5.0 out of 5 stars I just like good songs, June 4, 2005

By

This review is from: Bound Away (Audio CD)

this is a very strong album. its an interesting mix of originals and covers, and (as usual with these guys) styles. Eric Brace has a wonderful, souful, and distinctive voice that truly makes this band click. jeff lange's incredible guitar (in particular on gravedigger blues and bound away) give this album less of blue grass/country feel than their others, but that doesnt mean its any less of a beautiful sound. one of LTH's strengths over their few albums has been selecting material from a few of the dc areas unsung, but terrific songwriters, and they do it again here. the band's cover of Karl Straub's dark and cryptic "they dance real close there" is just right -- (this song is really one finest pieces of songwriting you will ever find) ; and Kevin johnson's "marlene" that starts the album is a wonderful tune.

and the originals are excellent too; eric's "flipping quarters" is one of their best. the only critique is that absence of the strong harmonies that LTH's earlier albums featured.

Eric Brace and Last Train Home just keep getting better and better. "Bound Away" is by turns joyful, smokin', soulful, thought-provoking, and all of the above at the same time. It's the kind of music that you want to crank up when you're doing any kind of routine chore---only beware, because chances are that you'll end up grooving down in the kitchen instead of doing the dishes. At last, country music that's as original as it is unsentimental.
