Hit: 5 Stars
This second CD by Tift surpasses even the best of other female singer/songwriters like Carole King and Shania Twain, who deservingly had albums that were a huge commercial success. Tambourine is great from top to bottom and the last 5 songs are as good as it gets. To fully appreciate her superb songwriting, one needs to listen and read along with the lyrics a couple of times. Her songs combine sensible lyrics with excellent melodies that cover the whole spectrum of tempo. It is hard to pin her down to one genre, but this album deserved more that just the Grammy nomination that it got. I don't see how every review could not give it 5 stars!
Tambourine Poster
Merritt's resonant if somewhat conventionally alt-country debut Bramble Rose did little to predict this blue-eyed-soul breakout. A mix of hard-charging guitar rockers, horn-charted grooves, and pensive singer-songwriter ballads, Tambourine might have resulted in a stylistic hodge-podge, but producer George Drakoulias lends the same punchy, live-tracked vitality that distinguished the best work of the Jayhawks, Black Crowes, and Maria McKee. Merritt taps deep into her southern musical roots to find her own voice, and that voice has fully blossomed--her enunciation is clearer, her phrasing sensual without straining. Her best songs balance the urgent economy of classic soul singles with a personal, if not precisely confessional, intensity. Like Van Morrison and Dusty Springfield, Merritt follows her country, soul, and rock & roll instincts to find a single ecstatic sound, one that culminates in the full-out gospel testimony of "Shadow in the Way." Tambourine may not quite live up to the Dusty in Memphis comparisons, but it may very well wind up the album of Tift Merritt's career. --Roy KastenCountry Music CDs
