Album Review: Various Artists - Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows: Songs of John Prine Vol. 2

Brandi Carlile opens it with John Prine’s last song while Sturgill Simpson closes it with one of his first.

And from the former’s faithful, folksy “I Remember Everything” to the latter’s bluegrass in “Paradise,” Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows: Songs of John Prine Vol. 2 is held together by the late, titular honoree.

A master of couplets and sage turns of phrases, Prine’s personality emanates through Nathaniel Rateliff’s raucous and soundalike “Pretty Good,” Amanda Shires’ disco “Saddle in the Rain,” Tyler Childers’ honky-tonk weeper “Yes, I Guess They Oughta Name a Drink After You” and others.

Bonnie Raitt does “Angel from Montgomery” yet again, and the warbly twangs of Valerie June (“Summer’s End”) and Iris DeMent (“One Red Rose”) are love-’em-or-loathe-’em propositions, so results may vary on those.

But John Paul White’s wispy “Sam Stone” and Emmylou Harris’ breathtakingly fragile “Hello in There” will break almost any heart, while Margo Price and Jason Isbell add some fun with “Sweet Revenge” and “Souvenirs,” respectively.

But what really makes Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows 2 work is the songs. And the man who wrote them all.

Emmylou Harris version of "Hello in there" from Vol. 2 of the John Prine tribute album, Broken hearts & dirty windows: The songs of John Prine is so beautiful...that echo right at the end gave me literal goosebumps!

Tyler Childers recording of "Yes I Guess They Oughta Name A Drink After You" from the album Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows: Songs of John Prine, Vol. 2. ____________________________ Yes I Guess They Oughta Name A Drink After You Songwriter: John Prine

Oh I get drunk most every night Seems like all we do is fight The more I drink the less I feel blue Sometimes I feel like an awful fool Spendin' my life on an old bar stool And yes I guess they oughta name a drink after you If this date were to be our last I'd never sit down this glass It'd take all the booze in the world to forget you You've left my heart a vacant lot I'll fill it with another shot And yes I guess they oughta name a drink after you Looks like I had my fill Guess I better pay my bill When I started out I only meant to have a few Someone just said that you left town I better get a double round And yes I guess they oughta name a drink after you Yes I guess they oughta name a drink after you

REVIEW: Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows: Songs of John Prine, Vol. 1 & 2

REVIEW: Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows: Songs of John Prine, Vol. 1 & 2 @johnprine @Justintearle @joshritter @amandashires @drivebytruckers @nrateliff @valeriejune @ohboyrecords #americanamusic

Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows: Songs of John Prine, Vol. 1 & 2 (Oh Boy Records) Tribute albums can be tricky. Balancing reverence for a legend’s catalogue and style with an individual artist’s interpretation is never easy. Sometimes performers hesitate to take chances resulting in uninspired results. Other times performers twist the material so far it is as if they’d never heard the original…

RDR Essentials - Folk & Country (5/05)

RDR Essentials is a weekly newsletter of alternating genres that outlines key releases of the past month, upcoming events around Seattle and happenings in the specified music genre.

Made in collaboration between Rainy Dawg DJs and the Music Director.

Releases:

Church of Roswell - Here Comes Church of Roswell

Candi Carpenter and Josh Doyle are the duo that make up Church of Roswell. Here Comes Church of Roswell is their first EP, and it is brilliant musically and lyrically. Carpenter has performed at the Grand Ole Opry. She covers Dolly Parton songs, and she is very good at it. Doyle’s claim to fame is as a member of a British pop-punk band called The Dum Dums— in the early 2000s, they made a bit of a splash in England. The two couldn’t be more different and yet, somehow, they work by embracing the eclectic. Overall, Here Comes Church of Roswell is incredibly cohesive and it’s best listened to in order, where the songs flow with clear intentionality. 

The EP opens with “Werewolf,” which, as lyrically devastating as it is, doesn’t sound downtrodden. Carpenter and Doyle’s comforting wash of harmonies shine on “Rocketeer” especially, where the two repeat the phrase, “Nothing is going to bring me down today.” The melody on “Rocketeer” is about as infectiously lighthearted and catchy as it gets. The themes of existentialism and outer space are some of Carpenter’s favorites to explore (see her solo track “The Astronaut” for ample proof of this).

Any fan of the kind of folk-rock popularized by the Lumineers will love the track “Love is a Killer.” This track has a clear, upbeat urgency, which “The Witcher” serves as a continuation of. “The Witcher” particularly highlights the enormous talent Carpenter and Doyle’s backing band, many of whom are also members of Jason Isbell’s acclaimed The 400 Unit. 

As a listener, with the expansive “Canary” as the last track, you’re left wanting more. And congratulations, you’re now a congregant of the Church of Roswell. 

— Michele Rubinstein 

Ashley Monroe - Rosegold 

Ashley Monroe is arguably more known as a member of the all-female supergroup the Pistol Annies than she is for her solo work, which is a real shame. Normally, Monroe is a masterclass in vulnerability and the confessional. She has never been afraid to branch out. While her latest (and highly anticipated) album isn’t a departure from her adventurous norm, it is a departure from her standout poignancy.

In Rosegold’s 10 synth-heavy tracks, Monroe lends much of her writing to cliché. With lines like “wind blowing waves in your hair” and “you're movin' mountains in me,” the song “Groove” best exemplifies this unfortunate decision. 

Tracks like “Flying” and “See” emphasize that Monroe’s intention was to craft an airy, ethereal body of work and, while that is admirable, it has also resulted in an album almost devoid of substance. 

“Til it Breaks” and “The New Me” are the standout tracks on this album. The only problem is that they’re the last few tracks. By the time I got to them, the disappointment had already set in. I still think Monroe is incredibly talented, but she’s got better albums under her belt than this one. 

— Michele Rubinstein 

Taylor Swift - Fearless (Taylor’s Version)

Okay… In a writeup of recent country releases there was NO way I wasn’t going to include Taylor Swift’s remastering of her 2008 Fearless album. Swift’s intention with her planned re-recordings is to regain control of her master recordings. The public stab at music manager Scooter Braun, who currently owns the original masters, is just a plus.  

Fearless (Taylor’s Version) intrinsically invokes nostalgia that knows no bounds in its audience, much of whom were very young when Fearless was first released. The iconic opening line of “Love Story” — “We were both young when I first saw you…” — suddenly has a double meaning. 

Predictably, the re-recordings sound much more polished than their original counterparts. It became clear from the get-go that this was not going to be Taylor Swift re-enacting her teenage self; instead, she would perfectly juxtapose the songs of her adolescence with her current vocal maturity. This is most evident on the track “Fifteen” where, at 31 years old, Swift reflects back on her freshman year of high school. Swift goes about the re-recording of “The Best Day” in a similar manner, and it’s deceptively simple sounding considering the complex topics that Swift is exploring. Somehow, Swift successfully evokes her adolescence more skillfully now than she did fresh out of it. 

The album also includes six previously unreleased “from the vault” songs. Two of the six (“You All Over Me” and “That’s When”) include collaborations with Maren Morris and Keith Urban respectively. However, I’d argue that “Mr. Perfectly Fine” is the best of the six— As an upbeat, scream along in your car type break-up song, it’s reminiscent of Kelly Clarkson’s Breakaway era. 

— Michele Rubinstein 

Croy and the Boys - Of Course They Do 

Croy and the Boys embody the ideals of traditional outlaw country music with a modern twist (Singer and guitarist Corey “Croy'' Baum identifies generally as an anarchist and anti-capitalist. I will leave it to you to decide if that is a traditional outlaw ideal or not.) Their latest release Of Course They Do is a six-track EP entirely made up of punk covers. 

One of the covers (The Dicks’ song “Hate the Police”) is renamed “Croy Hates the Police,” but otherwise remains unchanged. The decision to cover punk songs is one I find particularly interesting, because punk songs tend to be both politically charged and poignant lyrically, but a lot of that is incoherent in the traditional punk sound. By stripping back punk songs, Croy and the Boys clearly emphasize that punk is more than a sound.

My favorite track off of the EP is “Do They Owe Us A Living,” which was originally written by the band Crass over 40 years ago. While Croy and the Boys have updated some of the lyrics, the song’s underlying message is as relevant as ever. Baum describes how the song felt particularly “timely” to revisit in the midst of the pandemic, “watching as Washington debated whether to send us relief checks.” 

And, by the way, the song’s answer to the question “Do they owe us a living?” is a resolute, repeated, “course they do.” 

— Michele Rubinstein 

Upcoming Releases:

Miranda Lambert, Jack Ingram, and Jon Randall - The Marfa Tapes (5/7)

I don’t think I could overstate how excited I am about this collaboration if I tried. The two singles released in anticipation of the album (“Geraldene” and “Anchor”) have, impossibly, only increased my excitement. Lambert, Ingram , and Randall have collaborated before: in 2016, they met on a front porch in Marfa, Texas, and wrote “Tin Man,” one of Lambert’s most devastating ballads. Last September, when the three met in Marfa again, The Marfa Tapes were written around a campfire. It’s clear that, if not for the pandemic, this collaboration would never have been released. 

As popular as she is, I’d argue that Miranda Lambert’s talent and versatility as an artist is criminally underrated. Lambert regularly sells out arenas. As single take, live recordings ridden with perfect imperfections, The Marfa Tapes are an obvious departure from her polished, dramatic norm— though they do include a stripped back version of “Tin Man.” 

Other standout singles released so far include the twangy “Geraldene” and an emotional ballad called “Anchor.”

Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows: Songs of John Prine, Vol. 2 (10/8)

I know I may be getting a bit ahead of the game by referring to an October release as an upcoming release. But, the two singles (covers of Prine’s songs “Paradise” and “I Remember Everything” by Sturgill Simpson and Brandi Carlile respectively) released from this one already make it clear that it’s worth building up your anticipation now. 

This is the second volume of a compilation honoring the late singer-songwriter John Prine, who died of complications from COVID-19 last year. Prine’s independent record label Oh Boy Records has yet to release the album’s tracklist.

Song Review: Tyler Childers - “Yes I Guess They Oughta Name a Drink After You”

Add Tyler Childers to the John Prine celebration guest list.

His honky-tonkin’ take on “Yes I Guess They Oughta Name a Drink After You” is the third single to emerge ahead of Broken Hearts and Dirty Windows: Songs of John Prine, Vol. 2.

Childrers joins Brandi Carlile (“I Remember Everything”) and Sturgill Simpson (“Paradise”) as the known musicians on the various-artists, fundraising compilation that arrives Oct. 8. Oh Boy Records is holding details close, but Childers’ remake means at least three of the tracks will be keepers.

Given the quality of the songs - and the artists who tend to revere the late Prine - that number is sure to swell once the record hits shelves.
