Music reviews of Hourglass
Music Review: "Hourglass," is a timeless master piece
Rating: 4 Stars
This is a greatly overlooked gem recorded by Beckly and Bunnell from 1994.
I recently purchased their new release, "Here and Now" which I consider to be their best work within the last 20 years. After playing "Here and Now" nearly everyday I went back to their catalog looking for something else to sink my teeth into.
"Hourglass," is the perfect companion piece. The opening song starts with a haunting Santanta type riff with a song titled, "Young Moon," and it's one of those songs that a person listens to once, and then they can't stop singing it through out the day.
Other highlights are, "Hope." "Sleeper Train," and "Mirror to Mirror."
With the exception of "Mirror to Mirror," all of these tracks are Bunnell pinned songs. For the most part this is a Bunnell solo project with limited input from Beckly. Interesting the new CD, "Here and Now," is more of a Beckly project.
Therefore, I would encourage fans to purchase both CD's and get a full balanced America meal.
"Hourglass" also features a hard gutiar driven song titled, "Greenhouse," which displays the group's rock roots, and picks up the tempo just at the point where "Hourglass" could have been dismissed as another dismisal MUZIC elevator filler album. Despite the fact that I've been a America fan since 1970, I have to admitt at times they have driffted off into the "Carpenters," and "Neil Diamond" zone.
Songs like "Muskart Love," and "Sister Golden Hair" were a bit too cute to be taken seriously.
However, as a whole for the last 35 years these guys have produced some of the best soft rock/pop rock music by anyone's standards.
"Hourglass," is simply one of their best with current, and up to date material, and on time lyrics, hooks, riffs, and vocals.
My only regret is that it took me 13 years to catch up with this over looked gem. (P.S. for Beach Boy fans this was one of Carl Wilson's last guest recordings before his untimely death, what a voice and talent).
