While Charlie Burton will be viewed by many as a country novelty singer-songwriter a la Mojo Nixon, the reality is another matter entirely. While Burton's ironic humor can be found in even the most poignant of his songs, his brand of lyrical wit is more cerebral and more of a style to be savored than Nixon's more guffaw-laden approach. This 14-track collection brings that particular point of difference between the two quite clearly to the fore. Burton's music dips heartily from the country and roots-rock gene pool and is played with ultimate sincerity and chops galore from band members Mark Korpi on guitar and producer David Sanger on drums. Local Austin, Texas hotshots like Lucky Oceans, Erik Hokkanen, Scott Walls, and Mary Cutrufello all make guest appearances, along with former Small Face Ian McLagan, who does some fine keyboard work on three tracks. Burton's lyrical approach is wide ranging bordering on free range on these vignettes, ranging from the whimsical ("She's Out My Hair [But Not Out of My Mind], "The Seeds That You Plant," "Resume'" and "Words Don't Mean Words") to the poignant ("On Call," "Embarrassment of Riches," "The Things I Wished I'd Said to You," "Dear Diary," and "Livin' on Borrowed Time [Livin' on Borrowed Money]") to the all too brutally real "Rogue Cop." Burton has come up with a real winner here, a singer-songwriter album that explores some well-worn themes without becoming a cliche in the process of telling the whole story. As a teller of the tale, Charlie Burton's a small treasure. ~ Cub Koda

Rustic Fixer Upper music CDs
$12.79 During his time with The Style Council, and indeed throughout his solo career, Paul Weller has struggled to reconcile his attraction to '60s soul music with the modernity expected of a pop icon of his stature. More often than not, he's chosen to dive straight into the past. With HEAVY SOUL, he manages to strike a perfect balance--or maybe it's just that the retro swing of the pop pendulum has made his anachronisms au courant.
With a booming rhythm section and thick guitar attack bolstering ...

Rustic Fixer Upper music CDs
$7.49 "Progressive" is a description that's thrown around far too liberally in rock & roll; saddled upon artists as dissimilar as Dream Theater, Phish, Isis, and Brian Eno at any given time, and all for simple lack of a better term. Perhaps "unconventional" would be a more ideal generalization, though, since, the one thing all these acts do have in common is the desire to reject mainstream music clichés and try to do things differently. In accordance with this line of reasoning, what qualifies Dutch band Textures as inherently unconventional is their staunch refusal to finish songs the way they started them -- never mind following pop music's typical verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus pattern in any way, shape or form. No chance of that here, for just as was it was with their outstanding debut, one could spend a lifetime dissecting every unexpected twist and turn coursing through the whole of album number two, ...
