Our Take
Our Take
Step into the delightful and slightly twisted world of THRIFTSTORE MASTERPIECE's "Trouble Is A Lonesome Town," where the dusty streets are filled with sorrow, longing, and just a touch of dark humor. The brainchild of producer and multi-instrumentalist Jon Tiven, this album is a quirky homage to Lee Hazlewood's 1963 cult classic of the same name.
From the opening track "Long Black Train," with its haunting vocals and eerie twangy guitars, to the closing ballad "Run Boy Run," this album takes you on a wild ride through a desolate landscape where heartbreak and loneliness reign supreme. Tiven's deft production skills bring a modern sensibility to Hazlewood's timeless storytelling, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
The album features a stellar cast of musicians, including Frank Black, Pete Yorn, and members of The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, who all bring their own unique spin to these classic songs. Standout tracks include the infectious "Ugly Brown" and the achingly beautiful "Son of a Gun," showcasing Tiven's knack for finding the perfect balance between reverence and reinvention.
So, if you're in the mood for a musical journey that's equal parts melancholy and mischievous, look no further than "Trouble Is A Lonesome Town." This album is a true masterpiece of reimagined Americana, guaranteed to charm and captivate even the most jaded of listeners. Trust us, you won't be able to resist its unique charms.
