The Brave and the Bold's version of "Thunder Road" is crushing and ominous, unapologetically divorced from Springsteen's fist-pumping highway anthem, and less a call to action than a proclamation of defeat, broken and sad, punctuated by plodding guitar and weird hisses. What lets the song down is Oldham’s soft fragile vocal which doesn’t suit the heavier tones of the actual music. The simple narrative about Daniel traveling on a plane to Spain is sung by the point of view of his younger brother. It’s Expected I’m Gone… to a Minutemen song, one of Oldham’s early favourite bands. Big swirly keyboard sounds doing some epic but ironic opening before drums enter softly, then bass, and heavy but spartan guitar noodling. The brave and the bold? I just realized for the first time how much the kiwi singer Don McGlashan sings exactly like Richard Thompson. It has one or two goodies, but there’s something missing here—strong melodies for one, any sense of purpose for another, and the old problem of Oldham singing with a band he doesn’t actually belong to, thus causing a mismatch between his vocal style and the music. Pop culture obsessives writing for the pop culture obsessed. Todos los derechos reservados. der sound ist typisch vertrackt und die covers sind alle sehr hörenswert!

Saltar al contenido principal. At the end he tells her, via imperative form, “So Mary climb in,” because theirs is “a town full of losers.” So I’ve just been listening to the original on Youtube and it sounds like a more down-to-earth Meatloaf to me—soaring vocals, dramatic piano, poignant dynamic chord changes—the formula for an epic. Tortoise and Bonnie Prince Billy (W.Oldham) took a bunch of cover songs and totally made them their own. We’ve got speed, more fuzz guitar, some strange echo effects on the vocal, and a great melody, but again, in Oldham’s voice it still feels and sounds wrong to my ears. Something we hope you'll especially enjoy: FBA items qualify for FREE Shipping and Amazon Prime. Both artists maintain their signature sounds here, yet the pairing yields few particularly fiery or compelling results. ( Log Out / The river also dances, and there you have it.

The lo-fi punkish thrash is replaced by a heavy electronic buzz and a rather dullard drum machine beat. This first time collaboration between Tortoise and Will Oldham features covers of such artists as Bruce Springsteen ("Thunder Road"), The Minutemen ("It's Expected I'm Gone") Elton John and Bernie Taupin ("Daniel"), Lungfish ("Love Is Love"), Richard Thompson ("Cavalry Cross"), and more. Great mash up, totally reinvented covers. On My Own… is from a band called Quixotic, a weird rock band from Washington. The insipid and uninspired more like.

The musicianship is very hard to define but suffice to say it is a good blend of country-avant-garde-electronic music that makes you feel good; an unfamiliar sound that sounds all at once familar. Who would've expected dour alt-country troubadour Will Oldham (a.k.a. Mine had the stickers peeled off, the sleeve was torn, and the record was dirty with scratches. The words and hence their meanings seem lost beneath the capricious nature of the music which has an annoying soft/loud dynamic. She’s singing about being “a girl in trouble” but keeps protesting that she’s not in danger, even though others try to sell her some kind of protection, “all kinds of things to save me / From hurting like a woman / And crying like a baby.” Sounds like proto-feminism. Love Is Love… is by Lungfish, a supposedly ‘emo’ band from Baltimore who began in 1988. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness. And the music here opens with a punchy and beaty rhythm with fuzzy guitar or organ and Oldham singing in his Spanish accent, double-tracked vocal, a soft dreamy interlude with horns bleating a tunesome textural polish against the fuzzy guitars and warm bass. "Thunder Road" is probably the best track and most accessible mainstream type song but Oldham and Tortoise are anything but mainstream, especially on this disc. The Brave And The Bold leaves me cold. I can hear a rhythm that sounds stolen from something like “A Strange Day” from The Cure’s Pornography album. I say practically because I wasn't such a big fan of Standards, but that's neither here nor there.
