5.0 out of 5 stars acoustic americana contemporized, October 3, 2006
By gadget guru (mill valley, ca) - See all my reviews
Into an era of genre-bending and eclecticism, Honkytonk Homeslice unapologetically thrusts its first studio release -- an unpretentious and thoroughly enjoyable piece of straightforward Americana. Which is not to say that the self-titled album merely imitates the folk music from which it clearly is borne. On the contrary, the trio -- String Cheese Incident's Bill Nershi, wife Jilian Nershi, and musical acrobat Scott Law -- contemporize the story-telling tradition at the heart of this country's best acoustic music, while paying impressive homage to the genre. Instantly familiar cuts like "Weary Homesick Blues" showcase hubby Nershi's tight picking, while revealing vocals paradoxically strong and vulnerable. This is folk music with just the slightest twist, as though pre-electric Dylan learned to flat-pick.

Rest assured, however, this is not simply a Billy Nershi solo album bearing a mouthful of a name. Honkytonk Homeslice is a trio of complex harmonies -- vocal and instrumental. Scott lays down the law with his counter-punctual rhythms on mandolin, his always impressive acoustic and electric guitar chops, and his soulful down-home crooning. Law's originals "Deliver" and "Shot In The Blue" -- both previously released by Scott Law Band -- receive a second life, stripped down to their acoustic skeleton, and beautifully augmented by Jilian's edgy harmonies and Billy's unique guitar-work. For her part, Jilian emerges as a powerful force in her first professional effort, completing her metamorphosis from simply "Billy's wife" to "Jilian Nershi" to just plain "Jil," cementing herself in the ranks of contemporary musicians fans affectionately refer to on a first-name basis. When HTHS began touring -- originally as a pre-Law husband-wife duo that hit coffee shops between October 2004's Cheese shows -- Jil often joked that hers were parts she perfected as she and Billy played mom and dad washing dishes at home. Well she's traded in the kitchen sink for a guitar and mic, and has improved ferociously ever since. She leads the trio through her original "Another River" and a haunting and unique take on the traditional "Why You Been Gone So Long?" with an alacrity usually reserved for far more seasoned musicians. With this album, Jil proves herself instrumental to the tranformation of the edgy force of HTHS live performances -- most notably, their recent impressive co-bills with high-energy acoustic phenoms Hot Buttered Rum and Railroad Earth -- into the studio.

This album tosses several adjectives at the wall (crisp, tight, harmonic, humble...) but the one that seems to stick over and over is "listenable." Its mix of standards and originals manage to get down-tempo without being stuffy, and upbeat without being flashy. Together, they make for an album fit for headphones or parties, dissection or background music. Honkytonk Homeslice -- both the band and album -- are here to stay.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong Debut for Honkeytonk Homeslice, October 18, 2006
This is a thoroughly enjoyable release. The addition of Scott Law to Bill and Jilian Nershi is a catalyst that results in a wonderful blend of acoustic, vocal and songwriting virtuosity on this self-titled debut. Scott's strong songwriting and fluid guitar playing make him a great foil for Bill.

Bill does a new take on The Big Compromise, which was featured on String Cheese's One Step Closer CD. Let the Pieces Fall and School Bells are particularly strong numbers.The style here is more narrowly-focused and a great listening experience.

The recording benefits from simple and crisp production. It also has a straightforward sound that hangs together as an album, avoiding the lack of clarity of some recent String Cheese CDs, which try to touch all the bases by including a kaliedescope of genres and songwriters.
