详细介绍:
Much will be made of Wilco recording a country album. Frontman Jeff Tweedy has said that country music is simply designed to aim squarely at the low-hanging fruit of the truth—but that%27s an idealistic vision that isn%27t always true anymore. It%27s more that the genre understands universality, creating a fantasy of what love should be, of revenge, of a simpler life and time to enjoy it (even if it%27s just long enough for a cold beer). Or, too often, the truth is little more than a furrowed eyebrow sighing for three minutes over something truly horrible in the world. Thank goodness Wilco doesn%27t seem to know this. This record is brutally, beautifully honest. I don%27t mind/ When certain people die/ I can%27t cry/ I wonder why, Tweedy sings on the lazily dreamy Hearts Hard to Find, confessing something no one is supposed to say out loud. It%27s worse than neglected when you need the one who loves no more, he describes Southern border migration on I Am My Mother. There is no middle/ When the other side would rather kill than compromise, goes Hints, an easy connect-the-dots to Mermaid Avenue, the band%27s Woody Guthrie project with Billy Bragg—and it doesn%27t get more authentically American or country than Guthrie (even if the genre remains sheepish about Guthrie%27s socialism). Wilco%27s music has always had trace elements of the Grateful Dead—which is, as Margo Price brilliantly put it, country music for people who also like LSD. (In the case of Wilco, it%27s probably more like Dad Grass.) You can hear it on the title track with its loose and jangling beat, or the sweet and easy skiffle of All Across the World. Many Worlds, meanwhile, is a seven-minute-long countrified trip that deserves its own laser show. (When I look at the sky/ I think of all the stars that%27ve died, Tweedy sings, securing his place as the alt-rock Eeyore.) And when the band doubles down on country sounds, it%27s a delight. A Lifetime to Find is great, an upbeat honky-tonk exchange between a mortal and the grim reaper: Oh Death, oh Death/ I was just getting dressed/ The place is a mess/ I was hoping you%27d forget is answered with Oh yes, oh yes/ Death never rests! Falling Apart (Right Now) is extra twangy, delving deep into the canyons; Ambulance flirts with delicate fingerpicking; Please Be Wrong has an early %2760s standard feel akin to Willie Nelson%27s Hello Walls. There are lovely surprises, like the somber horns of Darkness Is Cheap (cribbing from Dickens%27 A Christmas Carol: Darkness is cheap, and so Scrooge liked it.) And the lightly racing Bird Without a Tail / Base of My Skull features word-play lyrics like the lullaby Hush, Little Baby, each line riffing off the previous: When the sky began to roar like a lion at my door/ When my door began to crack it%27s like a stick across my back/ When my back began to smart, was a pen knife in my heart. © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz
