Thinking Of You

Product Description Six years have passed since the release of Freakwater's last album, End Time. Using their uniquely askew take on honky-tonk, bluegrass, and country-politan, Freakwater invariably make records easily distinguishable from one another while maintaining their signature sound. Label mates Califone join them on this release, creating a record both modern and timeless in its instrumentation and sentiment. The outcome is complex and subtly nuanced with remarkable balance and fluidity. Like the album cover's tongue-in-cheek greeting card image of a burning bouquet, the music itself represents an exquisite blend of beauty, horror, and inexplicable optimism. Thrill Jockey. 2005. Tienda Surprises abound on the first release in six years from Chicago's Freakwater. Though the Appalachian-style harmonies of Catherine Irwin and Janet Beveridge Bean remain the heart of the band's sound, Thinking of You extends the sonic range well beyond purism or revivalism. With the backing of labelmates Califone and an eclectic group of supporting musicians, the arrangements employ everything from a bass clarinet solo on "Buckets of Oil" to a musical saw on "Jack the Knife" (no relation to Mack) to a pump organ on the country waltz of "Cricket vs. Ant." While "Jewel" sounds like it might have come from the early songbook of Dolly Parton, the closing "Hi Ho Silver" could pass as a druggy ballad from the '70s Rolling Stones. Following solo albums by Irwin and Bean, both singer-songwriters have brought strong material (maybe their strongest to date) and fresh inspiration back to the Freakwater table. --Don McLeese
