Crowell, Rodney “Close Ties” Label: New West Records Joseph Reviewed 5/1/17 Great songwriting, typical of Rodney Crowell, continues with this latest release. Themes: forgiveness, aging, changes. Great music & superior writing. Some orchestration on certain tracks. 1 – (3:37) East Houston Blues* Gritty opener, mid, featuring Tommy Emmanuel on guitar. 2 – (3:30) Reckless* Haunting, dark love appeal, slow-mid-tempo, excellent. 3 – (4:11) Life Without Susanna* Rocker, tribute to Guy Clark’s late wife. 4 – (5:14) It Ain’t Over Yet* Mid-tempo reflection on aging. FCC: “shit.” 5 – (4:28) I Don’t Care Anymore* Confessional, mid-up-tempo, great. FCC: “shit.” 6 – (3:59) I’m Tied To Ya’* Moody mid tune featuring Sheryl Crow. 7 – (4:10) Forgive Me Annabelle* Sad song of apology for breakup. 8 – (5:59) Forty Miles From Nowhere* Pretty mid tune of home, tranquility, serenity. 9 – (4:37) Storm Warning* Mid-tempo rocker, title says it all. 10 – (3:54) Nashville 1972* Terrific reflection on long-ago Nashville. FCC: “shitty.” | ||
