Free Music Notes for Rabbit Fur Coat
Free Music Review: Amazing solo effort
Hit: 5 Stars
This album moves Jenny Lewis further in the country/gospel direction that Rilo Kiley had inched towards with More Unusual. However, she still keeps things poppy, and the songs are easy on the ears.
The big surprise is how much depth, feeling, and meaning she is able to put into her songs, while still keeping them accessible and catchy. The first few tracks in particular will grab your attention and not let go. You will find the urge to replay the previous song almost irresistible.
I didn't like every song, and my feelings toward some of them have changed since I first bought the album, but most have withstood the test of many listens, and this is clearly a five-star album. (Oddly, the most well known song, Handle With Care, though good, feels completely out of place on this album.)
All in all, a great album.
Rabbit Fur Coat Poster
Channeling the evocative storytelling of Laura Nyro and the soulful sexiness of Dusty Springfield, singer/songwriter Jenny Lewis skips all contemporary studio gimmickry to proffer a near-perfect solo debut. The front-woman for indie darlings Rilo Kiley breaks away from the songwriting democracy she shares with that band's co-leader Blake Sennett (also of the Elected), drawing inspiration from the crackling vinyl albums of her youth. And from the opening notes of "Run Devil Run," an acapella gospel hymn sung with the Watson Twins, through the note-for-note cover of the Traveling Wilbury's "Handle With Care" (with Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst and Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard), Lewis verifies this is her record. Her goose-bump voice can be as mournful as it is optimistic, but remains perpetually mesmerizing on Rabbit Fur Coat's best songs: the god-fearing country-rocker "The Charging Sky," the radio-poppy "You Are What You Love" and, especially, the title track, a haunting, solo-guitar waltz of poor meets rich. --Scott HolterKnown and loved by many as the enchanting front-woman for LA's Rilo Kiley, Jenny's vocal and songwriting gifts have continued to blossom at a rapid rate since that band's first album in 2000. Jenny's hauntingly soulful voice, sometimes bursting with buoyant spirit and at other times plaintive and world wearied, is deep, sensual and beguiling. Intricate storytelling and evocative lyrics infuse these songs with a captivating vibrancy but may be knocked sideways by the musical alchemy at play as a result of folk, country, and Southern gospel influences.
