Free Music Notes for Natural Forces

Free Music Review: Tender, Brilliant, an American Gem for Lovett
Hit: 5 Stars

Like my friend from Blue Springs Mo, I've owned and listened every Lyle Lovett album, and had the pleasure to see him live three times. I too, eagerly await every CD release,and while there are treasures on every CD, none have come close to my personal favorite, Road to Ensenada, until perhaps, Natural Forces. There are albums that one has to play many times, for the songs to grow on you, for their subtle qualities to take root, and others you like right away. As I type this, I am only through my first listen, haven't even gotten to the final track yet, but I was compelled to write an enthusiastic review and share that Lyle has hit a home run! As is my habit, I open the package and page through the lyrics, see who wrote what, what musicians have joined my favorite American singer songwriter. At first I was a little disappointed to see there are only four original songs, but my concerns were quickly allayed after hearing the gorgeous Whooping Crane. The whole package is brilliant - a delightful, tender offering of Americana, spirit and the best that Lyle has offered in a while. Had I not read the lyric booklet first, I would have sworn every song was penned by Lovett. He owns every word.

Lovett's voice is strong and controlled-everything one would come to expect from a great human instrument.His studio band is tight and you can feel the enjoyment and passion in their playing. There are melodic turns and twists that keep some of the more thoughtful, pensive themes from being morose. The title song is exquisite. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the cover songs - particularly Townsend Van Zandt's Loretta, and Vince Bell's Sun and Moon and Stars musically evoked the warm Americana of a Ken Burns documentary.

As any LL fan knows, he is an artist who is hard to label- to pigeon hole into a style. Big Band, Swing, Jazz, Country, Gospel, Texacali, Tex-Western, Rock and Roll and Blues. Lyle Lovett has done it all. I love that aspect to his music. Natural Forces has something for everyone-this is American music at its best- there is not a bad song on this record.

If you are considering adding your first Lyle Lovett recording to your collection, this is a serious contender for your first choice, though I still give the edge to a more personal (and somewhat painful) Road to Ensenada, Natural Forces is Lyle Lovett at his most diverse, upbeat,thoughtful and proficient best. Forever might not hold you for long, but Natural Forces just might sweep you off your feet.
