JUANITA STEIN. Cold Comfort. America.
Показать описание
I do not own copyright and will take down if requested.
Stein’s voice is the consistently beguiling thread which holds ‘America’ together. But with its references to bourbon, gambling men and copious heartbreak, and its heavy stylistic borrowings, there are two ways of viewing this record; either as a slickly accomplished pastiche (but a pastiche all the same); or, as its creator intends, as a beautifully observed and evocative ode to America. It deserves to be heard as the latter; for me this album paints a gallery of vivid pictures, and Stein is the powerfully creative master of her art.
