Free Music Notes for Tea & Sympathy
Free Music Review: Fantastic
Hit: 4 Stars
I only recently became a fan of Powderfinger and was apprehensive when I learned that Fanning had gone off on his own. I'm usually disappointed by the solo careers of frontmen of my favorite bands - Rob Thomas needs to resurrect Matchbox 20, Sarah Bettens needs to return to K's Choice...the list goes on.
But that being said, this album is actually on par with the Powderfinger albums. It's certainly mellower in tone, but has a similar vibe to it. Fans of Elliot Smith, Alexei Murdoch, Matt Wertz, and comparable artists will love this album. Some highlights include "Thrill is Gone" (reminds me of Powderfinger's "Love Your Way), "Believe," and "Watch over Me."
The range and quality of the music is topnotch. I definitely recommend this album.
Tea & Sympathy Poster
If Bernard Fanning's identity weren't so well documented as frontman for Powderfinger (a hard-rocking band popular in its native Australia for more than a decade), one might suspect it was a pseudonym allowing Ryan Adams to release even more albums on Lost Highway. Like the prolific Adams, Fanning combines a yearning vocal reediness with a penchant for country-tinged, acoustic-electric arrangements steeped in the influence of the 1970s. Fiddle, mandolin, piano, lap steel, and harmonica frame his bittersweet balladry, with much of the midtempo material built around the strum of an acoustic guitar. Yet the strength of Fanning's songs and suppleness of his vocals distinguish him from the run of the alt-country mill, and Tchad Blake's coproduction gives the sound a homespun shimmer. Among the highlights, the gentle harmonies of "Down to the River" build to a stirring, electric crescendo, the harder edge of "Which Way Home?" evokes his days in a rock band, and the reflective intimacy of "Watch Over Me" provides a fitting finale. --Don McLeesePowderfinger main man, Bernard Fanning unveils his debut solo album, Tea & Sympathy.
