Perfection
This is a sophisticated, polished album, from the
horn-dressed ballad of Wreckless Heart, to the bass-caressed funk and psyche and
rock orchestration of great opener Roll on Slow, to the pop funk of Wheels on
Fire, and to another plaintive, organ and horns rousing ballad of Why Woman. Hansard’s
vocal, as on Movin’ On, is emotively gritty, as well as gentle for the fullest
range of shades like the sweet Setting Forth, strings here assisting perfectly
as are all the instrumental/production judgements – listen to the horn intro for
Lucky Man, organ here another constant fine feature.
I could write as closely and positively for every other
track. If you like this kind of music, it is perfection.
