Free Music Review: Jeremy finds his own voice
Hit: 5 Stars
It looks like there are a lot of positive reveiews here so I'm probably being redundent but I like this enough to want to comment. I love Jeremy's sweet slide tone. His solo lines have matured from being copies of Elmore James into reflecting Jeremy's own musical voice. Too often slide players confine their solos around certain licks and shapes that get recycled on every song (ala Elmore) but here he shows real creativity in his solos and is beholden to nobody.
It is more laid back than old Mac but there is more energy underneath the calm than you see when most old guys make an album 30 years after their fame. I'm not a fan of these in any genre and cite examples like Peter Green, Peter Wolf (from J Geils), Otis Rush, or Charles Lloyd. But this album has enough beat to be fun and enough creativity to be interesting to me.
Last note: the allmusic review says Jeremy is playing a National on the acoustic stuff but in the liner notes he says he is playing an Amistar with a pickup. Just want to give a shout out to Amistar, sort of the poor man's National. I own a single cone Amistar and tricone National and I love them both. The Amistar is about half the price of a similar brass bodied National but I think the quality is very similar. Hard to come by in the US but great stuff.
Precious Little Poster
"Precious Little" represents a sensational comeback for Jeremy Spencer, one of the original members of Fleetwood Mac, whose signature slide guitar and vocals helped define the early sound of that legendary group. After thirty years, with his chops fully intact, Jeremy has returned with a stunning new album that easily equals any of his early triumphs. As his former bandmate, Mick Fleetwood, remarked after hearing "Precious Little", "Great! All the passion, humour, poignancy, and yes, the magic touch. Congratulations on a righteous album."Jeremy Spencer was part of the creative heart of the original, pre-Buckingham/Nicks Fleetwood Mac--a talented songwriter and slide guitar foil to the estimable Peter Green, blessed with the sweet, high voice of a teen idol. Thirty-five years after his departure from the band to find God, and twenty-seven since his last solo recording, Spencer still has that angelic voice and a touch on slide guitar that makes Precious Little the comeback blues album of 2006. A few songs do misfire. "Bitter Lemon" has a clichéd premise, but Spencer's buttery ease on the slide resonator is spellbinding. And "Psychic Waste," which lays humanity's sorry state at the feet of the entertainment industry, is flatly delusional. Yet his "Trouble and Woe" is remarkable: a deep song about wanting and loneliness with twined guitar and harmonica melodies that moan out the tune's sad emotional core. Elmore James's "It Hurts Me Too" and "Bleeding Heart" shimmer with authenticity as Spencer slows them down to let his unhurried, dark-toned slide take command. And the title track, which recalls Mark Knopfler's post-Dire Straits work with an arrangement built around gentle electric guitar fingerpicking, is a song of faith and pilgrimage befitting the former rock star's hard-won spiritual orientation. --Ted Drozdowski
