Maybe 76-year-old singer-songwriter/producer T BONE BURNETT, born
Joseph Henry “T Bone” Burnett III, wasn’t the glamorous mega star as many
of his contemporary musicians were, like Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Leonard
Cohen and Neil Young, to name just a few but his résumé is stuffed with great
musical achievements.
As a solo artist, he recorded/released several LPs. As a producer, he worked with
Los Lobos, Elvis Costello, Brandi Carlile, and Robert Plant & Alison Krauss and so many
more. He toured with Bob Dylan and other famous friends and he won a bunch of Grammys.
He just released his 15th LP, named THE OTHER SIDE
AllMusic says: “The Other Side is one of T-Bone Burnett’s warmest and most emotionally resonant works, and if it’s less ambitious than the Invisible Light albums, it’s a powerful example of what he does best as a songwriter, a vocalist, and a producer.” Score: 4/5.
TUTV: The Other Side is a concept record about a “mysterious couple” having adventures
in an otherworldly America. Burnett translate their mixed emotions experiences in lovey dovey lullabies, heartfelt musings and melancholic ballads.
This is the perfect record for daydreaming and relaxation. Soft, mellow and tender.
His slightly hoarse Americana voice enchants and entices all through this sepia-coloured album. 12 bittersweet serenades for the midnight hours, away from our hyperbenthic reality. Pure compassionate romanticism. Pure songmith.
Mesmerizing single Waiting For You.
