paints a picture

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Fred Eagelsmith is a unusual CD not a rough and rowdy material. Very subduced and understated. The only downer is the songs are all the same in style and arrangement. He should mix up the material.

Fred Eaglesmith - Milly's Cafe

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Fred's cool. His songs are hurtin' cowboy country songs and they're fantastic for driving or easy listening. Guitar players, songwriters and singers, as well as just fans of cowboy country will love this guy. He's Canadian!

more variety required

 Album Rating: (3 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: as the title suggests I was a little bit put off by the sameness of the songs
not the lyrics or topics just the delivery
the best of a type stood out against others
e.g. best songs : mrs hank williams
thinkin bout her
the rains

Not suitable for airplay

 Album Rating: (1 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I'll be honest: I'm not a fan of Fred Eaglesmith but since I am a researcher for a local community radio station (which means I get to preview the music and make suggestions) I had to listen to it. I held off reviewing it for as long as I could for obvious reasons. There wasn't a single cut that didn't make me want to slash my wrists with a rusty spoon. All the selections are too long, the subject matter from beginning to end is only suitable for consuming alcholic beverages while carrying loaded firearms and there is just too much going on on the background all the time.

It could be that I'm just an old geezer that refuses to change with the times and to an extent you're right. But when the opening cut on ANY album is five minutes long and sets the overall tone with such a dark image it's hard to be impressed.

a bittersweet gem
