General Interest Have One On Me Easy (6:04)Have One On Me (11:02)'81 (3:52)Good Intentions Paving Company (7:02)No Provenance (6:25)Through the course of Have One On Me's eighteen songs, Joanna visits upon us ditties, weepies, court dances, rump-bumpers, epics and moments of wraparound fantasia. Review Looking from the outside, the job of following up Ysthe 2006 album that transformed San Francisco harpist Joanna Newsom from kooky cult concern to a musician widely regarded as one of the more gifted composers of the ageappeared a task most unenviable. Epic in scope, with arrangements steeped in jazz and world music and lyrics prone to dazzling flights of archaic language more befitting of William Faulkner than any modern songbook, it was so exceptional as to beg the question: where next Have One on Me answers that question in both prosaic and surprising ways. For one, perhaps predictably, its bigger stillclocking in at three CDs and over two hours of music, this is about as big as albums get. There are unexpected changes here, tooprimarily, the quality of Newsoms voice. Once raw and child-like, following a period recovering from vocal-chord nodes, it has now developed into something more classically pretty, although hints of the old grizzle still re-emerge occasionally. The precocity of the lyrics has been toned down a little, too songs sprawl less, and hang on concise, wonderful phrases. I found a little plot of land, in the garden of Eden, she sings on 81, while Kingfisher commences with a soft entreaty: Whose is the hand that I will hold Her voice is almost a whisper: Whose is the face I will see Still present, though, is a raft of nature imagery. The title track is an impressive bestiary of daddy long-legs, tarantulas and famous spider dances, while on Esme she is confused like the wagging bob-tail of a bulldogprobably not one youve heard before. What, aside from length, really defines Have One on Me in contrast to Newsoms previous work is its confluence of styles. With Newsom moving back and forth between harp and piano and added instrumentation supplied by Ys Street Band leader Ryan Francesconi, the range here feels much broader. Good Intentions Paving Company toys with gospel soul and bluegrass banjo, while the excellent Baby Birch is lonesome country that builds into a majestic strut of spindly electric guitar and oriental melodies. As an album, it is huge, sometimes overwhelmingbut such is the strength and individuality of Newsoms vision, it seems almost inconceivable she could produce anything unremarkable. --Louis Pattison This link will take you offin a new window Shipping Shipping is free for all customers in Australia.
