slut
4) Buddha
5) Don’t Talk About Joan
6) The Ride
