Music reviews of Milly's Cafe

Music Review: Fredheads Rejoice: "Milly's Cafe" is Vintage Eaglesmith
Rating: 5 Stars

I'm fresh from a live Fred Eaglesmith concert in Goshen, IN and was lucky enough to snag a copy of Fred's newest album, "Milly's Cafe," which was released less than a week ago. Fred has always been sort of a musical enigma - he's a Canadian "liberal who hates liberals," a singer-songwriter who sings songs about trucks, cowboys, liquor, and guns better than people who truly hail from Texarcana. Musically, he's always followed his muse: his albums have varied from alt-country to pure country, bluegrass to billhilly, acoustic folk to folk rock. His sound, and his band, can vary from one album to the next, and that's okay from his small but devoted fanbase, known affectionately as "Fredheads."

"Milly's Cafe" is in this case vintage Fred, relying on long-time collaborator and friend Willie P. Bennett, the one constant from Fred's early days with the Flying Squirrels. Here, the sound is pure alt-country, relying on a small ensemble of electric and acoustic instruments and especially Bennett's electric mandolin and harmonica. The overall feel is mellower than the hard-rocking "50-Odd Dollars"; Fred's songwriting more often than not emotes elements of hardship, loss, and aging. "Rocky" takes the form of a letter from one aging cowboy to another dying of cancer in Albuquerque. It's companion song, "Tired", is another wonderful minor key cowboy ballad, while the title cut tells the story of failed diner-owners-turned-outlaws. "18 Wheels" should go down as one of Fred's best trucking songs to date.

Fans of "Balin'" may be disappointed with the lack of banjo, but Fred fans who have heard the gamut of his works should rejoice: "Milly's Cafe" will not disappoint, and this could be his best release since 1998's "drive-in movie."
