This is a various artists compilation, with the overall feel being of country, alt or otherwise, or soft rock. My favourite track is Rambler by Jim White, of whom I'd not heard before. A simple story, the verses being semi-spoken, of an old car being renovated and returned to the roads, sorry highways. 'This car is a rambler, a rambler American, in my humble opinion, the best car there's ever been, made in the USA,' as he sings in the chorus. The Felice Brothers' Ponzi has a spoken dialogue intro, which seems to be setting the scene for a Hitchcock movie or something. I'm not really sure what the song is about, but it becomes quite frantic, with various shouting backing vocals, and is enjoyable enough. 'Speeding Motorcycle, let's go, let's go', so sings Jim White and friends to the accompaniment of frantic guitars, in the song Speeding Motorcycle. The Handsome Family ask a series of questions such as 'Have you seen the rain?" & 'Will you come and hear the frogs singing', and ask various members of the family to Come Outside And See, in the song of the same name. A sort of old fashioned gospelly sort of song with electric guitars. The lead singer of Dawes sings of wanting to be the president just to have his face on a million dollar bill. I love the idea of that. The song is about heartbreak and longing, with piano, guitars and backing vocals. A gently picked banjo accompaniment begins Too Much Of A Good Thing, by Hurrah For The Riff Raff, and is soon joined by an acoustic guitar riff. A trumpet or some other brass instrument provides the solo in this gentle and haunting song. I began in the middle, because the album, perhaps rather short at just under 40 minutes, had reached that point by the time I began my review. Now to start again. The albums opener is by The Felice Brothers. It opens slowly and builds up to a frenetic 'everybody calm down, please stop shouting' chorus. It seems to about zombies, with papa 'dead and buried and he walks into town.' No wonder mama was mad. Great stuff. Lovely acoustic strumming, and slide guitars introduce Take Me, a song of rejection by Hurrah For The Riff Raff. There's a classic George Harrison sort of feel to this track. Time Spent In Los Angeles by Dawes has an upbeat sound, great singable chorus, and a Hammond organ riff (or what sounds like it) what more do you want? And that's the lot. Nine songs, all good, all enjoyable, mostly by artists I'd not previously heard of. I got this from Amazon for free, but I think it's well worth shelling out for if you want a good introduction to some of these artists.
