Free Music Review: Looking for Lucky - A very nice album
Hit: 4 Stars
"Hey, get outta my mind. Then ya tell me we got things to say."
The newest release from Hootie and the Blowfish is the best consistent effort from the boys since Fairweather Johnson. No stinkers, a nice collection, very shiny.
"You come around here lookin' so fine. Make it so hard to walk away."
'Very nice' sounds a little underwealming, I know, but it's just that, despite being a solid effort with a number of memorable songs, there don't seem to be any classics here. No 'Let her cry', no 'Hold my hand' or 'Goodbye'. No 'Earth stopped cold at dawn' or 'Tucker's Town'. No 'Fine Line' or 'Desert Mountain Showdown'. It starts off with the standard bluesy sound and then wanders into borderline Bluegrass country on the last few songs.
"Oh, get outta my head. Because that look could leave me dead."
I think the reason I've rated this album 4 stars (quite a good rating from me) instead of 5 stars is that it sounds a bit too polished. Maybe it's just me . . . 'State your peace' and 'Hey Sister Pretty' are good examples of very nice, if overly polished, songs. And I must say that 'Leaving' is a bit too cute for me. On the other hand, 'The Killing Stone', 'Waltz into me' and 'Get out of my mind' are very good with a bit of the old fire to them.
"Then you tell me that you love me."
Yeah, I do like 'Get out of my mind'. Sticks in your head in a good way. All in all, a solid buy.
Looking for Lucky Poster
Dire as it might have appeared when Darius Rucker appeared strumming a guitar in full cowboy regalia on a fast food commercial, Hootie & the Blowfish have not gone belly up. In fact, the songs the band uncorks on Looking for Lucky are so quintessential Hootie, right in line with 1994's Cracked Rear View and its 1996 follow-up Fairweather Johnson, that the three middling discs sandwiched between them and this offering could justifiably be yanked from their discography. The first single "One Love" lifts its sentiment (and its title) from Bob Marley, rubbing the master's message of peace and love with shiny pop polish. "State Your Peace" reins in its heavy-handed theme by way of straight-up sunny rock (think "Only Wanta Be with You" doused with some substance). "Leaving" loosens genre constrictions with a new-school bluegrass cut-up. Even a waltz is a thrown in - a cool, hum-along kind of waltz that makes you want to hear more. Looking for Lucky should cancel all concerns that Rucker & company have a long future of hamburger-hawking. --Tammy La GorcePop Music CDs
