The Rug * by Big Ass Truck (CD - 07/25/2005)
"The Rug *" (07/25/2005) Rock & Pop Big Ass Truck, Terminus RecordsBig Ass Truck includes: Robby Grant (vocals, guitar); Steve Selvidge (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Grayson Grant (acoustic & electric basses); Robert Barnett (drums, percussion); Colin Butler (programming, loops, turntables). Recorded at Easely-McCain Studios, Memphis, Tennessee. Proof positive that eclectically for its own sake is not necessarily a good thing, this Memphis-based quintet's experimental rock sound is difficult to pin down. Sure, the lineup may seem normal at first glance, with vocals, two guitars, bass, drums, and a fifth man handling loops, beats, and turntables. But Big Ass Truck's sound jumps around more than hyperactive kangaroos listening to House of Pain, making The Rug a largely hit-and-miss proposition. The opening track, "The Path," may have you ready to compare them to Medeski, Martin & Wood, but the tweaked-out jazz-pop of "The Wardrobe" is so damn jumbled, you'll start to second-guess your first impression. The piano-driven pop of "Locked In" may remind you of a less compositionally mature Ben Folds, but the hypnotic percussion, spaghetti western guitar, and children's chant of "The Me" sounds like nobody you've ever heard before. Ultimately, Big Ass Truck comes across as either a young band still in search of its own sound, or a frustrated one who've been through the industry ringer enough times to just have fun and not give a damn what critics think. Either way, it makes for a frustratingly erratic listen. ~ Bret Love

Christmas Songs [RCA] by Roger Whittaker (CD - 09/01/2003)
"Christmas Songs [RCA]" (09/01/2003) Rock & Pop Whittaker, Roger, RCA Victor Records (USA)Personnel: Roger Whittaker (vocals). A budget-priced collection of some holiday favorites -- including "The First Noel," "The Holly and the Ivy, " "Silent Night, " and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" -- The Christmas Song is an enjoyable album, yet the selection is a bit skimpy. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

too much love
"Too Much Love" (06/10/2005) Rock & Pop Harlan T Bobo, Goner RecordsHarlan T. Bobo: H.T.B. (vocals, guitar); Jeremy Scott (vocals, bass guitar); Brendan Spengler (organ); Shane Callaway (drums). Personnel: Harlan T. Bobo (vocals, guitar); Brendan Lee Spengler (organ). Recording information: Easley-McCain Studios, Memphis, TN (2003). On the surface, Harlan T. Bobo's Too Much Love could seem like just another breakup record, but once the music starts, it quickly transcends such labels. Ostensibly a record chronicling "the best and worst of loving Yvonne Bobo," Too Much Love is a breakup record whose musical tide mirrors the peaks and valleys of an emotional roller coaster. Cinematic and magical, opening track "Only Love" has a languid, nearly tropical sway that sounds like a clandestine jam session between David Lynch, Tim Burton/Danny Elfman, and Roy Orbison. Eerie and beautiful, the song is soft and sparse, but immediate and powerful. Nick Cave wishes his melancholy rang half as true as Bobo's. The simplest lines are often the sharpest. Bobo strikes a universal chord with the spoken intro of "Stop," declaring "I called you on the phone/Your roommate said you weren't at home/But I could hear you talking in the background." The album is populated with countless other lines that are equally heart-rending. He sings quietly, but with lyrics like this, there's no need to yell. Over the course of a few more songs, Bobo's hushed, talky vocal style begins to bring to mind Beck's softer moments. Unlike Beck, Bobo doesn't seem to get bogged down in self-conscious attempts to be an artfully eclectic hipster. An album highlight, the title track calls to mind a fiery, agitated take on American Music Club. Elsewhere, with dirty guitars, organ, and hoarse late-night vocals, "Mr. Last Week" rocks like something out of the Compulsive Gamblers' gritty back catalog (specifically "Mind in the Gutter"). Although there are plenty of musicians in the mix at any given moment, Too Much Love maintains an understated feel. The instruments and vocals all have plenty of breathing room. In an age when it's so easy, and often very tempting, to add endless layers, effects, and overdubs, Bobo's album sounds refreshingly easygoing and organic. Musically, the album is as thoughtful and nuanced as Bobo's lyrics. The ace musicianship is little surprise considering his group -- and guest musicians -- include current and former members of fine outfits such as Viva l'American Death Ray Music and the Reigning Sound. ~ Karen E. Graves

Heavier Things by John Mayer (Adult Alternative) (CD - 09/09/2003)
"Heavier Things" (09/09/2003) Rock & Pop Mayer, John (Adult Alternative), Aware/Columbia RecordsThis is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Personnel: John Mayer (vocals, guitar); Jerry Hay (trumpet); Steve Jordan , Ahmir Khalib Thompson, Steve Jordan (drums); Larry Castro, Lenny Castro (percussion); Michael Chaves (guitar); Greg Leisz (lap steel guitar); Dan Higgins (saxophone); Roy Hargrove (trumpet); Jamie Muhoberac (keyboards); J.J. Johnson , Matt Chamberlain (drums). Audio Mixer: Jack Joseph Puig. Recording information: Avatar Studios, New York, NY; Ocean Way, Hollywood, CA. Photographer: Danny Clinch. With the experience of a Grammy-winning, major-label debut under his belt and the requisite pop stardom that goes with it, John Mayer continues forging a steadily impressive musical canon with his third full-length outing, HEAVIER THINGS. Like the introspective musings of fellow, mellow pop singer-songwriters such as Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson, Mayer's songs delve into the subtleties of relationships and their accompanying navel-gazing. "Bigger Than My Body" finds him not only on a search for self, but sounding like Matthews with his hint of falsetto, as "Something's Missing" does much the same on a bed of swirling guitar and the occasionally chiming chord. As for the fairer sex, there's the requisite pleading found within the confines of the bluesy "Come Back to Bed," and the realization of loving someone with emotional baggage in "Daughters," which stems from childhood issues. All is not entirely dour, however, as this former Berkley School of Music student includes a pair of more up-tempo cuts--"Clarity," the hip-hop-brushed opener featuring jazz great Roy Hargrove and Roots drummer ?uestlove Thompson, and the hook-filled pop nugget "Only Heart." Packed with such emotional heft, it's no wonder John Mayer went with the title HEAVIER THINGS.

Baby I'm Bored by Evan Dando (CD - 04/22/2003)
"Baby I'm Bored" (04/22/2003) Rock & Pop Dando, Evan, Bar/NonePersonnel: Evan Dando (vocals, guitar, piano, Hammond B-3 organ, bass, drums, tambourine); Jon Brion (vocals, various instruments); Chris Brokaw (guitar, Hammond B-3 organ, drums, percussion); Howe Gelb (guitar, keyboards); Royston Langdon (piano, bass, background vocals); Joe Burns (bass, background vocals); John Convertino, Sim Cain (drums). Recorded at Sage & Sound, Los Angeles, California; Trout Studio, Brooklyn, New York; Wavelab, Tucson, Arizona. Personnel: Howe Gelb (vocals, guitar, electric guitar); Royston Langdon (vocals, guitar, piano, bass guitar); Joey Burns (vocals, double bass); Jon Brion (vocals); Brokaw (guitar); Bryce Goggin (piano); John Covertino, A.J. Johnson, Sim Cain (drums). Audio Mixer: Bryce Goggin. Recording information: Sage And Sound, Los Angeles, CA; Wavelab, Tuscon, AZ. Photographer: Elizabeth Moses. It's no coincidence that the cover art for BABY I'M BORED mimics that of the Lemonheads' punky debut, HATE YOUR FRIENDS. Coming after several years in the wilderness, Evan Dando's first album under his own name, and his first release of any kind since 1996's wildly uneven CAR BUTTON CLOTH, finds him looking for a new beginning. Dando doesn't, and maybe can't, duplicte the heart-on-sleeve, recreational drug charm of his 1992 classic, IT'S A SHAME ABOUT RAY, but BABY I'M BORED marks a return to the acoustic feel and cohesiveness of that album. For his fans, older and wiser like he is, it's a treat.

Quartets by Boxhead Ensemble (CD - 10/07/2003)
"Quartets" (10/07/2003) Rock & Pop Boxhead Ensemble, Atavistic RecordsBoxhead Ensemble: Michael Krassner, Jessica Billey, Michael Colligan, Ryan Hembrey, Glenn Kotche, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Scott Tuma. Recording information: Los Angeles, CA; Truckstop Audio Recording Company, Chicago, IL. The latest installment of Chicago's Boxhead Ensemble reveals a further evolution in its lineup. Michael Krassner and Fred Lonberg-Holm are still constants, but add to this mix Jessica Billey (Smog), Michael Colligan (Pillow), Ryan Hembrey (Edith Frost, ex-Pinetop Seven), Glenn Kotche (Wilco, Jim O'Rourke, Loose Fur), and Scott Tuma (Souled American), and the lineup dictates musically the manner in which the recording proceeds. Quartets is easily the quietest, most "narrative" statement on tape from the collective. Full of lilting strings, restrained tensions, and gradually developing dynamics, each of the seven selections, simply numbered instead of titled, offers a different shade of the graceful, slowly unfolding stringscapes where melodies enter via a side door and angular harmonics are smoothed out over intervals as gradually constructed as they are dissipated. This is poetic music -- soft, seemingly meandering, but nonetheless almost effortlessly revealing the deep emotional realities it invokes. But then, that isn't quite fair: the amount of discipline and control it takes to play music this restrained, music that allows its beauty to come out of a whispered articulation of phraseology and nuance, is far from effortless, and, if one would consult the late composer Morton Feldman, almost Herculean in intention and effort. Complete with two soundtrack sketches, Quartets is the finest, most focused, and elegantly realized Boxhead album yet. ~ Thom Jurek

13 Songs and a Thing by Bob Drake (CD - 05/18/2004)
"13 Songs and a Thing" (05/18/2004) Rock & Pop Drake, Bob, ReR USABob Drake had set the bar pretty high with his third solo album, the admirable Skull Mailbox (And Other Horrors). So it should not come as a surprise that 13 Songs and a Thing feels somewhat weaker, yet still makes a damn fine record of avant-garde progressive rock (or experimental rock or crack-pot rock songs from beyond the grave, whatever suits you better). This album is the close relative of Skull Mailbox. The booklet doesn't disclose information on how it was recorded, but it sure sounds like the decrepit barn used for the previous album. Add to that the same half-broken instruments and an extremely dynamic stereo mix. In general the lyrics are not as punchy and frightening, but they retain a strong element of strangeness and some songs (like "Griffin" and "Plinth Shriveller") could have been included on Skull Mailbox. Drake is still in full control of all aspects of the album, from playing all the instruments to creating the cover artwork. He has brought in a select number of friends to add specific instrumentation (organ, Mellotron on one track) and teamed up with Steve Courtright and Dick Verdult to write some of the lyrics. Each song is typically Drakesian: angular and sharp despite its country-like innocence, hiding its often naive simplicity under tons of warped arrangements that equally evoke avant-prog and a rehearsal for Saint-Saens' Le Carnaval des Animaux gone awfully wrong. "Ten for a Dime" and "Plinth Shriveller" stand out and will delight fans of early 5uu's. Among the songs, Drake has hidden a monster, "Building With Bones." The "thing" in the album's title; it consists of 13-minutes of the percussion ensemble from Hell. The infernal banging and clanging (how many tracks in there?) amounts to a loud drone that will destabilize many a listener. Is it an exercise in ironic self-indulgence or simply the result of creativity lacking imagination? One thing is sure, you couldn't attribute this CD to any other artist. ~ Fran?ois Couture
