THE RESIDENTS - SAM'S ENCHANTED EVENING

I'm listening to The Residents' brand-new "Sam's Enchanted Evening" album at this very moment.
A weird and exciting puzzle of musical fragments and stories.

Sam's Enchanted Evening is a theatrical performance by Randy Rose, lead singer of The Residents. It was performed between October 2011 and March 2012 in Berkeley, California and New York City. Rose's only companion on stage was long-time Residents collaborator Joshua Raoul Brody on piano. A one-man cabaret performance consisting largely of re-interpreted renditions of popular songs from the mid-to-late 20th century, interpreted by Rose in the guise of "Sam the Stranger", it was the first Residents-related performance piece to be credited to an individual member of the group.
