5.0 out of 5 stars An inspired debut., August 26, 2003

This review is from: Petty Alchemy (Audio CD)

I had seen Josh Weinstein doing his funny and harrowing songs as a solo act in New York, and was knocked out by how they sound on disc. Josh never sang better and the band that backs him is perfect -- the playing is intense and intuitive, whether the songs are rockers or 4 a.m. closing-time blues.
But the songs themselves are the star. Check out the exuberant "Make This Boy Your Man," the scarifying "Nothing Sadder Than a Saturday Night," the brilliantly rueful "Fight We Didn't Have" -- they're packed with memorable lyrics, with melodies that have an instant-standard quality. He's got a lot of influences, obviously, but this collection of original tunes is truly original.

I loved this CD the first time I heard it and it only gets better each time I listen to it. As well as the tracks mentioned by other reviewers, "Drunks and Dreamers" is hauntingly beautiful and nobody could ask for a better love song than "I've Never Written a Love Song!" I hope this is the first of many CDs by this artist.
