4.0 out of 5 stars
Country roots-rock from and Ausin indie icon, July 17, 2002
This review is from: Fishin' in the Muddy (Audio CD)
A guitar-playin' pal of Lucinda Williams, Robert Earl Keen and others, Austin-based producer Gurf Morlix has a strong rocker streak, which didn't serve him well on his previous recordings, but works pretty nicely on this groovy solo album. There are several odd, oddly compelling songs on here -- the first few songs are really catchy -- and plenty of sly roots-rocking riffs to enjoy. On a couple of tracks, Morlix indulges in lighthearted, guylike stupidity -- the penile, puerile "Big Eye" for example, is a mere throwaway -- but mostly this is a pretty solid album. Now I finally get what everyone else sees in this guy. Definitely worth checking out.
