Jamie Anderson Wing CD Review |
Many
of the cuts on "Listen" were recorded live, with few overdubs. The
authenticity adds to Anderson's music. The feel of the CD draws listeners in, as
they become Anderson's intimates. The electric slide guitar on the opening
track, "(I Wanna) Drive," gives the song a blues-rock feel as Anderson
sings about love. "Maybe You Miss Me" is about lost love, while the
title track is Anderson's lesson about infidelity and how to make a relationship
work.
The rest of the CD really captures Anderson's flavor, with a refreshing
optimism. Take, for example, Anderson's lusty tribute to potato chips: "I'm
hungry with desire, oh my wanting lips/ I breathe heavy thinking of luscious
potato chips/ Give me hot barbeque, crinkle or even plain/ I love to bite them,
what pleasure I'll gain/ Potato Chips." (The song is the aptly titled,
"Potato Chips.") "I Miss The Dog" is a Spanish-flavored
country ditty. "When we broke up all I did was cry/ I miss the warmth and
the soulful eyes/ My heart aches right to the core/ But it's not you I'm pining
for/ I miss the dog more than I miss you," Anderson sings to an accordion
and mandolin. Anderson also shows her serious side with "Forever
Family," a song dealing with different types of families, including a
lesbian couple. "Fourteen" tackles the serious issue of gun violence
and "A Love This True" is Anderson's plea to legalize same-sex
marriages.
"Listen" is a full dose of Anderson, taking listeners on a journey
from country, to harmony to rocking blues. "Listen" is a refreshing
escape from the typical women's music genre and is definitely worth a listen.
