Right next door to Lambchop and down the street from Vic Chesnutt you'll find the beautiful and delicate music of Drunk. Rather than sing along with it, or bop your head to it, you'll find that the band's languid, dreamy sound invites immersion. Although they are a sextet (Three guitarists! Count 'em! Three!), Drunk perform with such wonderful restraint and understatement that the intimacy of their music is never lost. Chief Drunkard Rick Alverson's thin plaintive tenor barely whispers out the melancholy tunes. Accordion, harmonica and little-bitty Casios wheeze out tender and pensive melodies. It's the perfect soundtrack for an endless, rainy afternoon.

| | Annie Haslam Live Under Brazilian Skies CD (1998)
Raised Toward songs
$16.09 
This album is both an Annie Haslam solo career and Renaissance-lite presentation. Haslam finds a balance between the two sides of her repertory, and even introduces one pleasant if not earth-shaking song, "Brazilian Skies," written for the occasion of the concerts where this album was recorded. There's a fair amount of material here associated with her '80s and '90s career, most notably "Moonlight Shadow," and the album reaches out to some other sources as well, including a pair of sentimental favorites of hers, the '50s standard "Nature Boy" and Rodgers & Hammerstein's "If I Loved You" from Carousel, and Yes' "Turn of the Century" (from Going for the One), and she doesn't sell any of that material short. The most solid and consistent body of music here, however, consists of the Dunford/Thatcher copyrights and other songs associated with Renaissance. With David A. Biglin handling all of the instrumental chores (mostly piano, which he plays very elegantly, and acoustic guitar) and backing vocals, the music has a lean, almost airy texture that gives Haslam's singing even greater presence here than it had on the original recordings. That's not a bad thing, and on "The Young Prince and Princess," she practically wears the song like a second skin; one easily forgets that the words and music are not hers. Of Haslam's recent repertory, "Moonlight Shadow" comes off as an "unplugged" number compared with its studio original, which brings delightful exposure to Haslam's richly intoned and beautifully emotive singing (though this version bears about the same relationship to the studio original that Eric Clapton's acoustic version of "Layla" does to the Derek & the Dominos original). By contrast, "Blessing in Disguise," fromHaslam's 1995 solo album, doesn't work quite as well, despite the reflective tone of this performance, which gives it a startling intimacy. In addition to "After the Oceans Are Gone" from the same album (which has more of a beat than almost anything else on this CD), Haslam also introduced two more original songs here, "Summon the Angels" and "Seashell Eyes," both of which are worth hearing. The former, featuring ...
