iTunes Review
After working alongside songwriter Chip Taylor, fiddler and singer-songwriter Carrie Rodriguez has been working up her own formidable solo career. With the aid of producer Malcolm Burn, known for his work with the late Chris Whitley and Emmylou Harris, and co-writers Gary Louris of the Jayhawks, Jim Boquist of Son Volt, and fellow alt.country songstress Mary Gauthier, Rodriguez put together her second solo album, 2008’s She Ain’t Me, with a smooth, atmospheric glaze haunting these compact and poignant tunes that ache with a heart lost and a world in disarray. “Infinite Night” struggles with class warfare. “She Ain’t Me” delivers perfect country-pop in a self-empowerment anthem. “Absence” spooks along with Rodriguez’s eerie violin finally making its first appearance (oddly, she only employs her main instrument sparingly on three tracks). “Mask of Moses” adds Lucinda Williams’ ghostly backing vocals. “Grace” and “Let Me In” crawl through what feels like an endless night of desire and ennui. By the album’s closing track, “Can’t Cry Enough,” it’s evident that no matter how easeful her sound, Rodriguez is exploring some dark terrain.
Customer Reviews
ok, but....
A bit too pop for her, but understandable. The nice fiddle playing that accentuated much of her earlier work is functionally gone in favor of trying to win fans with a more sosphisticated approach. It isn't bad at all, she sings so very pretty and the arrangements sound well crafted. I just wish the production was not quite so clean, so pristine. Wipe away the grime and you sometimes see too clearly.
Great Soul/R&B Album
Even though the album is labeled as folk but for Soul/R&B lovers is a great album, she really opens her heart in all of this songs. Click yes if you agree.
Label Change & Style Switch
This is Carrie Rodriguez's country-soul statement. Her Dusty Springfield moment as it were. Previous releases have less southern soul in the mix; they're more alt-country with a swamp rock mojo hand. While the vocal performances take the spotlight here -- and Rodriguez has taken critical dings for her vocals, some would say unfairly -- longtime fans will miss her exceptional fiddle playing amid these more commercial arrangements.
