Hurricane Relief
The past few days has hit me in a very personal way. As many of my friends and fans know, New Orleans is a second home to me. Ive spent more time there in the past year than almost anywhere else. Its where i constructed my newest record. It holds a very passionate place in my heart. Its also home to some of my closest friends, whom will be spending the next 12 months trying to piece their lives back together, and for the next few months will remain homeless. It's times like this where everyone really needs to show a sense of cummunity and compassion to those around them. The easiest way to help is to donate or volunteer to the American Red Cross. Even if its only $5 it makes a difference.

What The Critics Are Saying
"The Hustler is a richly diverse suite as exploratory as its predecessor was stark. Chiseled at the edges, Klein's ugly-pretty voice is reminiscent of Buffalo Tom's Bill Janovitz or an ashes-strewn Paul Westerberg. Ani DiFranco and Soul Asylum's Dave Pirner guest too, soothing Klein's characters through various states of emotional flux. Urban gothic par excellence."
- Uncut Magazine - Album Of The Month - August.
