| | Waylon Jennings Right For The Time CD Waylon Jennings Discography of CDs
Waylon's long, varied career has led him down so many rocky, reckless paths that he'd have to be either talentless or an idiot not to glean some wisdom from it. Being neither of those, he's got wisdom aplenty to dispense on RIGHT FOR THE TIME. The album avoids the missteps of some of its predecessors; the production is lean and basic, and there are no incongrous covers (Paul Simon's "The Boxer" turns out to be a Waylon natural). Jennings' husky baritone may sound a bit weathered, but his voice is still full of authority and purpose, communicating the lyrics effectively.
On such tunes as "Cactus Texas" and "The Most Sensible Thing," he looks back dolefully at his life's mistakes, but only to highlight the things that went right. The full-blooded honky-tonker "Hittin' the Bottle Again" is full of roadhouse vigor and fun, as is "Living Legends Pt. II," where Waylon takes a friendly, satirical poke at his fellow country singers. "Wastin' Time" is a highlight, and ranks among Jennings' best compositions. With an economy of words and a surplus of emotion, he looks at an irreconcilable relationship with stark pragmatism and bittersweet regret. It's one of those moments that makes it clear why Waylon's hung around so long.
Recorded at Woodland Studios, Nashville, Tennessee between January 26 & 31, 1996. Includes liner notes by Randall Jamail.

Q (8/96, p.121) - 3 Stars - Good "...RIGHT FOR THE TIME is unadorned, backing instruments no more emphatic than gravy....his storytelling instinct is unimpaired, in particular when he lets the inner curmudgeon loose on gleefully acidic unlove songs..."

Giants of Country Blues Guitar, Vol. 1 is a curious and fascinating collection of field recordings of Mississippi country blues guitarists done between 1967 and 1991, most of the selections recorded in the musicians' homes, which means there is a good deal of incidental background noise, including people talking and laughing, dogs barking, and a ...

Right For The Time album
$12.29
Suzy Bogguss issued her fine Swing album in 2003. Other than a Christmas recording -- why does every artist feel the need to issue one of those? -- she hasn't released anything in four years. She's toured hard, written songs, and spent her time and energy conceiving the provocative Sweet Danger. Bogguss may no longer be on the country charts, but perhaps with contemporary country's willingness to embrace other American popular song forms she may end up there yet again. For the listener, it doesn't matter. The reason is simply that Sweet Danger is the finest moment in a long career. Bogguss has undergone a metamorphosis as a musician. It's plainly obvious from the opening moments of the album's opening cut, "The Bus Ride." The big minor-key piano chords, hand percussion, and muted drum kit give way to a tasty acoustic guitar lead and it's all reminiscent of Steely Dan's "Do It Again." The similarity ends there in a sense, because when Bogguss opens her mouth and lets the story begin to fall from her, it's all her. But the music here owes more to jazz and samba than country -- no matter how hip and inclusive its industry says it is, stuff like this would terrify the production formula-obsessed producers in mainstream Nash Vegas. Her style is inimitable, no matter what she's singing. Unlike most vocalists these days, Bogguss is a singer and a stylist. She takes a lyric and makes it a scenario, a gauzy filmic episode. The shimmering finger-popping groove in "Everything" owes as much to Sergio Mendes as it does to Diane Warren; a button accordion accompanies a piano, acoustic guitars, and restrained but ever-present percussion, floating her tale of romantic ambivalence. Her lines alternate speaker to speaker; tag lines come from the ether. There are some curious selections here, such as a cover of Peter Cetera's ...
