4.0 out of 5 stars Return to roots, return to form, 6 April 2009
By Adam K. "adam k" (London, London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
After the rather glossy, more commercial-sounding "Be Careful What You Wish For", Jonatha Brooke -- one of the best singer/songwriters around, right now -- embarks on a labour of love. Given access to Woody Guthrie's unpublished lyrics and poems, she brings them into the light again and gives them fitting (and not always obvious) musical settings. Hence "All You Gotta Do is Touch Me" becomes a slinky, smokey soul-filled workout (courtesy of backing vocals by Keb' Mo', hitherto unknown to me). "There's More True Lovers Than One" becomes the kind of rocker that Springsteen would kill for, and "Madonna on the Curb" is a heartbreaking tale of urban poverty that still rings true today. Overall, "The Works" has a warmer, more organic sound than JB's last outing, and is all the more welcome for that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Guardian review, 6 Feb 2009
This review is from: The Works (Audio CD)
Woody Guthrie died in 1967, but his influence on the US music scene is as great as ever. He was an extraordinary songwriter, tackling personal and political themes, but always mixing anger and outrage with optimism and good humour. Although his recording career ended in the late 40s, he kept writing during the years when he was too ill to perform, and his lyrics (though not the intended melodies) have been preserved in the Guthrie archives. Billy Bragg and Wilco were invited to write new tunes for Woody's songs in the late 90s, and now it's the turn of singer-songwriter Jonatha Brooke. She's backed by a batch of celebrated musicians including Joe Sample on keyboards and Steve Gadd on drums, with extra vocals from bluesman Keb' Mo'. The result is a sophisticated set, with none of Guthrie's (or Bragg's) rough edges, but the lyrics make it special. Madonna On the Curb is a story of poverty, suffering and unexpected beauty, There's More True Lovers Than One is a thoughtful song of lost love that ends up like a Springsteen rock ballad, while My Battle is a slow, personal reflection with the chorus: "I will never dread the day I will die, 'cause my sunset is somebody's morning sky." There aren't too many lyrics like that.
