| |
| For those who observe the hidden pitfalls and wiles of the music |
| business, it's deeply satisfying to see that, every once in a while, |
| real tenacity, no matter how unfocused it seems, pays off. Singer, |
| songwriter, visual artist, and author Jeb Loy Nichols is a case in |
| point. It was there from his earliest days when he relocated from Austin |
| to New York in 1979, hanging out with the Slits and Neneh Cherry; it |
| displayed itself in the Fellow Travellers, a band Nichols formed with |
| wife Loraine Morley, On-U Sound engineer Martin Harrison, and jazz |
| trombonist John Harborne. It showed itself on his Capitol Records debut, |
| Lovers Knot, in 1997, and with his participation in the electronic |
| dance-pop of the Underwolves, one of his many side projects, as well as |
| on all six of his own releases. Nichols perseveres tenaciously, but he |
| hangs on loosely. His musical ambitions are limitless; he writes songs |
| that reflect his love of country, dubwise reggae, jazz, the Great |
| American Songbook, folk, blues, and rock. He hears music in his head |
| like an old-school FM DJ spinning records all night long across the |
| American wilderness. His approach is always laid-back but focused, |
| warmly humorous, lithely sensual, and as comfortable as a well-worn |
| shirt. |
| |
| Parish Bar, issued on Compass Records, was originally recorded as an in |
| -between project, something to reflect his many interests while he was |
| thinking about recording another "proper" album. The ironic thing is, |
| Parish Bar reflects the many elements of Nichols' musical identity |
| better than any of his previous offerings. The 13-track set � available |
| on vinyl and CD, and the wax comes with a coupon for a free download of |
| the album � contains some new originals, an old cut radically redone, |
| and some covers. Stylistically, it ranges from countrified reggae to |
| funky Americana, some jazz, some dub, and other musics: all of them pure |
| Nichols, who claims he conceived and recorded the set on his farm in |
| Wales while working on a series of woodcuts called Ghost Land, taken |
| from the nickname of Bronx park where Afrika Bambaataa founded the Zulu |
| Nation. The opening cut, "Countrymusicdisco45," is exactly what it says |
| it is. This is the heretofore secret terrain where Boz Scaggs' Silk |
| Degrees meets the laid-back country groove of Willie Nelson and Charlie |
| Rich in the 1970s, polished with a few select breaks, a nocturnal |
| bassline, and some smooth Rhodes, strings, and harmonica. It might read |
| like a horrible combination, but it all locks into a sensual, laid-back |
| groove. |
| |
| The covers are choice, too, including a stellar � if highly unusual � |
| reading of Tom T. Hall's "I Took a Memory to Lunch," with Rhodes piano, |
| soulful wah-wah guitar, and backing vocals from Morley, along with a |
| jazzy funky "Foggy Road Ride." There's a fine near-dancehall version of |
| James B. Smith's "I'm Blue I'm Lonesome Too." Right, the song originally |
| recorded by Bill Monroe & His Bluegrass Boys. But it's Nichols' own |
| tunes that bring the greatest satisfaction � his redo of "Days Are |
| Mighty," with some more slippery beats, a high-string guitar, and rub-a |
| -dub bassline bubbling under that tender Missouri-***-Wyoming-***-Texas |
| drawl. The laid-back blue-eyed Southern soul of "Satan's Helper" may |
| have country lyrics, but the music weds the Rascals to James Taylor to |
| Dan Penn. Parish Bar may be the album that puts Nichols over, and it |
| deserves to. He's slowly but surely gone about his business, and his |
| sense of craft, honesty, and curiosity makes for music that is rich, |
| sophisticated, and resonant with all the qualities of the human spirit. |
