Impressively noble

Wilson Noble has a lot of talent and expresses very interesting ideas in this album (Victor is wonderful lyrically). Unlike his first album, he sometimes adds keys and strings to his acoustic mix this time and they work beautifully as an accompaniment, especially on 'all around'. This is a great acoustic album.

Well produced and skillful, but a bit scattered

25/02/09

Noble’s album includes a nice selection of folk songs infused with a number of different perspectives (the ID3 tags include pop-folk, reggae, ambient, instrumental, country, meditative, new age, and vocal). The pseudo Caribbean feel of “So let’s dance” works very well, as do the more meditative “middle of the road” and “all around.” My least favorite song is “Victor,” which has a driving guitar track and a harsh vocal track–by intention, I think. Noble’s approach feels much like it lies somewhere between folk artists like Greg Brown and Bill Morrissey on one hand and guitar artists like Leo Kottke on the other.

It isn’t bad, it’s just not to my taste. I suspect no listener will avoid losing at least one or two tracks to the question of taste, as the range exceeds what one might expect from an album. This range of approaches and skillfully created tracks works well, but could use a bit more coherence as an album. This feels less like an album than like a collection of songs unified only by the fact that a single artist created them.
