Music reviews of Gravity
Music Review: Gravity (Bonus CD)
Rating: 3 Stars
I can tell that I'm going to be in the vast minority on this. I saw this artist several weeks ago on Austin City Limits & I was blown away, I mean, I was impressed. I was so impressed that I immediately went on line & bought this. Gravity never did enter the charts nor did any singles, I haven't found any evidence of singles but I could be wrong.
What I saw on the PBS network made me wonder why I haven't heard of this guy. Here he was on TV with a band that could play almost anything. What impressed me the most was the violinist & two celloists (that doesn't appera to be a word); and they ROCKED! I thought I had discovered something similar to Electric Light Orchestra. Of course I realize that this was his first album & that he's come a long way since this release. But I wanted to hear this first album, sometimes it's the best album an artist had ever put out. I realize the man has been on the fringes of music for many years, paying his dues like few others have. I can tell all these albums were independently produced, probably on a shoe string budget & out of his own pocket, or friends that really believe in him.
What I found on this album is a roots rocker & what could be called Americana, it borders sometimes on country. The song that impressed me the most was "Pyramid of Tears". I really, REALLY wanted to like this album. No, he's not a great singer, no, he doesn't have the greatest stage presence; but from some of the things I have since read about him, he seems to have a lot of respect in the business. I would love to tell you that this is the greatest album I've heard in years but, alas, it isn't. I'm not sure who I can even compare him to; he runs the gamut of music on the mellow end of things. Perhaps I should get one of his later live albums because he really impressed me in his live performance.
