KIMBROUGH, WENDELL – “THINGS THAT CAN’T BE TAUGHT” – SIMPLE, MODERN-DAY FOLK SONGS. STORY-TELLING MUSIC. SOMEWHAT DEPRESSING, BUT A FEW GLIMPSES OF POSSIBLE FUTURE JOY. PRETTY GUITAR, IN SPITE OF SAD SPIRIT. REMINISCENT OF PAUL MCCARTNEY.
– SUNSHINE, SEPTEMBER 2012

1) “WHEN I WORK ALONE” – PENSIVELY BUSY, WHILE INTROSPECTIVE. MOODY. CHAOTIC MIX OF FEELINGS, EXPRESSED THROUGH INSTRUMENTAL AVENUES. THEN, FOLKSY VOCALS EXPLAIN THE SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY. (4:48)
2) “LONESOME BLUES AND LOVE” – ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE PAUL MCCARTNEY SING-SONGY. RATHER LA-LA. (5:00)
3) “TWO WAYS TO BE WORTHLESS” -- SLOW, EMOTIONAL TREK ABOUT HITTING ROCK BOTTOM. FOLK SONG OF THE OPPRESSED. MODERN COUNTRY. (4:20)
4) “THE ROBIN’S NEST" -- SOLEMN STRINGS. TOTALLY DEPRESSED WITH A GLIMMER OF FUTURE HAPPINESS – MAYBE. (4:14)
5) “THE DEATH OF DEATH” – IRONICALLY, THE MOST UPBEAT, EVEN THOUGH SUICIDE ESSENTIALLY IS THE TOPIC. ODDLY, IT’S MY FAVORITE TRACK. (4:48)
6) “HOME” -- ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A CIGARETTE OR VIAGRA COMMERCIAL SOUNDTRACK. PIANO AND SOLITARY VOCALS. MIXED UP DUDE GETS HELP FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS. (4:43)
7) “COMMUNICATION” -- COUNTRIFIED, UPBEAT DITTY. CLARINET. LOVE LAMENT, BUT READY TO GO OUT AND HIT THE TOWN ANYWAY. (3:26)
8) “THE LONGEST MONTH” – SLOW, PLODDING WINTER EMOTIONAL LOVE LAMENT. BUT, THEN SPRING SEEMS TO APPEAR IN A HAPPY SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY. ABOUT A FEBRUARY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. (4:13)
9) “LITTLE BIRDS” -- PRETTY ACOUSTIC GUITAR. WOEFUL LYRICS. (3:21)
10) “THINGS THAT CAN’T BE TAUGHT” – ACOUSTIC GUITAR. STORY-TELLING FOLKSY PHILOSOPHICAL LAMENT. (4:19)
