Music reviews of Falling Stars & Broken Hearts
Music Review: Essential Country Roll
Rating: 4 Stars
Fred Eaglesmith is developing one of the most interesting body of works in the fringe country area. From Canada, he rocks like Texas. Delbert McClinton and Joe Ely are musical soulmates in this lunar landscape of falling stars and broken hearts. The top track is classic Fred, as good as "I Like Trains" or "105." Fred starts by downing a preacher's good intentions, a girlfriend's attentions and rocks out "I Ain't Ever Givin' In," and then moans, "anytime soon." Washboard percussion and keyboards that squeak like something from the Outer Limits sound off as Fred sings, "What's a pretty girl like you doing without me?" on the second track. A start & stop tempo punctuates "Indian Motorcycles," "Moonlight over the water, shadows on the proches, sniffing down the alleyway..." "Sugarcane" is great swamp rock. On country weeper, "Ordinary Guy," Fred sings, "A plain old shirt & a plain old tie" about a girl that left the guy and winds up, "doesn't even look a tiny bit like me." "Cumberland County" is a great workingman ballad about a snow plow operator, "She said she was tired of the same old story, tired of the sparks against the snow." "Rev It Up" is a rock out rave while "Soft on My Shoulder" is a slow tune with great electric bass. Pedal steel croons on "Dancin' On the Bar," "I'm not as happy as you are; and I'm just trying to get through to tomorrow." The grass is always greener on the other side in "I Wanna Buy Your Truck," "I'm really stuck in this life of mine." "Cold War" is a folk samba with parades and heroes. "Your Sister Cried" is a graceful stately homespun lament. "Marrianne," the hidden track, is way cool. Fred's world is the workingman's country. He rocks and moans on this outstanding collection.
