“’Routine’ is singer/songwriter Don Lennon’s fourth LP. I’ve always loved
how Lennon cuts against pop culture’s grain. Like many performers, Lennon
confesses details about his private life. But unlike many others who spill the
beans, he’s not shrill or self indulgent about telling his story. In [the song]
“Last Comic Standing,” he even sings about his reactions to a television
memorial for the late John Ritter. This is just the sort of off-beat reference
to expect from Lennon’s exceedingly creative blend of pop music and personal
life. Lennon’s a clever, understated conversationalist who gives us a wry
account of his likes and dislikes, obsessions and aversions. It helps that he
has a great ear for a pop hook and a light but sure hand with a
melody.”
-John Brady, NPR on Routine
