Album Review
Vince Gill takes off on a tour of American music on "High Lonesome Sound". The title cut steps back to a time he hasn't visited in a while, drawing on his days as a bluegrass singer and guitarist to create a soaring, harmony-driven sound that applies Appalachian drive to modern country rhythms. Most of the rest of the album's journey treks in new directions. The aggressive guitar riff that opens "One Dance With You" is straight Chicago blues, while the jaunty feel that enlivens "Down To New Orleans" draws on that city's funky polyrhythms with a deft touch worthy of Little Feat. "Tell Me Lover," also bearing the toe print of Little Feat, dances through a swampy groove. The problem isn't with the arrangements; Gill and producer Tony Brown give traditional sounds a modern shine while maintaining a distinct regional flavor. Gill gets much more room to show off his impressive guitar prowess than on past albums. But the lyrics too often deaden the excitement; he over-sweetens the blues with a corny chorus, then drags every Cajun cliché imaginable into his Louisiana homage. The album works best when he's not straining for authenticity: "Worlds Apart," "Given More Time" and "Pretty Little Adriana" leaven his tried-and-true formula into arrangements that are more progressively atmospheric than his past hits. Gill owns too many strengths to need to transform himself into Lowell George or Bonnie Raitt at this point in his career. ~ Michael McCall, All Music Guide
