Since completing 1993’s ‘Jim and John’, Alan Lomax fulfilled their contract with Mute Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Since Alan Lomax last CD (Sounds of the South Disc 2) on Mute Records back in 1993, I have felt a massive void in my life. Alan Lomax’s debut, ‘Sounds of the South Disc 2′, does not fit easily into one genre. Great Folk right here!
This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. Been Drinkin’ Water Out of a Hollow Log is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. I now have All Night Long as one of my personal favorites. Alan Lomax has astounded me with this amazing track. I like Levee Camp Reminiscence because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Chevrolet is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. Levee Camp Holler - This one is lively and fun. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Album opener Drink on Little Girl is a bright, upbeat ditty. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Drop Down Mama is my favorite song on Sounds of the South Disc 2. This song may be the most meaningful. She Lived Her Life Too Fast is almost impossible to review. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. Cool Water Blues still maintains something of a specific flourish. Alan Lomax rocks harder than ever with She Don’t Love Me That Way. Alan Lomax breathes new life into the music in Stop Breaking Down. Joe Lee’s Rock is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. Bullyin’ Well - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. When listening to When You Get Home, Write Me a Few Little Lines, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. You can find feelings on this piece of art. I like the idea behind Forrest City Jump.
