Free Music Review: This One Grows On You
Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this when it first came out, and I admit that it took a little time for it to grow on me compared to some of his other works. But this is a thoughtful CD with plenty of the usual pleasures to be had from JT, including witty lyrics, interesting musical textures, heartfelt emotion, and his unique and special voice. Favorites include the title track, a tribute to an unhip couple whose true love has helped them weather life together; Valentine's Day, a gem about love whose witty content is combined with a beautifully meandering melody; Sun on the Moon, an uptempo shot in the arm with a funky, syncopated rhythm driving it; Sweet Potato Pie, an unabashed love song; Home By Another Way, which retells a Bible story in an amusing and captivating way; Letter In the Mail, a wistful trip back to an old, now dying rural hometown; and the life-affirming First of May, which makes you want to dance, make love and eat wonderful food. Like I said, it takes a little time to grow on you, but it's worth it. JT is an American master.
