Music reviews of How to Grow a Woman from the Ground
Music Review: I hope he got that out of his system.
Rating: 2 Stars
As a gifted musician, Chris Thile is one of those rare, incredible players that come along once or twice in a lifetime.
While I understand the need to move along, to grow as a musician, I found this CD to be a disappointment in general, with just a few bright moments.
As someone who owns almost all of Chris's discography, I was looking forward to hearing what he was up to these days. Cut after cut, I waited to hear the inspired, incredibly deep talent I've come to know and love... from as far back as his very first CD. But, he never really appeared.
If you're thinking about buying this as your first exposure to Chris... do yourself a favor and don't. Instead, pick up "Not All Who Wander Are Lost", or "Stealing Second". Both are infinitely better than this, a lackluster effort at best.
Description of How to Grow a Woman from the Ground
What goes around, comes around. As the resident rock star in Nickel Creek (contrasting with the trio's more reserved Watkins siblings), mandolinist Chris Thile has sent his music soaring in surprising directions from its bluegrass base. Though this solo release finds him dipping into the songbooks of the White Stripes ("Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground") and the Strokes ("Heart in a Cage"), much of the music sticks closer to tradition than Thile has in recent years. Among the highlights are an uptempo romp through Gillian Welch's "Wayside (Back in Time)," a pretty fair yodel on Jimmie Rodgers's "Brakeman's Blues," the close harmonies of the bluesy "If the Sea Was Whiskey," and Thile's original "You're an Angel and I'm Gonna Cry," classic country weeper. Five of the fourteen cuts are instrumental, with the opening "Watch 'at Breakdown" combining bluegrass instrumentation and jazzy sophistication, and "The Beekeeper" giving Thile's fingers a chance to fly. --Don McLeeseGeneral CDs
