10. Of Which There Is No Like

Mandolin Orange is a duo from North Carolina whose music is pretty much the definition of Americana. Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz play various stringed instruments perfectly, and they sing together like angels. Marlin’s songs are modern, yet they maintain a folksy, old time feeling that makes this a wonderful find of a group. Such Jubilee is their fourth album, and it’s a gem. This is perfect stuff for sitting on your back porch on a sunny afternoon and evening, drinking sweet tea and enjoying your life. The mix of guitars, mandolins, banjos, fiddles, and voices is calming, yet never dull. They do not rock, but they are not snoozy, either, even though the songs are pretty mellow. There’s something for almost everyone (metalheads excluded) on this album, which may be the duo’s finest work. Music you can lose yourself in, and that you can easily fall in love with.

If there’s an issue here, it’s this. Marlin emerges as the lead singer of the duo, and he sings lead on everything. Except for “From Now On”. On this track, Frantz shows, without being in the background for once, what a stunning and beautiful voice she has. But you only get to hear it up front for about three and a half minutes, on this one track. Maybe that’s the way they like it, and how they wanted it, but for me, it would make Such Jubilee so much better if the vocals were given more of a split instead of Frantz getting just a token song to sing. Otherwise, this is fine stuff. “Daylight”, “Settled Down”, and, of course, “From Now On” are the highlights, and the feel and mood of this album is pretty much perfect. Look for their other work as well…Quiet Little Room, This Side Of Jordan, Blindfaller…you pretty much can’t go wrong with this group. If you like the Americana thing, then Mandolin Orange is something you should definitely have on your radar.

1971 – MONUMENT
Produced By FRED FOSTER

1. The Silver Tongued Devil And I
2. Jody And The Kid
3. Billy Dee
4. Good Christian Soldier
5. Breakdown (A Long Way From Home)
6. Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I’ll Ever Do Again)
7. The Taker
8. When I Loved Her
9. The Pilgrim – Chapter 33
10. Epitaph (Black And Blue)

The career of Kris Kristofferson was either highly successful or not very great at all. I guess it depends on how you look at him. I prefer the former view. He was a gifted songwriter with a completely unpolished voice that caused many to dismiss him. He was a decent actor who once shared the screen with Barbra Streisand. He drank too much, chased too many women, and was the definition of a country outlaw. His second album, The Silver Tongued Devil And I, was his most successful album (along with Jesus Was A Capricorn from 1972). It came on the heels of the massive success of Janis Joplin’s version of his “Me And Bobby McGee”, which brought his talents to the eyes and ears of a mass audience. And although this album was a hit, it’s also become somewhat forgotten and underrated over the years.

“Lovin’ Her Was Easier” wasn’t really a hit, but it is the second highest charting single of his career (behind “Why Me”). But this album isn’t about hits. It’s about the absolute quality of the songs. In an era centered on singer-songwriter albums, this stands as one of the very best. “Jody And The Kid”, “Epitaph (Black And Blue)” (which was written for Joplin), “The Taker”…hell, everything else. Some of these were hits for others, but there’s nothing quite like the odd personal touch that Kristofferson gives them. Kristofferson was always famous, and yet his music was always not given its due. If you’re going to give one Kristofferson album a try, to see what his talent was really all about, make that one album The Silver Tongued Devil And I. An absolute classic filled with truly great songs.

16. Let Her Down Easy

Terence Trent D'Arby may be the most talented man (along with Prince) of his time. He's also very frustrating. He was on the verge of being the biggest star in music, and it all blew away...and it's his own damn fault. After his hit debut album, D'Arby's overblown arrogance and his puzzling second album left his fan base a shambles that has never recovered. Symphony Or Damn is his third album, and may be his best overall. Unlike his previous album, it's more even and focused. D'Arby is a multi instrumentalist and sings and plays almost everything here, and he does it expertly. "She Kissed Me" was almost a hit, and there are many fine songs that no one ever really got to hear because of his previous missteps. But D'Arby is a huge talent, and this is very worth listening to.

Since this album, D'Arby has continued to make music, and his career has continued to go nowhere. But as forgotten as he's made himself, the fact is that he's tremendously talented, and his material does have merit.

2010 – FATCAT
Produced By PETER KATIS

1. Things
2. Swim Until You Can’t See Land
3. The Loneliness And The Scream
4. The Wrestle
5. Skip The Youth
6. Nothing Like You
7. Man / Bag Of Sand
8. Foot Shooter
9. Not Miserable
10. Living In Colour
11. Yes, I Would

Frightened Rabbit was a band that always sounded great, was sadly underrated, and for the most part, criminally ignored. Led by the talents of singer and lyricist Scott Hutchinson, this Scottish group made music that was dense, yet never overcrowded, that was tuneful and smart and catchy as hell. The Winter Of Mixed Drinks is their third album out of five, and marks the band’s first entry into in the US charts. But they always had a solid cult following, and for good reason. For the decade plus from 2006 through 2018, we were missing out on a band that really had something special brewing. Frightened Rabbit deserved better.

“Swim Until You Can’t See Land” is the best song here, but there are more than enough solid tracks to make this a good purchase. “The Loneliness And The Scream”, “Nothing Like You” and “Living In Colour” are smart and sound great as well. The music here is lovely, and Hutchinson’s vocals suit the material perfectly. The Midnight Organ Fight, the preceding record, is better by a bit…together, the two will make you wonder why these guys weren’t much more successful. Sadly, Frightened Rabbit’s days ended with Hutchinson’s suicide in 2018. A band that’s definitely worth checking out…beautiful stuff here.

2001 – ROUNDER
Produced By GRANT-LEE PHILLIPS & CARMEN RIZZO

1. See America
2. Humankind
3. Love’s A Mystery
4. Sadness Soot
5. We All Get A Taste
6. Spring Released
7. Lazily Drowning
8. Like A Lover
9. Mobilize
10. Beautiful Dreamers
11. Sleepless Lake
12. April Chimes

Mobilize is the second solo album by Grant-Lee Phillips (the Grant-Lee of Grant-Lee Buffalo). A true solo album, Phillips is all you hear. He plays every instrument, and every voice is his. Critically, this has been viewed as a good thing. But sometimes, too much of one musician might just be that. Phillips does not play drums, so a drum machine is used throughout. A drum machine, unfortunately, can only take rock music so far. Which brings us to the central issue with Mobilize: it barely rocks at all. It sounds lazy and uninspired at times, and the songs seem to be begging for an actual band to play them. Now, there are talents who can pull this kind of an album off. Prince. McCartney. Grant-Lee Phillips just isn’t that guy.

There are some pretty terrific songs here, most notable the surprisingly upbeat “Spring Released”. And Phillips is an incredibly talented guy. But his move towards less rock, at this point, sounds somewhat hollow. Extremely well played, but not quite all there. He tries to make things interesting by using electronic sounds, but it doesn’t add much. The band Grant-Lee Buffalo was always more listenable and engaging. This will work if you’re looking to chill, but otherwise, there’s not enough here to hang you hat on. Which may be why Phillips has never gotten past cult status…his fans are true, but there just aren’t enough of them to make him a star. Stick with the earlier band recordings. This is good, but just a bit too bland.
