Free Music Review: Disappointing effort from a great talent
Hit: 2 Stars
I am honestly suprised to see such positive reviews of this album. Where Bramble Rose was urgent and engaging, and Tambourine can rightfully claim to be a landmark album I would place up there with Tapestry as a classic in the female singer/songwriter genre, I found Another Country to be self-absorbed and tedious. In the process of moving to Paris to "discover herself", or whatever other self-indulgent artistic reason she had for doing it, Tift managed to completely lose sight of the musical and cultural roots that drove her music. I can only hope that making Another Country helped Tift find what she was looking for on a personal level, because she completely fails to make any connection whatsoever with this particular listener - all she managed to do was bore me.
Readers would be much better off turning to something recent by Kathleen Edwards or Sarah Harmer.
Another Country Poster
After two records and a Grammy nomination, Tift Merritt took hiatus with a piano in Paris and came home with her best and most personal songs to date. Merritt describes the writing as a plainspoken look at the distance we all attempt to cross: between two people, between one heart and the rest of the world. Another Country Features special guests CHARLIE SEXTON and DOUG PETTIBONEIf the first step brings critical acclaim and the second garners Grammy? consideration, what could be in line for North Carolina native Tift Merritt since a 2002 emergence that left critics scrambling for adjectives? The talented singer/songwriter has often been miscast as a country artist, and Another Country is an opportunity to leave that moniker behind. She dips slightly into the genre, such as on the country rocker "Something to Me," the lead track featuring guitarist Charlie Sexton and sweet organ trimmings from bandmate Danny Eisenberg. From there the record sways into a flurry of styles, and Merritt never misses a beat. The blue-eyed soul of "Morning is My Destination" recalls Dusty in Memphis, while "Tell Me Something True" is an R&B nugget that has the breezy Merritt sounding eerily like Diana Ross. Elements of rock, folk, and blues pervade, and producer George Drakoulias (Black Crowes, the Jayhawks) stays out of the way, allowing Merritt's voice to embody the songs, all 11 of which flow from start to finish, uninterrupted and primed for full-on stardom. --Scott Holter
