Aimee Mann needs no introduction to most music lovers. She is widely regarded as one of the most talented singer/songwriters of our time. Her songs have a literary quality to them - sharp, spare short stories set to music - so it was probably inevitable that she would one day make a concept album, the musical equivalent of a novella. The Forgotten Arm her fifth solo release, is exactly that: a dozen songs that tell, rather loosely, the story of John (an addicted boxer returning from the Vietnam War) and Caroline as they meet, fall in love and road trip across America.
