If Jonathan Richman and Bruce Springsteen were somehow genetically spliced during a catastrophic teleportation accident, Ezra Furman may be the happy result. His voice is nasal, his persona nebbish, but what stage presence! What energy! What songs! And that closing cover of Jackie Wilson's "Higher" was one of those sublime communal experiences that I've perhaps experienced only a dozen times over 1000 gigs. Simply brilliant.
