The BoDeans - Still Review
But fear not, this album also contains a song that is bound to get you moving. "Lucille" has a big sound with great rhythm and a twangy guitar. If this song doesn't make you want to shake what your mama gave you, check your vital signs. This album has a couple other songs ("The First Time" and "Waste a Lifetime") that are bound to get lodged in the old coconut. The organ in "The First Time" reminds me a bit of The Band. Don't be surprised if you find yourself singing or humming this tune throughout the course of your day.
Overall, this album, produced by T-Bone Burnett is just a clinic in good songwriting. The lyrics and the music are all incredibly well done. I'd like to say that this is a great album to listen to if you're experiencing writer's block. And it is. I'd like to think that a blocked songwriter could get some inspiration from this album. That is not to say that this album is only for someone who is stuck trying to write a song. This is just a great flipping album. Period. If you enjoy well-crafted, complex, and catchy Americana music, you should dig this one.
