Dreams Don’t Count is a distinctive exercise in record making for this preeminent American songwriter. Backed primarily by viola, cello, and accordion, this mature and wonderfully intelligent album allows Jules to showcase his talents in an extraordinary but unusual setting. Old and new fans alike will be thrilled by his one of a kind acoustic playing style and a voice that People Magazine has said, "make[s] him seem vulnerable and a bit insecure, a perfect match for lyrics about luckless, hopeless romantics". From darker, heartfelt tracks like "You Anymore" to more upbeat, though still introspective cuts like "Do What They Want," this album takes listeners on a journey that is emotionally and intellectually engaging. It is undeniably a high-water mark in Jules’ song craft.

"I care more about the timeless aspect of making records, and less about making my records sound 'current' or 'competitive'," explains Shear. "I'm still always looking for that same thrill I got when I was a kid, when I'd hear something great on the radio and be completely blown away by it. I try to keep in touch with that feeling and let the rest of it fall by the wayside."
