Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Terry Allen and the Panhandle Mystery Band's latest offering, "Smokin The Dummy." What can I say, it's a wild ride from start to finish. This album is like a quirky, theatrical journey through the dusty plains of West Texas, with Allen's signature storytelling taking center stage.
The title track, "Smokin The Dummy," kicks things off with its infectious groove and Allen's wry lyrics about a man and his dummy getting into all sorts of trouble. It's a toe-tapping, foot-stomping good time that sets the tone for the rest of the album.
Tracks like "Flatland Boogie" and "Gimme A Ride To Heaven Boy" showcase Allen's unique blend of country, rock, and gospel influences, with the Panhandle Mystery Band providing tight, energetic instrumentation that keeps the listener hooked.
But it's on songs like "Carter (Ten), Charlie (Nine)" and "The Great Joe Bob (A Regional Tragedy)" where Allen truly shines as a master storyteller. These haunting, character-driven ballads paint vivid pictures of small-town life in the American Southwest, with Allen's gravelly vocals and poetic lyrics inviting the listener to step into his world.
Overall, "Smokin The Dummy" is a bold, brash, and utterly captivating album that solidifies Terry Allen's status as a true musical maverick. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a newcomer to his music, this album is sure to leave you wanting more. So go ahead, light up that dummy and let Terry Allen take you on a thrilling ride through the Panhandle.
