Thirty seconds into "I Love You," the first track off of Shine, Daniel Lanois' warm, watery guitar signature is already unmistakable, even before his voice entwines ecstatically with Emmylou Harris'. Shine is the third Lanois album to appear under his own name, and his first in a decade. What is immediately startling about Shine is how spare it is. There is a plethora of sounds and textures to be sure, but they are suspended in space, looking not outside to communicate but toward the heart as a mirror, as if to make certain that the music played is not necessarily accurate but is true. Folk, country, blues, psychedelia, and atmosphere are wound together into an inseparable knot. Lanois played almost all of the instruments here, with the exception of drums, handled by Brian Blade and occasionally his brother, Brady. Other musicians, such as longtime musical collaborator Malcolm Burn and bassist Darryl Johnson, make appearances. Beginning with "I Love You," with its acceptance and pleading need (lent great credence by Harris' singing) and on into "Falling at Your Feet," a duet co-written with U2's Bono during the All That You Can't Leave Behind sessions, to the third track, "As Tears Go By," with a sampled guitar line by blues guitar legend Charley Patton, it is clear that Lanois is writing from a place more vulnerable, more spiritually conscious, and yet more strident than ever before. Where Acadie was full of warmth and intimacy, it felt like a collection of songs that had been assembled from many sessions. For the Beauty of Wynona, with all of its experimentation and poetic songwriting, was a far more unified project, but it was reliant on its wide-ranging sonic attack to support those adventurous words and melodies. Here, everything is balanced; the scope is small, close, and textured by pedal steel guitars, very organic percussion, and Lanois' voice way up front. On the instrumentals, such as "Transmitter," "Matador," "Space Kay," and the closer, "JJ Leaves La," the same whispering feel is evident. The songs on Shine feel like confessions, prayers even, not only to a superior being, but to lovers, full of brokenness and the willingness to learn and heal; they are wrapped in the soil of North America, from Montreal to Mexico; they feel rooted in not only the earth, but in spirituality and a willingness to open to the forces of the heart itself. The instrumentals create a sense of movement through time and space to anchor the intent of the vocal tracks. His instincts are nearly perfect: When the weight of a particular series of songs begins to move the listener too far in one direction, an instrumental or two appears, allowing one to drift in its ambience for a short time. After a pair of instrumentals ("Matador" and "Space Kay"), "Slow Giving" and "Fire" are hymns to unseen angels who may indeed represent living characters or those who've passed after imparting some gift. Clearly Lanois' protagonist relies on them heavily in the dark times with a lyricism that is sophisticated, literate, poetic, and soulful. That's a rare combination. The album closes with the pedal steel tune "JJ Leaves LA." The steel guitar was Lanois' first instrument, and its gentility and sweetness are tempered only by its pervasive melancholy, leaving the listener with a sense of bittersweet longing and a sense that some kind of story has been told, a series of snapshots have been shown that reveal something, postcards have been sent and arrived unexpectedly, and the only way to unravel the mystery is play the record again. ~ Thom Jurek
Coming a full 10 years after Daniel Lanois' last solo album, SHINE in many ways picRolling Stone (5/1/03, p.52) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...SHINE has more than Lanois' famous polish; it achieves a real quiet beauty..."
Entertainment Weekly (5/2/03, p.71) - "...Over languid guitar, his shy, dusty vocals wander in search of love..." - Rating: B
Uncut (5/03, p.102) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...There are a handful of stunning instrumentals, but the revelations here are Lanois' singing and songwriting..."
Magnet (4/03, p.96) - "...The obviously gifted Lanois proves extremely proficient: as musician, singer and sonic architect..."
CMJ (03/31/03, p.8) - "...Soaked in subtle whispers of his past production accomplishments....SHINE exhumes an almost forgotten blues, folk and gospel presence that sounds like a faint masterpiece bleeding through the wall..."
Mojo (Publisher) (4/03, p.108) - 3 stars out of 4 - "...Throughout, he sings intimately, no grand delusions....SHINE is an intriguing portrait of a civilised chap in turmoil..."

Them Wranch Medium Rare CD  (2001)

Shine
CD $7.29  Audio Samples
The dirty face of rock has brushed the crust from its eyes and Them Wranch want to play it for you, your sweetheart, and all your friends. Let it be said that much in the way of way out sound is where Them Wranch take you. You might make some reference to this or that; such as the band's love of psychedelia, soul, blues, country, and their dedication to all sounds primitive and groove oriented. But then you would be spending too much time on the subject and not enough time moving, dancing, or fucking to Them Wranch.I mean that's what Them Wranch is all about, right? It's not about slamming into your neighbor and pushin' 'em down. It's about sliding next to 'em and holdin' 'em up, real close. If you're one of the lucky ones to catch Them Wranch live you know what I mean. If you're not one of the lucky ones then listening to the disc you have now will take you there. Listening to this disc is like walking down the street, coming to the bar door and goin' inside as Them Wranch fires it up. It's like bein' there without leaving your living room. And we know how you all love to live in that room. Some of the tunes on this record may make you feel like you're gettin' real close as you slink your way into the sweaty crowd. Other tunes will make you feel like you're sittin' in a dark corner booth with one you love or one you hope to love. Yet, other tunes will make you feel like you're lucky enough to take that special person home for the night. Once you get them home it's up to you, but Them Wranch may be able to help you out. If you slip this disc on there are tunes for foreplay, play, and cuddling.Them Wranch consists of Andy Ranch (singing and guitar), Gerry Morrison (bass and singing), and 1/2 of the defunct Hairy Patt Band, Joe Patt (singing and drumming). Gigging locally, regionally, and releasing several 7"s since 1996 Them Wranch released their first full length "Big Noise From East Maynard" in 2000 and went nationwide. The band has toured the country several times on their own and with England's extraordinary Country Teasers. After rejecting offers and huge sums of money from hundreds of record labels the boys decide to go with Orange Recordings for the release of their second and current full length, "Medium Rare" . The deal with Orange was clinched when Them Wranch rolled into San Diego strung out from the road and were treated like kings to beer and fish tacos by Ron Sievers, Orange president and founder.If "Big Noise From East Maynard" was a sonic testament to life in Columbus, Ohio then "Medium Rare" is the sound of years of musical inbreeding giving birth to a bastard that's so beautiful it's ugly. We don't need to ...
