Free Music Notes for Chameleon
Free Music Review: A Chameleon Indeed
Hit: 4 Stars
I have to say that Tim O'Brien's album is a bit of a chameleon. The use of antique instruments led me to think the music would have a bit of a historical flare a la Bruce Springsteen's Seeger Seesions, but not really. O'Brien's album had more of a modern folk quality mostly due to the lyrics which taken on the current political and cultural climate at times.
I also found Tim O'Brien to have a voice that isn't at all unlike Jimmy Buffett's. That isn't a bad thing, but it led my mind to expect more Jimmy Buffett like music than Tim O'Brien.
Thus, I think the Chameleon title comes through. Never-the-less, Tim O'Brien does have talent. Get past the pre-listening expectations and initial listen expectations, the song writing is fantastic. It has a folk-country sound that echoes to Bob Dylan's talent (although not nearly as good). Then again, Tim O'Brien's voice is much easier to listen too.
When you put it all together, and give it a few listens, Tim O'Brien emerges from the background... The chameleon is visible, and you have an artist that stands out with an album that isn't bad at all.
