Music reviews of Got No Strings (Dig)
Music Review: Definitely Not Just For Kids
Rating: 5 Stars
Ya gotta admire and respect Michelle Shocked for making her music her way (even when you might not "get" what she's trying to do). She never compromises her art, even if compromising might give her a bit more popularity. So this album is pure joy: you can tell she did exactly what she wanted to do -- and the result is charming and delightful and accessible. Who else would have thought of doing a full country-swing album of classic Disney songs? And who else could have pulled it off? Answer: No one but Michelle Shocked.
For me, the only disappointing track is "Spoonful of Sugar." For some reason, it sounds a bit depressing to me. Was that supposed to be irony?
"To Be A Cat" (from THE ARISTOCATS) is my favorite track, although I must admit the song never struck me as one of the "classic" Disney songs. Shocked makes it so clever and sophisticated and irresistably swingin' that I wonder why I never paid much attention to it before.
Don't think the album is "just for kids." I know this middle-aged grump will be listening to it for a long time.
Description of Got No Strings (Dig)
The Most Kid-Friendly Of Michelle Shocked'S Three Simultaneous June 2005 Releases, Got No Strings Brings The Spirit Of Swing--From Western To Supper-Club--To A Collection Of Disney Soundtrack Tunes. The Steel Guitar Of Greg Leisz Helps Transform The Familiar "A Dream Is A Wish" Into A Honky-Tonk Waltz, Until The Sprightly Fiddle Of Gabe Witcher Takes A Break That Recalls The 1930S' Hot Club Of France. Shocked Imbues "When You Wish Upon A Star" With A Breathy Sophistication, Gives "Spoonful Of Sugar" A Bluesy Tinge, And Has Never Sounded More Tender Than She Does On The Lullaby "Baby Mine." Producer/Guitarist Nick Forster Of Hot Rize And Band Provide Sprightly Support Throughout. From The Hipster Scat Of "To Be A Cat" To The Concluding Yodel Of "Spoonful Of Sugar," Shocked And Her Musicians Sound Like They'Re Having Fun. --Don Mcleese Recommended Michelle Shocked Discography Texas Campfire Tapes Short Sharp Shocked Captain Swing Arkansas Traveler Kind Hearted Woman Deep NaturalAlternative Rock CDs
