Music reviews of Faithless Street
Music Review: Still crazy after all these years
Rating: 5 Stars
It's hard to believe this one is more than a decade old now. However, it's such a timeless record that its age doesn't even seem to matter. The 1990s saw the burgeoning "No Depression" sound grow into a full-fledged subgenre, but it's unclear whether these artists shared anything more than a common set of influences. Whether or not Ryan Adams and crew ever listened to Uncle Tupelo's first album (the origin of the "No Depression" term), what they created here ranks with that material as raw, honest Americana rock n roll. I still think this material and the two follow-up efforts top the majority of Adams's solo work in terms of songwriting and overall approach. Whereas some of Adams's more confessional-sounding solo material seems a little forced to me, the songs on this album flow naturally and legitimately strike a chord. Rather than doing any sort of song-by-song dissection (they're all great) I am going to urge anyone who stumbles on this review to go track down this lost classic.
Description of Faithless Street
Here is how the first album from this alt-country-flavored Raleigh, North Carolina, band was always supposed to sound. When Faithless Street was released on the indie Mood Food label, it suffered from an inferior mix and other enforced choices that frontman Ryan Adams and producers Chris Stamey and Tim Harper have successfully corrected. The result is restored and remastered versions of the original songs where the shining country soul, romantic heart, and rebel spirit of Adams's songwriting infuse every track. Among the nine bonus songs are earlier, arguably superior versions of Strangers Almanac standouts, including the exquisite "Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart Tonight" and "16 Days" as well as violinist Caitlin Cary's vocal turn on "Matrimony." There are many other gems on this remarkable debut album by an uncommonly talented songwriter and his band. --John Sutton-SmithGeneral CDs
