thud I'm sure that at some point in time I've pimped for Kevin Gilbert, but if we learn anything from marketing, its that familiarity breeds affection. So here I go again. Kevin Gilberts "thud" has been a favorite of mine since my first listen. You know that small list of albums that will forever stay on your list of all-time favorites? This in one of those albums. Sadly there's not much of Kevin's work that is up to the same caliber as "thud". Kevin's dead now, sadly he died by his own hand in an accident involving man's favorite pastime. Not baseball. The other one. You may be familiar with a few of his songs even if you've never heard of him. He was part of a songwriting group called the Tuesday Music Club. If THAT sounds familiar its because "Tuesday Night Music Club" is the name of a Sheryl Crow album. Kevin Gilbert has songwriting credits on over half the songs on that cd, including the hits "Leaving Las Vegas" and "All I Wanna Do". The real brilliance of that cd blossomed from the talents of the songwriting group that Crow was introduced to by her boyfriend at the time, Gilbert. "thud" is nearly all Kevin Gilbert, aside from help from a few friends on drums and guitars on songs throughout most of the instruments were played by Kevin. He also produced the album in his own home studio, "Lawnmower and Garden Supplies". The songs are catchy, they have hooks but they are also much more experimental than what you hear from the likes of Sheryl Crow. The lyrics are sharper and more satirical. Its sounds less like a pop album and more like a work of art. Give it a listen, and give it a spin. | |
