Music reviews of Born Again in the USA
Music Review: Great little side project for Tweedy and Kotche
Rating: 4 Stars
This album is an album, not the noodling and sketches of greatness that could be that the first Loose Fur album was. Highlights are 'Hey Chicken', 'The Ruling Class', 'Apostolic', 'Thou Shalt Wilt', which sounds like Jim O'Rourke's take on a Schoolhouse Rock number(that's a compliment, really!), and the album closer, 'Wanted'. I like the cross between O'Rourke's folksy numbers and Tweedy's more straight ahead rock, even progressive sounding in 'Apostolic'. And I can't say enough about Glenn Kotche, other than he's a percussion genius. The one exception is 'The Ruling Class', which I think should have been on a Wilco effort, EXCELLENT SONG FOLKS!! Buy it...Enjoy it....Love it!!!
Description of Born Again in the USA
The second album by this Wilco side project has a nicely resilient band quality to it. Originally seen as Jeff Tweedy's noisier outlet, it's arguably as tuneful as his main band's most recent releases. A trio with Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche and producer/utility player/solo artist Jim O'Rourke, most of the songs are clearly the result of group interplay. However, it's the finishing touches, from arrangement flourishes to lyrics, that make them rise about hipster jamming. And just when you thought every cool guitar riff has already been discovered, the set starts off with a bang as "Hey Chicken" lets loose with a dazzler. There follows everything from an easy country groove ("The Ruling Class") to power pop ("Stupid As the Sun") and beautifully fragile balladry ("Answers to Your Questions"), to plenty more smart and mammoth guitar sounds. --David GreenbergerGeneral CDs
