Music reviews of Drive-In Movie

Music Review: A Great Album For Getting Acquainted With Fred
Rating: 5 Stars

All of the 11 songs on this album rank among Fred's best. I do not exaggerate. My own introduction to Fred Eaglesmith came only 5 weeks ago when at a Kasey Chambers concert Kasey raved on and on about Fred and how she strived to be like him in her approach to songwriting. All of that was as an introduction to her version of Fred's "Water in the Fuel" from Lipstick Lies and Gasoline". Kasey Chambers also covers "Freight Train" found on this album. Both of her covers reveal Fred Eaglesmith's brilliance as a songwriter.

So based on that endorsement I figured it was high time to check out the source of these two great songs. So I picked up "Lipstick Lies and Gasoline" and was blown away by the intensity of the experience. So then I picked up a copy of "Drive In Movie". Wow! To make a long story short, I was impressed enough to seek out the rest of Fred's catalog of 14 or 15 albums and have gone to see him play live - and will go again soon. I can see why there are Fredheads. I might be one now. Nearly every song on "Drive-In Movie" still remain as favorites in Fred's live performances. This is an album of fully realized masterpieces. The music might be described as a blend of all that is good in folk, country and rock. The lyrics are simply amazing and Fred's voice is perfectly suited for delivering the words and the accompanying emotion.

So buy this album and be hooked - guaranteed! Then see his web site for a tour schedule and you're on your way.

Description of Drive-In Movie

"Drive-In Movie" is the folk/alternative country album from Canadian-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith. This effort earned Eaglesmith Canada's prestigious Juno Award--the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy Award--in 1996 for "Best Roots & Traditional Solo Album." The songs on this, his seventh, album reveal Eaglesmith at his edgy best, with stories that leave you with a wry smile of recognition, nostalgia or dark humor.
Fred Eaglesmith isn't exactly a country singer. Perhaps what this raspy-voiced Canadian troubadour has perfected is best described as North Country music. Owing something to Steve Earle's feistiness, John Prine's working-class song craft, and, as he develops in the studio, Tom Waits's musical dissonance, Eaglesmith creates music that's ultimately reflective of his background. One of nine kids, he grew up on a farm in southern Ontario, left home at 15 when his parents lost their spread, and has been making music ever since. There's a palpable tension to his best songs. "You like to talk about honesty / Like you just invented the word / Till all your silly lies / Are left spilling from your eyes," he snarls in "Crashin' and Burnin'." "Everywhere you go there's a train wreck, baby," he gripes in "49 Tons," one of three train songs in this 11-track set. Eaglesmith, however, isn't soothed or made wistful by the notion of a freight crossing the plains. Rather, it's the fire and heat of the engine that spark his imagination. --Steven Stolder
