Hit: 4 Stars
I don't understand how fans could quibble about 'December's Child' - overall it's a quality Mark Olson recording. It contains the idiosyncracies of his earlier stuff which can be endearing enough. Most of the songs on 'December's Child' are well-crafted and the homespun nature of the material manages to comes across as genuine. Perhaps that's because it is. When compared with 'My own Jo Ellen' I found this album to be equally rewarding. This is how music "felt" on rare occasion in the early 70's, before slickness became hipness. Think early, countrified Neil Young rather than Gram Parsons, a little frayed and shabbily endearing. Gram was a genius with a breadth of vision rarely matched in popular music. Mark Olson is a greatly talented musician whose gentle muse can refresh and inspire.
December's Child Poster
Since splitting from the Jayhawks to go creek dipping with wife Victoria Williams, Mark Olson has continued to celebrate homespun musical values and his creative independence from the recording industry. While there's nothing slick about December's Child, the melodic warmth of material such as "Still We Have a Friend in You" and "Back to the Old Homeplace" has an almost spiritual glow to it, while the album's arrangements employ trumpet, fiddle, piano, wah-wah guitar--and even doo-wop harmonies--to seemingly organic effect. Uptempo fare such as "How Can I Send Tonight (There to Tell You)" and "Climb These Steps (We Will)" recall the reedy-voiced yearning of Olson's Jayhawks days, while "Say You'll Be Mine" reunites him with former bandmate Gary Louris. The closing "One-Eyed Black Dog Moses" is a hoot, with a hypnotically funky groove that has Williams pushing her vocals to cartoonish extremes. --Don McLeeseAlternative Rock Music CDs
