Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The southern states of the US have a reputation for producing gothic writers--dark, florid and atmospheric. Few would argue that Nashville's pre-eminent 13-piece collective, Lambchop, follow in that tradition, in both word and music. On Nixon, group songwriter Kurt Wagner serves up 10 soul-wrenching moments and wraps them in the lush hands of his compatriots. Though long associated with the alt. country scene, Lambchop have never been purists (witness the Jackson 5-ish "Your Fucking Sunny Day" from Thriller), and here they dig deeper into psyche-out music, dark head-trips that culminate in tracks like "Nashville Parent". Not the easiest band to get into, Lambchop nonetheless reward listeners with some of the most intriguing albums around; Nixon--which comes with a suggested reading list--is no different. --Randy Silver
CD Description
Lambchop's NIXON is as wonderfully hard to figure out as anything that the inimitable 13-piece Nashville collective hasyet issued. Gone, for the most part, are the august pedal-steel-driven soundscapes that categorised this album's predecessor. Instead, Kurt Wagner and company flesh out the funk and soul that first peaked through on WHAT ANOTHER MAN SPILLS.
NIXON carries on a loose association with the 37th President of the United States. The album-opening "The Old Gold Shoe" broaches the subject of legacy, while "Up With People"finds its inspiration in the proselytising youth group of the same name that came to prominence during the Nixon administration. There's even a suggested reading list of Richard Nixon biographies in the disc's booklet. Instrumentally, the group pulls out all the stops, blending arena-rock outros, horns that mimic the music of John Phillip Sousa and Kool & the Gang with equal aplomb, a female backing chorus that recalls Pink Floyd at its most turgid, blaxploitation strings, and gurgling synth lines to glorious effect. Wagner revels deliriously in his postmodern soul-man role, layering the Curtis Mayfiled-inspired "What Else Could it Be" with high-pitched "la-la-las" and "hoo-hoos" and closing out the track witha sincere "awww, c'mere sugah".
