Hit: 5 Stars
I am having serious issues with ever removing this from my CD player. I recently saw Gavin Degraw in concert and went in with no clue who Marc Broussard was. I wound up buying the live performance AND Carencro; he put on a helluva show. He's young and puts out a great energy and vibe; his vocals are so soulful and at times remind me of James Brown, plus I love the combination of blues, soul, rock. Don't be expecting just another singer-songwriter with a guitar, because while those labels might be applicable, that's definitely not all there is to Marc Broussard.
HOME - Co-written by his father. It's such a soulful and powerful song. Definitely one of the highlights. This shows off his voice so well.
ROCKSTEADY - One of my favorites, just because it's so fun. So what if the lyrics aren't so deep? I'm not looking for life changing lyrics, just a good song. I love this song, and the chorus is so catchy. Would have made a great first single, IMO.
THE BEAUTY OF WHO YOU ARE - Okay, despite some predictable, boyband-ish lyrics, I still love this song. The vocals are really soulful and smooth.
SAVE ME - Amazing. Love the chorus; the "save me"s are...oh, just listen to it and you'll get it.
COME AROUND - The "do do do"s should sound cheesy but don't. This will get you up dancing and singing. Also, such a strong chorus and love the bridge. Definitely the perfect song, my favorite off Carencro.
WHERE YOU ARE - Something a little different, slower and a little more pop-ish. I can see why it was released as the first single, but it wouldn't have been my first choice. Still a great song, but not the strongest on here.
LONELY NIGHT IN GEORGIA - So much soul, what a GREAT song. Feels really bluesy. What a highlight.
SATURDAY - Oh, LOVE this song. Really laid-back, feel-good vibe; perfectly suits the feel of sleeping late on a Saturday.
THE WANDERER - I've heard the two different versions of this song (one from Momentary Setback), and I have to say that though they're both good, Momentary Setback's beats it just slightly. This version seems to have lost something from it. The vocals don't seem as strong, and even the instrumentals seem more subdued.
HOPE FOR ME YET - Mellow, relaxed, a great song. It doesn't stand out so much as the others, but it is definitely not to be passed over.
LET ME LEAVE - The emotion in this song, on the vocals, wow. What a gorgeous song. God. Maybe this isn't the best way to put it, but when I first heard this, all I could wonder was how this was a white man singing with this much soul.
GAVIN'S SONG (Hidden Track) - Did I say I had a favorite yet? I lied. Because this is definitely my favorite song of his and quite possibly just in general. It's absolutely beautiful, and you can really hear his vocals well in this, because it's solely Marc and his guitar, singing his heart out to his son Gavin. Just...wow.
Carencro Poster
Carencro, named for Marc Broussard's Louisiana hometown, is at times a swamp-pop masterpiece, with leadoff track "Home" stealing the mud-crusted show. What happens in the 11 songs that follow, though, could redeem major record labels from their bullying reputations. Because instead of shoving this pop/rock/soul/R&B wunderkind in the right direction--that being the direction that center-spears his gift for channeling greats like Sam Cooke, John Hiatt, and Stevie Wonder in the space of a single song--whoever was in charge let him wander, and what resulted is a collection that, while hugely promising, fails to measure up to his big, baritoney talent. The songwriting is troublesome in spots ("I know you can break these chains/and set me free," from "Save Me"), and the genre shifts, while fun ("Saturday" is a '70s-style, horn-studded affair), can be jarring. For next go-round, fans--he will earn them, and deservedly, with this disc--should keep their fingers crossed that "Home" is where his heart is. --Tammy La GorceBlues Music CDs
