Notes

A lo-fi effort cut in a California basement, I, Jonathan returns Richman to the full band setting and manic diversity which recent conceptual efforts have forsaken. Sloppy and wild, the album is a blast from start to finish; among its many concerns are skydiving ("Tandem Jump"), sea life (the surf instrumental "Grunion Run"), nightclubbing ("I Was Dancing in a Lesbian Bar") and hero worship ("Velvet Underground").
