Your world will be full of surprises. Some will scare you, some will sting. But think of what you have already studied. You read about the great explorers who found this country while looking for someplace else. You learned about the American Revolution, whose leaders surprised even themselves with what they were prepared to risk for their freedom.

With five solo albums behind him, Green’s satiric stylings alone may be enough to carry fans through “Sixes & Sevens.” He is consistently smart-mouthed, with more sting than the Magnetic Fields and some serious comedic variety. He puts his chameleonic quality to good use, managing to mock the sensibilities of Tom Waits, Johnny Cash, the Beach Boys, and Broadway musicals without sacrificing any part of his characteristic wit.
