Title: All That Glitters Is Not 'Gold'
Review: There may be a number of 2001 albums that "glitter," but none of them are 'Gold.' This is the Album of the Year, hands down! I was really disappointed when I heard Adams was breaking up Whiskeytown. In fact, to show my spite, I refrained from buying 'Heartbreaker,' and did not intend to buy 'Gold.' By chance, however, I heard a couple of tracks and was immediately hooked. The thing is, this is not just an extension of his Whiskeytown genius. It is fresh. It is different. And, it is brilliant. There are plenty of songs that will jump right out at you (e.g. 'New York,' 'Firecracker,' etc.), but the brilliance lies in some of the more subtle numbers like 'Rescue Blues' and 'Stars Go Blue.' This album is a "must have" for anyone who appreciates music and longs for the days when rock 'n roll stars weren't supposed to be role models.
