Free Music Review: The Most Under-Rated Songwriter
Hit: 5 Stars
Neil Finn is very clearly the most under-rated song writer alive today. And that's a very good thing. He's allowed to operate in a space where he can mostly be himself without all the fanfare and we are treated to his expertise in songwriting.
I saw Neil Finn in 2003 upon the release of this album and to my greatest surprise, I felt like a teenager waiting for my 1st concert. I saw Mr. Finn at Irving Plaza (aka The Fillmore) in Manhattan and I have to say, it was one of the top 5 concerts I have ever seen. I have seen a boatload of concerts because I live so close to NYC (I live in Connecticut) and Mr. Finn delivered a performance that would rival...well...anything. During the concert he received a mobile call from his Dad. Mr. Finn decided he should sing a standard that his father loved from back in the day. It was truly mesmerizing. There was not a dry eye in the house.
Mr. Finn is a true artist. He performed well beyond what I thought he would, roughly 2 and 1/2 hours. He kept going and at one point I thought I was going to miss the last train out from Grand Central but I didn't care. I was prepared to stay to find a hotel because I did NOT want to leave the concert. Mr. Finn ended his concert and then it was time for me to hustle to Grand Central. Rather than take the subway, I took a taxi up to good ole 42nd street and once at the doors, I ran through Grand Central to catch my train which was thankfully on the main level. I barely made the train, meaning, the doors closed behind me the minute I stepped onto the train. It was a rush to get to the train, but given I got to see one of the best songwriters I have ever seen, it was more than worth the careening through the streets of New York to get the train.
So it goes without saying that I highly recommend this album.. From beginning to end, it's simply is a complete work of art.
One All Poster
The 12 tracks on One All proffer a more organic, rougher-hewn take on Neil Finn's solid classicism. While Crowded House's populist folk-pop tugged as many purse-strings as it did hearts, Finn's solo career has been characterized by nothing more strident than the soft shuffle of gentle understatement--as if the antipodean troubadour feared his former muse would be insulted by any attempts to out-pop the relentlessly tuneful House. Not that this follow-up to 1998's patchy solo debut, Try Whistling This, is in any way underwhelming. The swirling effects and treated guitars of "Rest of the Day Off" hint more at latter-day Split Enz and even, occasionally, Oasis, than Crowded House. Unfortunately, there is also a sense that the addition of such sonic accoutrements may be little more than a ham-fisted attempt to add techno-savvy flesh to basic, traditional bones--with "Hole in the Ice" and "Secret God" imbued with dubious guitar solos and irritatingly superfluous backing vocals (courtesy, bizarrely enough, of former Prince demoiselles Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman) that merely serve to detract from the music's warm-hearted core. Nevertheless, Finn's long-running lyrical concerns--love, loyalty, and, predominantly, self-doubt--have never been expressed more adroitly. --Sarah DempsterAlternative Rock Music CDs
