The second and, tragically, final album Richard & Mimi Farina made together (a posthumous collection of rarities notwithstanding) finds the husband-and-wife duo venturing further towards a slightly electrified folk-rock sound. This was right around the time of Dylan's infamous Newport electric debut, so the very presence of electric rock musicians on REFLECTIONS IN A CRYSTAL WIND is fairly radical for an ostensibly folk-oriented group.
It's shame the Farinas didn't get to continue their work; in addition to the music's pointed attack, Richard's lyrics--already poetically trenchant--were becoming even more cutting in their sociopolitical criticism. He was also becoming adept at mixing sarcastic humor with serious poetic statements, and here the music ably blends folk, rock, and even various strains of what would now be called "world music." Though Richard would die in a motorcycle accident months after this record's release, his legacy--which also included the seminal post-Beat novel BEEN DOWN SO LONG IT LOOKS LIKE UP TO ME--still looms large.

Doyle Bramhall began his music career on Fitchburg Street in Dallas, and on his album of the same name he applies a healthy slathering of Texas style to some rock, blues, and soul songs from his youth (and one of his own creations). It's a recipe for a raw, messy, and delicious delight for fans of rough-and-tumble bar band blues. Bramhall's style of Texas blues sounds a lot like Stevie Ray Vaughan, and with good reason: Bramhall influenced the Vaughan style, having co-wrote some of Vaughan's hits, including "Life by the Drop." While Vaughan played it as a soul-wrenching acoustic number on the posthumous The Sky Is Crying, Bramhall picks up the pace to make it a full-throttle rocker. Bramhall's voice is even reminiscent of Vaughan's on many tracks. His vocals are a joyful noise -- what he lacks in talent he makes up for with feeling. He sings with so much enthusiasm on "I'd Rather Be (Blind, Crippled & Crazy)" that you can't help but want to sing along. As befits a Texas blues album, each song features excellent guitar work, and the star guitar belongs to Bramhall's son, Doyle Bramhall II. Doyle the younger plays a mean rhythm guitar and his tone often sounds stolen directly from Vaughan. His shuffle playing on John Lee Hooker's "Dimples" is a dead ringer for Vaughan, while his interpretation of the Band of Gypsies' "Changes" shows that he has some imagination and style of his own. Bramhall's son plays on four tracks, and they shine the most, although the other guitarists and numerous musicians ...
