Music reviews of Sweetheart of the Rodeo
Music Review: unremarkable
Rating: 2 Stars
Wish I could see what the others have in this. For a groups that got it right, I'd choose New Riders of the Purple Sage and Souther-Hillman-Furay [and some Grateful Dead]--which treated us to original compositions branded with distinctive sound and conviction. I hear beautiful harmonies and the masterful steel guitar of session man J.D. Maness on Sweetheart, otherwise nothing that most bar bands of the era could've done on songs that sound like B sides. The signature 12-string jangle that launched an era is gone, replaced by steel guitar on a set of primarily 40s-50s laid back honky-tonk and traditional, uncomplicated western songs [though the typical flat, country shout-hollerin' is replaced with MUCH better harmonies]. If this had been a first album from a no-name group, I'd conclude that they show promise and potential, but lack a distinctive style and passion. There IS an unbelievably well done Chuck Berry sound-alike song, but it seems sorely anachronistic on this album. Sorry, Byrdmaniacs.
Description of Sweetheart of the Rodeo
Millenium digipak edition, with original artwork and 8 previously unissued bonus tracks, 'You Got A Reputation', 'Lazy Days', 'Pretty Polly', 'The Christian Life' (rehearsal take #11), 'Life In Prison' (rehearsal take #11), 'You're Still On My Mind' (rehearsal take #43), 'One Hundred Years From Now' (rehearsal take #2) & 'All I Have Is Memories' (instrumental). 2001.After Chris Hillman dragged new friend Gram Parsons into the Byrds, they made an album as close to a country masterpiece as a rock act could ever make. In fact, the only tunes better than the definitive covers here of songs by Bob Dylan ("You Ain't Going Nowhere"), Guthrie ("Pretty Boy Floyd"), and the Louvin Brothers ("The Christian Life") are Parsons's originals, especially the incomparable "Hickory Wind." Sweetheart wasn't the first country-rock album, but with its gorgeous three-way harmonies and sweet pedal steel, it remains the best. --David Cantwell
