Free Music Notes for Willis Alan Ramsey
Free Music Review: Nearly lost treasure
Hit: 5 Stars
I remember when the Willis Alan Ramsey album first came out. People who were really into music were in awe and owning the record was a measure of just how hip you were. Way too many years later, it stands out more than it did when it was released. This is good stuff. Musically tight, lyrically interesting and, above all, it just got a feel that is too often lacking. Buy it. Just buy it.
Willis Alan Ramsey Poster
A landmark of the progressive country movement, with some of the sweetest, most memorable songs of the '70s, this album has both a rough and silky warmth, distinguished by Ramsey's bass, guitar, and harmonica work, and by his great patience and musical care. As good as the songs are, Ramsey's country-soul voice, owing more to his Alabama roots than to Texas, is even finer. And even if you've never heard of him, you'll recognize his compositions. "Muskrat Candlelight" is notorious, and if that song makes you wary, it shouldn't. Ramsey's version has a soulful glide and captures an elusive romantic tone. David Bromberg recorded "Northeast Texas Women" and Jerry Jeff Walker covered "Ballad of Spider John," but the mythic air of Ramsey's originals--especially "Boy From Oklahoma," the best song ever written about Woody Guthrie--has never been equaled. Unfortunately, the reticent, demanding Ramsey never found that groove again, and while rumors of a follow-up have circulated for decades, his exquisite debut is all we have. --Roy KastenCountry Music CDs
