Free Music Review: david berman in cowboy boots
Hit: 4 Stars
ok, so first off, it is immediately obvious that stephen malkmus had nothing to do with this record. excepting perhaps silver jews' first album, the splendid starlite walker, this is berman's most countrified offering yet. and i like it...lots. countrified and shambling, yes, but not amateurish as the debut certainly sounds. no, the playing here is exceptional, and if it weren't for scoping out the liner notes, i'd believe that berman picked himself up a new band. there are solos throughout--guitars, piano--and they all sound wonderful. the lyrics are top-notch as always...hats off to the poet laureate of indie rock (i think he's published two volumes of poetry so far). another thing i noticed is the story-teller quality, more dominant on this record than any before it. very low-key verses with maybe some guitar strums and that's it, definitely highlighting the vocals and lyrics. which is just as well. it's a shuffling, rowdy album, but rowdy in a comfortable fashion. i get clear images of front porches and cows and cowgirls and smokey mountains. "tennessee" and "let's not and say we did" are friggin' stupendous. if you're a fan of the starlite walker end of the silver jews spectrum, this is highly recommended. if you aren't, it's still recommended, just prepare yourself for a country/western record.
in retrospect, the real treasure of this album is the ballad, "i remember me". i can say frankly and without fear of hyperbole, this is the saddest, most poignant song i've ever heard in my life. simply devastating, simply beautiful.
