Free Music Notes for The Loving Kind
Free Music Review: Why does everyone complain ?
Hit: 5 Stars
Every reviewer so far has criticised this disc as having too many political songs. Why ? When you consider how politics, especially US Internal & Foreign policy has effected the whole world and all our lives,(not to mention the Global Economic Crisis) I think it entirely appropriate for some commentary. Anyway, it is not as if the lyrics are so blatant that you feel bludgeoned over the head by them. I am sure, that without the liner notes, most listeners would be entirely unaware of the political commentary attributed to a lot of these songs.
As Peter Cooper, in the liner notes states, ""Still Life" is about George W. Bush (and, I'm afraid, more about the rest of us than we'll care to admit)". This comment seems to be right on the mark, given other reviewer's comments about too much politics. Everyone seems to want to pretend nothing has happened and bury their collective heads in the sand. The song never mentions Mr Bush, so if you were not in possession of the booklet, you would be none the wiser. Therefore the criticism seems silly, as the lyric could just as easily relate to anyone.
Thankfully Griffith's vocals are ageing like fine wine and I applaud her for standing for 'causes'. "The Loving Kind" is a tragic reminder of the controversy of a mixed marriage in 1958. What kind of people were we then and are we any better now ? Causes and issues are important, and if they can be conveyed via song, all the better.
Once again, Griffith's liner notes are more eloquent than I could ever be:
"Finally....to the memory of Mildred & Richard Loving. They changed the heart of my nation with their love. May they stand for change in laws of love (there should never be laws of love) for the future. Long live the Loving Kind. Government.....Out of who we Love and Out of our bedrooms!"
Thank you for getting back on the writing track Nanci. The world needs a spokesperson for LOVE.
The Loving Kind Poster
The Loving Kind finds Nanci Griffith at the top of her game as a songwriter, interpreter, and singer. Featuring nine songs written by Griffith and her collaborators, and four well-chosen covers, the album takes its place alongside the consistently acclaimed work of this Grammy® Award-winning, genre-defying artist. The songs touch on newsworthy issues as well as matters of the heart, capturing life at its most complex. The Loving Kind marks a triumphant return for one of America's most revered singer-songwriters.Country Music CDs
