Free Music Review: Non-Commercial Art At It's Best
Hit: 5 Stars
Do you go through your ripped music and pull out only those songs that suit your fancy for your playlists? You don't have to with this music. It is all good, but only for those that value talent as opposed to commercialized predictable music that most hear.
I live about a hundred miles downriver from him and know, first hand, what he sings about is the truth. If you are one of those that is looking for an insightful interpretation of the southwest, in unmatched vocal poetry, this album is for you. If not, enjoy your radio music.
Borderland Poster
Borderland's guitar and accordion evoke the cantinas of the Texas-Mexico border, but most of the songs here concern what the album-opening "Touch of Evil" calls "the borderline between a woman and a man." Raised in California, veteran troubadour Tom Russell moved a few years ago to the corner of Texas where El Paso meets Juarez, following his songwriting muse into territory that he probes to richly evocative effect throughout these narratives. Though his voice tends toward the wooden ("Hills of Old Juarez" could pass as a Johnny Cash demo) and his melodies too often provide the barest support for his storylines, the help of producer Gurf Morlix, accordionist Joel Guzman, keyboardist Ian McLagan, and singers Eliza Gilkyson and Jimmy LaFave add warmth and range. Highlights extend from the bittersweet balladry of "Where the Dream Begins" to the melodic lilt of "Let It Go," with Dave Alvin, Katy Moffatt, and Russell's longtime guitarist Andrew Hardin collaborating on other material. --Don McLeeseCountry Music CDs
