Music reviews of Acoustic
Music Review: Music for a Lifetime
Rating: 5 Stars
This was my introduction to EBTG, so maybe I'm biased. But, I think this is the CD that gets to the core of what they are about. Many of their great songs are here, and offered up in such a relaxed and engaging way that its almost always right to listen to--except maybe when you just really gotta rock out.
Description of Acoustic
Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) pressing. Teichiku. 2008.Though they've worked with plenty of accompaniment, the heart of Everything but the Girl's music has always been simple: a voice (usually Tracy Thorn's), a simple melody, and enough emotion to keep Kleenex in business for decades. On Acoustic, Thorn and Ben Watt strip things down to the bone, and the starkness makes the music even more affecting than usual. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the material they've chosen to work with is pretty affecting to begin with. The five covers are fantastic (Mickey and Sylvia's "Love Is Strange," Bruce Springsteen's "Tougher Than the Rest," Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time," Elvis Costello's "Allison," and Tom Waits's "Downtown Train"), but the five originals, all of which appear on other EBTG albums, hold their own; and three of them--"Driving," "Apron Strings," and "Me and Bobby D"--do much more that that. --Randy Silver
Taking the unplugged route, this duo is a contemplative mood that will please fans alienated by the overproduced blue-eyed soul they've turned in on earlier releases. Here they augment an EP's worth of contemporary standards ("Time After Time. and "Alison., included) with spartan versions of their own superb originals. ".Easy listening with an edge. --Jeff Bateman
