In late 2022, Hitchcock released the studio album "Shufflemania." This concert features five songs from that album. The album is rather rocking, done with a full band, so it's interesting to hear solo acoustic versions of those songs. He also did a Nick Lowe song I never heard him do before, "Lately I've Let Things Slide."
There also is a lot of talking between songs, with Hitchcock's always entertaining stream of consciousness verbal style. The audience was extremely small. Judging by the clapping, it sounds like he played for about eight people! He was playing more for an Internet audience, since this was broadcast live over the Internet, and sometimes he checked on-line feedback and responded to it.
By the way, I lost track of his home concerts in late 2020. If anyone has those going into 2021 and wants to share them with me, please let me know.
This album is an hour and 21 minutes long.
