3.0 out of 5 stars Angular, dark and challenging, 24 Sep 2008
By M. G. Wilson (Eastbourne) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Tooth of Crime is a series of songs for a Sam Shepard play of the same name. Shepard originally wrote the play in 1972 and subsequently produced a revised version in the nineties. Burnett likewise has been working on these songs for many years. The story concerns an aging washed up rock singer battling with a rival in `The Game'- a world of violent rock music(?!?) If the plot is opaque, it could hardly be said that the lyrics clarify matters. Nonetheless the bitter sardonic mood and dystopian futuristic setting are clear enough.

Although using many of the same players featured on the Burnett produced Krauss / Plant album `Raising Sand', `Tooth of Crime; could not be further from that album stylistically or in atmosphere. Where `Raising Sand' is warm and organic, `Tooth of Crime' is cold, dark and alienated. In many ways this sounds more like a Sam Phillips album than a T Bone Burnett album. Taking that as a reference point, imagine a Tom Waits soundtrack for Bladerunner and you won't be too far off. This is not easy listening: the songs are built for musical theatre of the art-house variety, rather than radio or dancehall, and as such often do not really stand alone. As a producer and arranger, Burnett is second to none, but here he assembles and deploys his musical forces to create a soundtrack that is nothing like a soundtrack in the conventional sense, being too angular and challenging to be the background for anything. Darkness pervades the songs from first to last. `People tell me I look like hell. Well I am hell...You're my friend, but I'm going to kill you.' Burnett intones on the opener, `Anything I say can and will be used against you'. And `Sweet Lullaby' which closes out the album is anything but: `Time is quit, look it in the eye. In blood we sit, in dark we die. Fare thee well, sweet lullaby'.

For fans it's good to have any new music from Burnett, but while interesting, it's hard to see this becoming a favourite.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 23 Jul 2008
I bought this on the back of seeing T Bone live with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss recently, where he was excellent. I found the album fairly tuneless, and difficult to get into. I had been expecting more conventional blues/rock, but this slipped into "experimental" and I couldn't recommend it, even after 4 or 5 listenings. I don't think there will be many more.
