I'm Good Now is the sixth solo (and 4th studio) album from Bob Schneider, released April 13, 2004 through Shockorama Records and distributed by Vanguard.[1][2] It was described by Allmusic.com as ' quite varied, echoing several singer/songwriter traditions',[3] while popmatters found it 'an impressive batch of songs'.[4] On the lyrics Schneider explained that 'none of them are autobiographical. They are all different narrators, they are all different personas'.[2] No Depression magazine found the collection of song perhaps too eclectic and saying that 'even the most patient listener's endurance has been sorely, and possibly fatally, tested' towards the end.[5] The album was awarded 'Album of the Year' at the Austin Music Awards of 2004.[6] The album was produced by Billy Harvey,[7] and featured contributions by Rafael Gayol and the Tosca String Quartet.[1] The song "Love Is Everywhere" was featured in the film All About Steve.
