Free Music Review: Capturing a variety of Americana on MODERN ART
Hit: 4 Stars
Mickey Mantle sings of joy and regret as he remembers the simple life as a "Kid in Spavinaw," "Muhammad Ali" makes an appearance in all his brash confidence, and even poor Stephen Foster is present on this collection of story songs, where Russell shares with the listener a variety of lives, both real and imagined. Each little biography is a reflection on some aspect of life's trial, but many are confirmation that the struggle is worthwhile including the auto-biographical title cut. There are a few throwaways here; the Bukowski/Zevon blend makes me want more Zevon and less Bukowski, and one more version of "The Dutchman" doesn't really add anything to the mix. But the addition of Nanci Griffith on three cuts and the hilarious rockabilly of "Tijuana Bible," more than make up for any of the other shortcomings.
