Ain"t no problems right here, my dear, is how Eccentricity"s big, brassy opening track, Believe, begins lyrically. Mineo goes on to encourage people to worry less about their problems and just believe.Where Did You Go? plods along like a playful elephant, with Bill Muter"s tuba setting a New Orleans-style tone. Instead of whining about a departed lover, the song confronts her with an appeal to be reasonable: Where did you go?/Why won"t you just acknowledge one thing that I did/Before you go and blow it all up in your head? Eccentricity, the title track, addresses people who rub Mineo the wrong way with the sort of eccentric antics that he can"t buy into. It also poses a question about its subjects that people might wonder about him as well: Is this deep or just eccentric? The track also references Shakespeare"s character Hamlet, one of the most impenetrable madmen in Western literature. As is the case with Hamlet, it"s uncertain how much of Mineo"s curious behavior is evidence of keen perception and how much is just plain oddness. His recordings, for the most part, are less peculiar than his person. But for occasional maniacal laughter on a few songs, the album mostly presents profound awareness and a positive message.
