If there's such a thing as cabaret folk-rock, Jensen a frequently elliptical songwriter whose spiritual forebears include James Taylor, and a post­Billy Joel piano man with extra strength in his fingers and throat is promoting it. He also lays down some cosmopolitan funk, and a sly sense of humor emerges in "My Baby and Me," about a happily hitched S&M couple. Rock pistons Karen Mack and Lina Koutrakos back him on vocals, as does on a rediscovered track the late, pure-voiced Nancy La Mott.

Move over, Michael Feinstein, there's a new genius in the room. Rick Jensen has been carting off all the New York cabaret awards of late, and this debut album shows why. Cole Porter, Peter Allen, Tom Lehrer, and Nancy Lamott must be beaming down on their collective progeny. From deeply moving ballads like "The Heart Knows" to the S/M humor of "My Baby and Me," Jensen makes adult, sophisticated, music that could make seltzer taste like champagne. A special treat: a duet with the much-missed Ms. LaMott.
