Music reviews of Scar
Music Review: Exceeds expectations
Rating: 5 Stars
I purchased this album to hear Henry's take on Madonna's "Don't Tell Me, entitled "Stop" on this album! Not only was I blown away by his version, but the rest of the album had me absolutley captivated from start to finish! What a pity, then, that we know so little of Henry in Australia! Do yourself a favour and buy this album! You won't regret it!
Description of Scar
From roots rocker to songwriting impressionist to sonic adventurer, the musical progression of Joe Henry resists category and defies expectation. The album-opening "Richard Pryor Addresses a Tearful Nation" is Henry's most audacious move to date, as his smoky voice channels the comedian's tragic spirit while a saxophone break from free-jazz titan Ornette Coleman provides achingly poignant punctuation. The rest of the song cycle ranges from the sophisticated atmospherics of "Stop" (adapted by Henry's sister-in-law Madonna into her hit single, "Don't Tell Me") to the insistent funk of "Rough and Tumble." The production by Henry and Craig Street gives the music plenty of room to breathe, augmenting the organic interplay of guitarist Marc Ribot, pianist Brad Mehldau, and bassist Me'shell Ndegeocello with bittersweet string arrangements. Though there are echoes of Van Morrison in "Mean Flower" and the Band in "Cold Enough to Cross," Henry is less a classicist than a restless visionary. --Don McLeeseAlt-Country & Americana CDs
