is “At a Loss” for words, as he tells it, in the hard-rocking first single from his upcoming album. You might even imagine that it’s the cat that’s got his tongue, looking at the seemingly menacing feline on the cover of the forthcoming “Catspaw,” which comes out January 21, 2021. The debut track from the collection is out today, andListening to “At a Loss,” you might get the impression that it’s an aggressive song about feeling adrift, if that’s not too great a contradiction in terms.

“Also, he adds, “it’s just very pandemic — ‘I’m at a loss,’ you know?” Check out the new track, below. “One thing about this album is that it’s really consistent in the approach,” Sweet says. “It’s a prettyalbum for me. I think a big influence over it is that I played all the lead guitar myself on it, and that pulls it together and makes it it all gel as one. Oftentimes when I make albums, I’ll have really different instrumentation and really different kinds of songs, and this album just is a little different in that greater consistency.

Playing lead himself on an album is a fiftysomething dream come true, even if he’d been in no hurry in his previous dozen-plus solo albums. “You know, it’s funny,” he says. “When I was a teenager, I remember an actual specific day where I had this daydream in my brain about getting better at playing … I could never understand how people played lead guitar. To me, it was this incredible mystery.
