Free Music Review: Go Travis!
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm a big fan of the music of Travis Morrison and The Dismemberment Plan, and this CD also fits nicely in a top slot on my favorites list. Having been fortunate enough to catch a few live performances of the Travis Morrison Hellfighters, I feel that the CD exhibits their very best strengths: the upbeat, catchy, positively danceable beats; the wickedly funny, clever, and ironic lyrics; the clear, bold, and infectiously fun vocal treatment of Mr. Morrison--the familiar friend/voice whose stories you crave to hear again and again. It's all there, along with the unabashed delight in taking risks, the sprinkling in of outrageous surprises, and the emotional twists and turns that make this so much more than a CD. It's a glimpse into a personal adventure that is human, vulnerable, and irresistible from beginning to end. Each song is a story with its own distinct personality and the album as a whole will leave you with an undeniably good feeling from the top of your head to your tippy-toes--there's so much positive energy and an absolute love of music and life being shared here. I wouldn't say that this CD sounds just like Mr. Morrison's previous work, but there are wonderful moments of tribute to days gone by. It's an interesting mix of old and new, head and heart, calm and totally off-the-wall. The blend of sounds (electronic, jazz, rap, funk, pop, rock, and, yes, marching band), along with the continual pushing past boundaries and that unmistakable DC attitude, are a welcome breath of fresh air when put next to many of today's predictable, timid, and boring musical choices. I have to say that Travis Morrison's storytelling ability is second to none and he certainly lives up to the hype on this one (Like the first reviewer, I, too, think his solo CD is a shining moment on his lyrical resume); I'm still amazed at how he manages to fit so much information into one song and in a way that not only makes perfect sense, but also keeps you humming and hitting the repeat button. I love All Y'All in its entirety and I honestly can't find a weak song in the bunch, but my stand-out favorites are "As we proceed", "Catch up", "You make me feel like a freak", and "Churchgoer". My favorite line, hands down, is, "All my elderly friends are my fun. We play gin and poker and rum ..."
A review of this CD would not be complete without mentioning the lovely artwork that helps give the first clues as to what we as listeners may find inside: something unique, poignant, and most likely unexpected. The collage is a window into yet another tale of the human experience and becomes the perfect visual counterpart to the colorful collection of stories and observations we are about to hear. In short, All Y'All is a brilliant beginning to yet another chapter in an already-brilliant career. Go Travis! (;
