Free Music Review: Quite Possibly Willie's Best
Hit: 5 Stars
'Phases and Stages' is less a concept album than a novel set to music. The story chronicles the aftermath of a broken relationship, and is told, first, from the woman's point of view, followed by the man's perspective. Willie succeeds brilliantly in telling a good story while preserving his integrity as a country musician. I can think of few other instances when words and music have been woven together so seamlessly.
This should come as no surprise; Willie's uncanny songwriting ability was evident even in early hits like "Hello Walls." But it is difficult to deny that he may have hit a poetic high point on 'Phases and Stages.' Describing the woman's frame of mind in "Walkin'": "If guilt is the question, truth is the answer: I've been lyin' to me all along." The man, realizing he no longer wields influence over the woman, in "It's Not Supposed to Be That Way": "Like the other little children, you're gonna dream a dream or two--but be careful what you're dreamin', soon your dreams will be dreamin' you."
Fans of Willie's musicianship will appreciate the range of sounds he creates on 'Phases and Stages': the stripped-down solo guitar interludes, the ease with which his well-worn band runs through the country groove of "Bloody Mary Morning" and "Sister's Coming Home," and even more lushly orchestrated moments like "I Still Can't Believe You're Gone." This is the complete package.
If it were possible to give this album six stars, I'd do so without reservation. 'Phases and Stages' is a gem. You'll appreciate it the first umpteen times you play it, and then you'll come back to it months later and become infatuated all over again. Most musicians and writers would trade their careers for the creative genius Willie finds in 'Phases and Stages.'
