说明:
(2021) Tim Easton - You Don't Really Know Me
Review:
The well-worn journalistic catchall of an artist “getting back to their roots” is so corny it has become little more than a cliché most journalists steer clear of. Still, even Americana singer/songwriter Tim Easton admits that there is a sense of coming full circle on this, his first band-supported album in five years. That’s because on You Don’t Really Know Me he reconnects with the same producers (Brad Jones and Robin Eaton), records in the same city (Nashville), and with a similar stripped-down live sound augmented by understated drum loops and standup bass as on his 1989 debut, Special 20. But a lot of road miles and nine previous studio sets separate the two, which creates a far more mature performance on this tenth release than on that early stab at the brass ring. Easton’s folk-rock feels crisp and reinvigorated on these 10 songs, partially due to recording his vocals as the musicians played as opposed to dubbing them in later. Similarities to fellow troubadour Peter Case are apparent, especially in “Real Revolution” where Easton reflects on the revolution in his “heart and mind.” It’s an introspective folk song exploring his recent recovery from vices and a divorce, sung with confidence in the realization he has moved on. A comparable sentiment is also echoed in the following Dylan-inspired “Speed Limit” with the lyrics I can’t worry about tomorrow/yesterday is just a waste of time.
