Cummings looks terrific for a 54-year-old musician with over twenty albums to his credit. Once upon a time Cummings seemed nervous, these days he gives a good impression of someone who enjoys his life. Presumably, that’s what the album title is about. A part of Cummings legend has always been his indifference to fame. Stephen Cummings is a cult artist and his cult is becoming bigger as the kids check him out: "I don’t think I know anyone on earth that I really consider understands me whatsoever, apart from my girlfriend.” What sets Stephen Cummings apart from the rest of the singer songwriters is a kind of self-demystification. Cummings comments on Happiest Man Alive: " I think it’s the best record yet. We recorded it all live in the studio in two days, and then mixed it in a day. There’s hand claps, Gibson guitars, literary illusion, songs about f++king and great artists and how modern society is all about forgetting." The songs cannot be faulted: close your eyes as the band play these lovely majestic, nay classic pop songs. Laughter, like sex and eating is an absolutely universal human phenomenon. Happiest Man Alive captures this perfectly.

On first single and title track: 'Funny track, wholly written with bass and drums not unlike a lot of the Dark Satanic Mills EP. Quite distinct from the rest of the album structurally. Thematically a return to the Eden subject previously explored in the Sunset Studies track 'There Is No Such Place'. - Glenn Richards
