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) | ||
