To Satisfy You
is one of
Steve Young
's most curious recordings. Well-known as a songwriter's songwriter, there is only one original on the set (
"The River and the Swan"
) and it's the last track on the album. In addition, for those who view
Young
-- mistakenly -- as a
country
artist, his cover of
Buddy Holly
's
"Think It Over"
that opens the disc will be a rude awakening. It rocks, rolls, slips, and strolls with
digging into his
blues
voice for the heart of the lyric. It isn't cute; it's razor-wire sharp and brutal. His funky version of
Waylon Jennings
'
"To Satisfy You,"
with its Mack Truck slide guitars, must have done
Waylon
proud. This is
rock & roll
that
Ronnie VanZandt
from
Lynyrd Skynyrd
would be proud of, given that
is from Alabama.
Walter Vinson
"Top of the World"
is offered in a similar funky treatment before
turns the
Jagger
/
Richards
nugget
"No Expectations"
into an
outlaw country
rock
anthem before finishing the side with
Dave Olney
's amazing tome
"The Contender."
The whole song is in overdrive; it's
Jerry Lee Lewis
meets
Bob Dylan
and
the Band
live.
"Corrina Corrina"
is given a fairly faithful treatment, though it's bright in the same way that latter-day
music is bright. There's plenty of
swing
and guts, but there's polish too.
Jesse Winchester
"All Your Stories"
is given a faithful low-key treatment, and
makes the song his own. The biggest surprise here is the cover of
Cat Stevens
"Wild World,"
completely reinvented from the ground up with ringing guitar solos bringing in the vocal a full two choruses in. The melody is close, but the tempo is up; the twin leads transform it into an indictment instead of a romantic swan song.
W.T. Davidson
"They Call It Love"
is too saturated in reverb to be very effective, despite the fact that it's a quality
song. Finally,
's own tune is a haunting love song of contradiction and epic proportion as seen through the eyes of the personal. It's a beautiful example of a love song that considers love for the sake of the other rather than as self-fulfillment.
's voice is strong, ringing deep and wide, with the musical backing painting it for effect. A fine, if confounding, effort,
is one that
's fans will embrace readily, but does not serve as an introduction to newcomers. ~ Thom Jurek
