Negative Positive
Title: A different kinda country!
Review: A melancholy, slowcore indie-alt homage to 1960s/'70s outlaw songwriter Kris Kristofferson, featuring modern artists such as Califone, Calexico, the Radar Brothers, Creeper Lagoon, Court & Spark, and others. The overwhelming rock/lo-fi slant of this album makes it a bit of a fish-out-of-water curiousity. I suppose it's a good match, though, for Kristofferson's own overly-deliberate songwriting style. Don't expect much twang on this album, outside of a couple of tracks by Richard Buckner and Bay Area old-timey champs, the Crooked Jades. Kristofferson fans might also want to check out the more country-ish "DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN" collection, which was released at the same time, on a different label.
Is the review positive or negative?
