Jon Regen

Produced by Mitchell Froom (Paul McCartney, Randy Newman, Suzanne Vega), Jon Regen's new album Stop Time features the singer's terrific songwriting skills. Featuring some terrific piano work, the woozy "I Will Wait" has just enough sarcasm and witty wordplay that it could pass as a Randy Newman tune. Davey Faragher and Pete Thomas from Elvis Costello's band the Imposters make guest appearances on the disc. (Niesel)
