Free Music Review: Another Fine CD from Scott Miller and the Commonwealth
Hit: 5 Stars
"Reconstruction" is a nice and certainly lively live CD from Scott Miller and the Commonwealth. It is a rebound from the disappointing "Citation" CD. "Citation" was not bad, but it simply did not measure up to "Thus Always to Tyrants" and "Upside, Downside." As live recordings often are, "Reconstruction," is a marker for where the band is now. And Miller and the Commonwealth remain as engaging as ever. This is roots rock at its best.
Reconstruction Poster
Live albums don't get much livelier than this, as Scott Miller and the Commonwealth do what great bar bands have always done. They tear up the joint with propulsive interplay, powerhouse riffing, catchy chorus hooks that practically demand a singalong, and even the occasional heartfelt ballad. The former leader of Tennessee's V-Roys leads his quartet through road-warrior anthems ("Eight Miles per Gallon"), gambling songs ("On a Roll"), and drinking songs ("Drunk All Around This Town"). He channels the inspiration of Chuck Berry ("It Didn't Take Too Long") and Bruce Springsteen ("Freedom's a Stranger") and dips into the songbooks of Tom Petty ("Spike") and Neil Young ("Hawks and Doves"). The crowd never wants to let the band go. Miller may not be the equal of Springsteen, Petty, and Young, but you can no longer hear those guys play bars. The colder the beer and the freer it flows, the better this music sounds. --Don McLeeseCountry Music CDs
