| | Joel Mabus : Six of One - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | Mabus controls the drama like a master storyteller, and when he follows his tale with the instrumental "Toss the Feathers," he provides a breathing space that allows the story time to settle deep into the listener's consciousness. |
 | | Perhaps the oddest though most enjoyable song on the album is "Little Baby Lindberg." This darkly humorous piece begins with, "Little baby Lindberg, never saw it coming," then chronicles a number of historical disasters: John Jacob Astor boards the Titanic, Lincoln goes to the theater, and Elvis spends his last few minutes in the bathroom. |
 | | Mabus suggests, in this most creative of putdown songs, that the person he's singing to, like these historical figures, will get theirs one day. |
