Customer Reviews for Vagabonds
Fantastic Turner Hall Show In Milwaukee...
Rating:
Just saw the man last night for the local public radio station WUWM benefit...True Blue, Vagabonds, To Die A Happy Man, and DC Blues were powerful statements of originality and meaning in these troubled and interesting times. Gary was totally at ease with a very receptive and appreciative audience, having to rethink lyrics to long ago songs, he unapologetically stated, "I'll have to get back to that one" several times throughout the night and the crowd dug it. I think not by accident, there's a melancholy to many of these songs, and Louris pulls one into the sadness without becoming maudlin or helpless, life is happening...the clouds are threatening, let's hunker down and face it...and after we'll face our brokenheartedness with dignity. Thanks Gary for a great show...pick this up now and enjoy a true American original artist...great stuff.
Customer Reviews for Vagabonds Cd
Fantastic!
Rating:
One of the most thoughtful albums I've ever heard. Gary really lets out all of his thoughts on a wide range of subjects. A very deep album with lots of stories and notions that grow on you with every listen. Wonderful songwriting. Blue, We'll Get By, and Vagabonds are the most radio-friendly, catchy and accessible tracks. The Laurel Canyon choir and Chris Robinson's (of The Black Crowes) producing are wonderful touches. Gary is the best musical artist in the U.S., but you'd never know it from record sales and the like. Check out this gem if you like bands like The Jayhawks, Wilco, Phish, Sunvolt, Uncle Tupelo, Neil Young, The Byrds, Gram Parsons, The Eagles, etc.. You won't be disappointed if you like Americana (rock, country) and deep introspective music.
