Free Music Notes for Tomorrow's Sounds Today
Free Music Review: Hail Dwight!
Hit: 5 Stars
Like most people, I go through musical phases; I listen to certain genres or artists for awhile then move on to another genre or artist. My musical interests scan the spectrum, from classical to the Clash and most styles in between, though I gravitate mostly to Roots/Country. The masters of the genre, Bob Dylan, Lucinda Williams, Joe Ely, Willie Nelson, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, and Dwight, to name a few are some of the most legitimate and influential songwriters of our time.
I discovered Dwight back in the nineties, and although I detest the commercial fodder of mainstream Nashville country music and the stamped-out pretty boys and girls with their cowboy hats and limpid pop songs, I took to his music right away. There is so much more to Dwight's artistry than what passes for "Country" today; to paraphrase Willie Nelson, real country music is "three chords and the truth." Dwight embodies that sentiment to a tee. His songs have the ability to crawl into your psyche and live there forever like the songs of the great ghosts of the past, Woody Guthrie, Hank Williams, and Dwight's inspiration, Buck Owens.
Regardless of its enigmatic title (can anyone explain it?), I agree with many of the previous writers' assessment that Tomorrow's Sounds Today is Dwight's best effort. The opener, "Love Caught Up To Me," tears out of the gate with a driving rhythm and a killer hook that augurs many more to come; Dwight's alter-ego Pete Anderson and company have never sounded better or more energetic; I can't think of another band in America, save for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, more in sync with each other and always ready to rock out, or turn it down behind Dwight's beautiful ballads. In "Free to Go" Pete Anderson and the band deftly channel both the Allman Brothers and Marshall Tucker Bands; my only wish is that they would have extended this track's rousing coda to make it the epic piece it could have been. Dwight performs three duets with Buck Owens, two of which are bonus tracks. On "The Sad Side of Town," they share songwriting credit; this ballad, a beautifully timeless track, recalls the glory days of unapologetic cry-in-your-beer story-telling pioneered by Buck Owens and it reminds us how much of a loss Buck's death is to the music world.
The record closes with Dwight's rendition of Rick Nielson's "I Want You to Want Me," a fun romp that somehow doesn't belong here - in addition to his previous version of Queen's " Crazy Little Thing Called Love" I wonder why he just doesn't produce an album of familiar rock interpretations. Anyhow, buy this record. You won't be disappointed.
