Gravitational Forces Music Review

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Classic REK
This cd is classic REK music, similar to the best of his days with the Sugar Hill label. To my ears it is more listenable than "Walking Distance" although the title track is a little strange even for REK. One that will definitely be in my top ten for 2001.

Robert Earl Keen Gringo Honeymoon CD (1994)

Gravitational Forces

$15.05

Framed by smooth production and tasteful instrumentation, Robert Earl Keen, Jr. hands over ten more tunes on this 1994 release. Gringo Honeymoon is more lively and immediately likeable than previous efforts and is comprised of all Keen originals, save Steve Earle's "Tom Ames' Prayer." Keen transports the listener to Texas with his stories and the overall tone of the record. But it's not big-hair Dallas that calls, it are the back roads and small towns that form the landscape. From the toe-tapping shuffle of "Think It Over One Time" to the sweeping grandeur of "Lonely Feeling" to the eye-winking swing of "Barbeque," Keen paints the scenes one by one. With the sly humor of "Merry Christmas From the Family," he sketches, in great detail, a ...

Keen is often compared to (and found in the company of) Lyle Lovett, another country-rooted iconoclast with a good sense of humor. That's pretty much were the similarities ...

Guy Clark Dark CD (2002)

Gravitational Forces

$14.89

Clark's easygoing, front-porch delivery benefits from the intimate setting provided throughout The Dark. With plenty of space around the instruments and no production clutter in the way, the essence of each song conveys clearly as well. Surprises are few, and perhaps the least-surprising aspect of this set is that it is as well-crafted as one has a right to expect from Clark. (Only one track, by Townes Van Zandt, is a cover.) Subjects range from the historical, in the gruesome yet stoic "Soldier's Joy, 1864," to reflections on more modern tragedies; in the spoken verses and weary-sung choruses of "Homeless," Clark captures the fatalism of living on ...

John Prine Fair & Square CD (2005) Bonus Tracks

Gravitational Forces

$13.35

FAIR & SQUARE's release was highly anticipated by John Prine fans, as the veteran singer/songwriter hadn't recorded an album of new songs in 10 years (the preceding IN SPITE OF OURSELVES was mostly cover tunes). Happily for both Prine and his contingent, FAIR & SQUARE represents that most coveted of phenomena, the Return to Form. Though 1995's LOST DOGS & MIXED BLESSINGS was not without its virtues, some tracks were marred by overproduction. Here, though, the arrangements are scaled back down to Prine's comfort zone, ...

Robert Earl Keen What I Really Mean CD (2005)

Gravitational Forces

$11.79

There's a surprisingly inventive production aesthetic at work here, too. In among the expected alt-country and roots-rock templates, there are such unexpected textures as the lilting soprano sax that mingles with nimble banjo picking on the title track, and the blend of Northumbrian pipes and percussive syncopation on "The Traveling Storm." Both musically and lyrically, Keen keeps his audience on its toes throughout WHAT I REALLY MEAN, taking left turns at every available opportunity. The godfather of ...

BlueRidge Common Ground CD (1999)

Gravitational Forces

$12.39

All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. Back in the 1970s and '80s, "progressive" bluegrass more often than not meant three things: an electric bass, lots of melodic Trischka/Keith-style banjo, and cover versions of rock & roll songs like "Lay Down ...
