Music reviews of Wide Swing Tremolo
Music Review: Jay moves torwards Okemah
Rating: 5 Stars
This is my favorite album of the first three done by Son Volt. It moves a little further away from the "country alternative" and towards the rock of Okemah and the Melody Riot (which is Jay's greatest album). "Driving The View" is one of Son Volt's best songs. Jay's lyrics and singing relates an eerie beauty that is hard to describe in words, it is more of a mood than a sound. Like all Son Volt albums, I suggest repeated listenings before coming to a decision on the album. Son Volt records tend to grow on you, while at the same time, revealing nuances each time you listen. I like this album a lot.
Description of Wide Swing Tremolo
Son Volt's weary music, especially the deliberate voice and words of frontman Jay Farrar, is a comforting mystery; its suggestive flashes of phrase and image seem every bit as wise as they are inscrutable. On Wide Swing Tremolo, the band's third effort, the band's trademark blend of brooding guitar rock and atmospheric pedal steel is subtly touched up with dissonant harmonica, distorted vocals, and uncharacteristically loping rhythms. At its best, as on the dread fortune-telling of "Medicine Hat," the pulsing sound and dense lyrics reveal a kind of portentous mystery. Farrar obviously labors over his complex and poetic lyrics, but his idiosyncratic phrasing and slurred delivery (although always emotionally affecting) already slightly obscure his messages. Why he would choose to bury what wisdom he has to share in such a thick, unenlightening mix, remains a mystery of a much more infuriating sort. --David CantwellGeneral CDs
