详细介绍:
In 2020, before the pandemic, Kevin Morby was at his parents%27 home in Kansas City when his father collapsed at the dinner table and had to be rushed to the hospital. Hours later, still rattled, Morby was going through family photos when he came across one of his dad as a young man—strong, full of confidence, standing tall with his shirt off. He was struck by the reality of aging and inevitable frailty, and how it robs us all of that youthful confidence, even as the memories live within us (and in photographs). He turned those feelings into the song This Is a Photograph: Your father on the front lawn/ With no shirt on/ Ready to take the world on; Your mother in a skirt/ In the cool Kentucky dirt. The melody snakes and, pushed hard by horns, Morby%27s chant builds to a frenzy: This is what I%27ll miss about being alive/ This is what I%27ll miss when I die. The singer-songwriter took off to Memphis to make his seventh album. There, he found himself living with ghosts—like the memory of Jeff Buckley, who drowned there in 1997. If you go down to Memphis, please don%27t go swimming in the Mississippi River, he sings on the undulating Disappearing: If you%27re not appearing, then you%27ll disap— his voice doing just that with the snap of fingers. A Coat of Butterflies—with its lonely sax and lilting harp—is an even more direct tribute to Buckley, bouncing between talking to the late singer and about him. I heard the mighty Mississippi took you away with just one punch/ I heard you had the voice of a sweetheart/ But the sweetheart was out getting drunk, Morby sings. Have you heard Buckley singing %27Hallelujah%27?/ He did what Leonard never could to it/ Gave it wings and then away it was. There%27s a beautiful duet with Erin Rae, Bittersweet, TN, that also weighs the cost of time. A spartan banjo and punch-drunk fiddle provide accompaniment as the singers finish each other%27s verses, Rae%27s voice as clear as a mountain stream. The Bob Dylan quality (with a little Lou Reed creeping in now and again) of Morby%27s own warm voice is especially obvious on songs like A Random Act of Kindness, Stop Before I Cry and back-alley-Memphis-moody Five Easy Pieces. Garage-ready Rock Bottom stirs up another (still very much alive) Memphis spirit, Tav Falco, with its fuzzy low-end guzzle and wildness—It%27s cold down here/ Rock bottom!—complete with maniacal laughter from absurdist comedy stars Alia Shawkat and Tim Heidecker. The piano feels like a ray of light on It%27s Over, even as Morby wrestles with loss (the line January turned to firewood is absolutely haunted). And the singer does his best Leonard Cohen on closer Goodbye to Good Times, a relaxed-fit slice of nostalgia referencing Mickey Mantle, Tina Turner and the ingrained notion that the heroes of our youth are the best.
