Free Music Notes for The Trouble With Humans
Free Music Review: A fantastic mixture of folk, rock, country and pop
Hit: 5 Stars
I`ve owned this album for a couple of years now, and it still grows on me. Which one is the best of Chip and Carrie`s three previously released duet-albums, is mostly a matter of taste. All of them are good! But for me "The Trouble With Humans" has grown to be the strongest listening experience. Both the tunes and lyrics are great, and there is a warm and deep sound image which brings you closer to the music.
Chip and Carrie`s voices blend also well into each other, and creates beautiful harmonies in a kind of raw and unpolished way. In my opinion this album stands close to the best duet-albums ever published in the genre of alternative country and folkrock (other gems could be: Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris in GP/Grevious Angel, Richard & Linda Thompson in Shoot Out The Lights, Gene Clark & Carla Olson in So Rebellious A Lover, and not to forget last years collaboration between rock-legend Robert Plant and bluegrass-queen Alison Krauss - Raising Sand). Finally, the songs on this Chip and Carrie-album are over all good, so I think it would be unnecessary to comment each and every one of them here. Listen yourself and make up your own mind...
The Trouble With Humans Poster
Like the relationship between Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson in Sofia Coppola's film, Lost In Translation, the intergenerational bonding of Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez works in a way that eludes easy analysis. The elder former hit song writer ("Wild Thing," "Angel Of The Morning")/professional gambler and the younger singer/fiddler harmonize telepathically, while their vocal timbres compliment each other, matching his Billy Joe Shaver gruffness with her Lucinda Williams attitudinal twang. The Trouble With Humans builds on the back-porch feeling of their debut record with improved sonics that increases the intimacy to a point where the tunes feel almost accidentally overheard. While it would be wrong to call it a concept record, there is a strong theme running throughout. Lines like "don't say words I understand" ("Don't Speak In English"), "don't say a word" ("Memphis, Texas"), and "some words should hit the air like silence" ("Curves And Things") speak of the failure of language, ironically on a CD rife with well-crafted lyrics. But truly, for Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez, it is their unique musical kinship that speaks greater volumes. --Michael RossPop Music CDs
