Updated as a contemporary thriller/vehicle for Matt Damon, this second take on Robert Ludlum's classic spy thriller (previously a Richard Chamberlain-starring TV miniseries) may be more interested in action set pieces than faithfulness to its literary roots. But composer John Powell's skillful score goes a long way toward steeping the well-orchestrated stunts and car chases with an aura of mystery and unease. With a résumé heavy in animation (Shrek, Chicken Run, Antz) and spoofs (Evolution, Rat Race, Just Visiting), Powell is obviously adept at parodying the tired McAction score. Here he deftly sidesteps such clichés, delivering up a remarkable, subtle score of restlessly shifting moods and color. The plaintive oboe figure of the "Main Title" segues to vaguely East Asian orchestral motifs, then increasingly prominent use of wily, ever-shifting electronic rhythms and effects. The effect is compelling and almost hypnotic, music that perfectly underscores the lead character's identity crisis and the web of intrigue he's caught up in. Powell spares us the typical bombast and shrewdly lets the visual action speak for itself. This wise composer understands that less can be infinitely more. --Jerry McCulley

Excellent.......2007-05-31

If you are a Jason Bourne fan...as I am...this soundtrack is a must buy! The quality of this production is excellent, as it takes you back to the scenes of the movie...in your imagination. The music to this movie was beautiful and now you can showcase those memorable sounds in your own soundsystem.

Excellent Originality The kind that is Bourne not made!.......2006-11-05

Every once in a while you come across music that actually gets better with repeated listenings and it becomes timeless. This is one of them. Any previous reviews that talk about how this doesn't sound like a soundtrack and more like an amalgation of electonic sounds actually speaks to it's strength. Of course, it not only electronic sounds - Labeling it that is a just a simple way to characterize it. Not unlike Jaws, Psycho, or Midnight Express Mr Powell has made music that is both unique and inseparable to the movie he is composing for. The director, in DVD commentary, says as much. This movie would not be what it is without the music.

You will rarely hear a combination of xylephones, drums, basson, bells, owl sounds (Hoo, "Who") and god knows what thrown in for the purpose of creating a unique soundscape. What is also perfect is the movie is about identity, mystery, deception, etc. The music mirrors the basic themes of the movie and all the while keeping an underlying sense solving a mystery in a confusing environment.

The truly amazing blessing is that whether you like this one or not you have the opportunity to see the development of things you do like about it in the future soundtracks that are sure to come out. John Powell's work overall outside of The Bourne Series definitely has a signature and it may be hard to appreciate his music without looking at his work as a whole. You can definitely tell he takes risks that can actually produce work that is exciting and fresh and not just background music. Soundtracks like his augment the excitement and the emotions movies are made to inspire in us whether we are in the theater or outside of it. This soundtrack may actually be ahead of its time.

Again, repeated listenings can have you realize that this ugly duckling of a soundtrack may actually be a Swan and how perfect for a movie about someone searching for their true identity.

Great score!!.......2006-06-28

This is a fantastic action score. One of my favorites. It really gets me pumped up. This is the score of the movie. Don't rate it low because you are looking for a song from the movie. Write reviews based on the merits of the score!

Bourne Identity Soundtrack.......2005-08-18

The movie Bourne Identity was not a unique concept. It was based on a well-known novel by Robert Ludlum. The concept of a reluctant hero is not unusual. But the concept of a hero who "woke up" from his violent past and tries to create his own better future is somewhat unique. I think the soundtrack for this film is just as unique. There is such a catchy theme that starts right from the beginning under "Main Title" that threads it's way through the remainder of the tracks. You can catch bits and pieces of this theme in commercials on TV and some television shows. Overall a wonderful listening experience.

It's not exactly a score...It's more like an IDEA........2005-07-20

Don't get me wrong, this music is good, but if you listen to the Bourne Supremacy and then this, you get a strong feeling this score was an idea conjured up in Powell's head that he didn't quite figure out how to communicate in a composition. Powell didn't exactly KNOW what he was going for, he just took a shot in the dark and hoped it hit something.

And it did. The music in The Bourne Identity is an oddball because the tempo, and mood in a song can change from pensive to frantic in seconds (not that it's completely a bad thing). Although periodically the eletronics added sometimes make one twitchy listening to this music, this is a good album. Sometimes the string solos (not accompanied by drums, eletronics OR guitar) are really nice. They make your ears happy.

Altogether, this is a good c.d. It's like a stray puppy that follows you home. At first, you're strongly considering giving it to the pound, but when you look into it's puppy-dog eyes and see what it really is, you decide to keep it.

Tracks that I like from this soundtrack:

Main Titles: Purty cool. The basoon is slightly hypnotic. Good start to the c.d.
Treadstone Assasins: This is a neat track because it's sounds almost James Bondish...But then it's not. Really cool. One of my favorites.
Bourne On Land: Beautiful, wandering. This one is my favorite.
Escape the Embassy: Cool. It's good.
Drive To Paris: This is a cool down from Embassy. It's nice, and the vocals blend in well with the strings.
Hotel Regina: Short, but clever.
The Investigation: Read the above.
At the Farmhouse: Good. What else is there to say?
Bridge Number Nine: My other third favorite. This is a very very smart track. The quiet to loud, running pace blends in nicely together.

All in all: The Bourne Identity is a good IDEA of a score.

T-Bone Burnett has been hard at it since his last record of original songs in 1992: nominated for a songwriting Oscar, winning a production Grammy, composing movie soundtracks, and serving as one of his trade's most valuable studio musicians. But with those most fascinated by his remarkable resume, it's all about the songwriting, and on The True False Identity, Burnett substantiates his role as a composer and performer steeped in traditional American music. Backed by a scrupulous cast of players and drawing on his candidly innovative wordplay, Burnett not only has put the world on notice, he appears far from content with the outlook. "The cat's out of the bag/And it ain't going back," he pleads wearily over a machine-gun drum in "Fear Country," one of several tunes where Burnett enunciates more as dustbowl rapper than west coast songster. His relevant narrations include an undercurrent of religion in law ("Blinded by the Darkness"), the modification of history ("Every Time I Feel the Shift") and a cadenced appraisal of Frank Sinatra and his running buddies ("Palestine, Texas"). Teaming a Dylan-like poetry scheme with a searing guitar lead, "Palestine" begins as a mis chievous nursery rhyme, until Burnett aims his invective at the nation's leaders: "When you come out of this self-delusion/You're gonna need a soul transfusion." Listening to The True False Identity, we've already got ours. --Scott Holter

I don't know Burnett but really liked this CD. It is thought provoking and also satisfying musically.

Middle age, white, goofy-looking Texan guy raps (and rocks!).......2006-11-21

You probably will not like this album when you first listen to it.

I didn't.

... and I literally own every record he's ever made. No kidding.... everything. I'm a huge T-Bone fan and have been since his Alpha Band days.

But this album is different than anything he's done before. Heck, it's different than anything I've ever heard before.

It's kind of genre-bending... it strikes me as either a kind of Texan folk rap or maybe it's just one of the best poetry slams ever. But it's not really folk music and it's not really rock and roll. He doesn't sing a melody in most of the songs... he raps. But this isn't hip-hop rap -- it's white guy rap.

Like with most innovative music, it took me awhile to figure out what he was even trying to do. It doesn't help that I don't really like most rap, because I like a melody to my music.

But I do like a good bluesy jam sessions and he does a lot of that behind his "rapping." Don't think normal rap, though. Burnett isn't trying at all to pretend he's a gangsta rapper -- not that he ever could pull it off!

Instead he "raps" about middle age liberal white guy stuff. Well, that me! So after a bunch of listenings, I figured out the album and now I really like it. It's not my favorite, all-time Burnett album but it is better than his average.

I am deducting one star because -- well -- this is simply not a five star album. Pioneering and brilliant? Yes. An all-time classic? No.

(I should add that my six year old daughter likes it too! I have no idea why. She also likes Raffi.)

So, should you buy this album?

If you're looking for "comfort zone" folk, rock and roll or even rap, you should probably look elsewhere.

If you're a free thinker and looking for something different and innovative -- then this is a CD for you. Who knows? This might be the start of a whole new genre of music and you can say you were on the first floor of the movement.

Grammys - best album (CD)yes0.......2006-11-14

this is potent for an artist who says "i am not important".all Burnett's music has been astounding & important to many (who are comfortable in their own "skin-teeth or otherwise).excellent writing-musicianist-wonderful & think about it songs.I qoute him in everyday speech.Great."Fear Country" & "Paradise are so far the ons I play often.there is no better songwriter in the country in an era of dull w/ the exception of Dylan & Morrison sporadically.Best CD-of thje years in the Grammys-I voted long ago when ya could deny anythin' ya said-I'll stick w/ the T B works.

11th Commandment.......2006-09-13

T-Bone Burnett shares a place with a handful of artists who have strong and devoted followings, but whose music is perhaps too thoughtful to sell huge quantities. Quality is often more important that quantity. Burnett burns on his new set. My favorite track is "Seven Times Hotter Than Fire" with its driving electric guitar and the mesmerizing tromp of T-Bone's burning footsteps, "If I was dead & buried in the cold hard ground, I would rise from the grave & come & track you down." Another favorite is "Baby Don't You Say You Love Me" with a similar tribal beat pulsing and T-Bone's voice emotionally raw, "Every day you haunt me, first you hex me then you taunt me, then you leave me in this twisted misery." These tunes rank with his best work. From T-Bone's early days with the B-52 Bombers to the Alpha Band, T-Bone has pushed the limits with experimentation. On "Blinded by the Darkness" we experience Burnett's talk-sing as the guitars create a wall of chaos in the way he views the current political landscape, "Shouldn't sin be left to the laws of God & to the laws of nature; Can we trust this to the legislature." Similarly on "Every Time I Feel the Shift" Burnett talk-sings his frustrations about popular culture's shallow nature that could forget an 11th Commandment, had there been one. When Burnett rocks as he does on "Zombieland" & "Palestine Texas," his music is cutting edge. "The True False Identity" is an excellent set. Set against the backdrop of his classic catalog, it may shine slightly less. However, on its own merits, it's worth the exploration. Enjoy!

5 stars, 5 times over!.......2006-07-19

"Disappointed" wrote a review giving 1 star after listening only twice? C'mon buddy, I wasn't sure of it after 2 listens either - give it a go. Quite a few listens later, my opinion of this wonderful recording is that it's stupendously good. Highly sophisticated musicianship, amazingly detailed and layered production, every song full of interesting sounds, melodies, rythyms and thoughts. Some rasping, blues-fuelled steamrollers live amongst these songs. Other tracks, just as arresting provide the space to breathe again. The closing song "Shaken Rattled And Rolled" sounds like an awakening disguised as a lament. This is exhilarating stuff and I don't expect there will be a better album in 2006. As classic as Bob Dylan's "Time out of Mind".

Kim Carnes/Mistaken Identity CD.......2005-08-04

I enjoy listening to this CD very much. Bette Davis Eyes and Draw of the Crads will always be one of my favorites. I recommend this CD who is a Kim Carnes fan and even if not Kim Cranes' voice is haunting. I wish there was DVD also!

Album's bonus tracks make it a great retrospective.......2005-05-17

Some fans will complain that this collection doesn't do justice to the husky voiced singer who's been recording since the late 70s for at least 3 different labels. I can't claim to be a big enough fan to buy whole albums of Kim's output so there may be some good stuff I'm missing among her album tracks. But I *do* know the hits...the stuff radio actually does (or did) play and most of what you'll remember from her is here.

HIGHLIGHTS:
The biggest hit is of course 9 week U.S. #1 smash "Bette Davis Eyes" which helped propel the album itself to #1. The song was honoured a few years ago as one of the "Songs of the Century" by the Recording Industry Association of America (only 365 songs were so honoured). Album track "Mistaken Identity" finds Carnes promising she won't be a patsy when her two-timing lover crawls back to her..now that he's been dumped himself. Country-ish torch song "Still Hold On" still sounds fresh. "Break the Rules Tonite" is a sassy one night stand rocker. "My Old Pals" is a softer acoustic counterpart to the sentiment in Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days". Add to these the duet with Kenny Rogers on "Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer", a tasty Top 10 cover of Smokey Robinson's "More Love", and eccentric #15 hit "Crazy in the Night (Barking at Airplanes)" and you've got a nice glance at Carnes' run of 80s hits.

LOWS:
"Don't Call it Love" hasn't aged all that well. (It became a big country hit for Dolly Parton when she covered it so you may recognize the tune). As far as what's missing to make this a better compilation, her duets with Gene Cotton ("You're a Part of Me"), Kenny Rogers and James Ingram ("What about Me?") and Barbara Streisand ("Make No Mistake, He's Mine") would make this more comprehensive. I'd also like to see "It Hurts So Bad" here though it wasn't a sizable chart performer.

BOTTOM LINE:
Better collection of hits than "Gypsy Honeymoon" (ASIN B000008E14) or "The Best" (ASIN B00001IVN4). The average fan will get all they need right here.

Kim's Masterpiece.......2005-04-12

Once you get past the (still) great pop moment of "Bette Davis Eyes", you discover an amazingly entertaining collection. Some of the best love songs of the era are here, like the gorgeous, heart-breaking "Still Hold On", and the synth-driven "Miss You Tonite". The rest of the tracks are all good.."My Old Pals" is all piano and regret, "Hit and Run" is countrified genius, and "Draw of the Cards" weird and haunting. Sadly, Kim never seemed to get back to this level of songs. Five years on from '81, she was trapped in best forgotten pop dreck.

Pop Album #1, Platinum RIAA Album and Grammy Award Winner!.......2005-03-22

"Mistaken Identity" has 10 tracks, 5 of them written or co-written by Kim Carnes.

Album charted as "Pop Albums #1" on 05/02/1981.

4 tracks charted on Billboard tracks:

May 16, 1981 - "Bette Davis Eyes," written by Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon shot to number one in the American charts and reached number seven in Britain.

"Bette Davis Eyes" topped the US charts for an astonishing 9 weeks, earning to Kim her first RIAA gold record in 06/16/1981. "Mistaken Identity" was her first platinum album in 07/16/1981.

February 14, 1982 - "Bette Davis Eyes" won "Record Of The Year" and "Song Of The Year" at the 24th Annual Grammy Awards. Other nominations included "Mistaken Identity" for "Album Of The Year", "Bette Davis Eyes" for "Best Vocal Pop Performance (Female) and Val Garay for "Producer Of The Year (Non-classical).

What Kim Carnes have said about "Mistaken Identity":
"The title of my album MISTAKEN IDENTITY is really a statement of the direction I want to go," she explains. That does not mean she wants to be misunderstood but rather that she feels she has been misunderstood for too long. "Last year everyone pegged me as a country singer because Kenny is. But I want to keep a variety of styles because they all reflect different sides of me. I've always loved rock'n'roll. I'm not a manufactured product. I've made a point of changing."

Kim Carnes had 6 hits charted on Billboard before her smash hit "Bette Davis Eyes". After, she has had 18 charted songs.

She would return to the Top of The Charts with "What About Me" (AC #1), "Make No Mistake, She's Mine" (as songwriter, Country #1) and "The Heart Won't Lie" (as songwriter, Country #1).

the Before And After review.......2003-12-22

Kim Carnes released Mistaken Identity in April 1981

BEFORE:
While she had just recently crossed over to pop-charts the previous year with More Love and her duet with Kenny Rogers, Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer (both of which are bonus tracks here), raspy-voiced Kim Carnes was a seasoned pro. Having written songs for the likes of Barbra Streisand. However, she hadn't yet really had the breakout smash she'd dreamed of yet.

AFTER:
BETTE DAVIS EYES!!! The song spent 9 weeks at #1 on the Billboard chart. The parent album also was a chart-topper. While she'd been around nearly 15 years at this point and was in her mid-30's, Kim Carnes seemed like an overnight sensation. The hits didn't just stop here. She also had hit singles with the trippy new-wave Draw Of The Cards (in my book, one of the weirdest videos ever, VH1 Classic airs it occasionally) and the AC-ish title track.

Kim Carnes is a very underrated artist, and while Bette Davis Eyes was an almost overwhelming success... it's not the only thing she ever did. The other 9 tracks on the album show how eclectic the raspy-voice blonde was. Ranging from rock to country to adult contemporary to even Kraftwerk-ish style new wave.. Kim briefly reached the top of the mountain. Unfortunately the fact she never could duplicate BDE's success became her eventual undoing as a pop star.

This album is almost a self-serving Greatest Hits when considered the bonus tracks. All of the bonus tracks were hits too, More Love, Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer, Voyeur, Invisible Hands, Crazy In The Night, etc... Making it an essential 80's album.

The second volume of the master Warner Bros. cartoon composer's work downplays the head-spinning montage of the first in favor of just-as-head-spinning complete scores. They aren't from the studio's best-known cartoons but from some of Stalling's most impressive tempo-warping, all-systems-go pieces, augmented by a few mini-pieces that illustrate the way he could transform barely familiar show tunes and classical themes into wild, rubbery jokes. Even without images, Stalling could make an orchestra suggest a "Flea-Ridden Sheep Dog" in 24 seconds flat and run enough changes on Stephen Foster's "Camptown Races" to match every mood in a Foghorn Leghorn cartoon. The head-snapping reversals of his scores anticipate much later avant-garde music. --Douglas Wolk

The Carl Stalling Project Vols 1 & 2.......2007-01-11

Are the names Mel Blanc, I. Freleng or Chuck Jones familiar to you? Then you will get a charge out of these albums as they remind you of Warner Brothers cartoons you saw. I even used these albums instead of "spooky music" for the trick-or-treaters at Halloween, and got appreciative comments from the parents who recognized the music. Definitely worth the price of admission.

Better Stalling's CD.......2006-05-09

As well as Stalling Project Part I, These recordings are more modern fidelity, less classic and more musical techniques. The improvisations appreciate me more than Part I. I like all tracks especially one from "Zoom and Bored" Salute Maestro!!!!

The Carl Stalling Project Volume 2.......2005-09-12

More music from Warner Brother Cartoons 1936 to 1958.
Carl Stalling was one of the foremost composers of music for cartoons and wrote virtually all of the scores for Warner Brothers cartoons from 1936 to 1958. This is a compilation of some complete soundtracks and other snippets. In my opinion, this disk is not quite as well done as "The Carl Stalling Project Volume I."

A nice follow up.......2003-03-09

I really did like the slice-and-dice format of the first disc : I think it helped keep that cartoon zaniness without the visuals. I would recommend both volumes - I listen to them alot while I'm programming!

Now, every time I watch cartoons, I listen to the music!.......2001-08-07

Carl Stalling. We all know who he is, but we don't know that we know. Who is he? The guy who did cartoon background music for Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies for more than 20 years, that's who. Maybe you're thinking, "Oh, come on! Cartoon background music??! How good could something so trivial be?!" The answer to that question is.. VERY. Very entertaining. I just love Carl Stalling's great "scores". When you take away the context of it's being CARTOON music and just sit and listen to the damn thing, it's WONDERFUL music in and of itself! He goes from violins and a piano playing "agitato" simultaneously to a single oboe note and back again in five seconds. Not only that. He does that and, as random as it may sound, he mannages to segue it together beautifully. Now, every time I watch cartoons, the thing I pay most attention to is what aural miracles Mr. Stalling sneaked in. Maybe, after listening to this, you will too. If anything will change after you listen to this, it would be that you'll never think of cartoon music as trivial again........That's a GOOD thing.

Album Description

Their 2nd album, released in 2000, defines the sound that Thrice is striving for-the dynamics and emotion of hardcore with the melody and harmony of pop-punk. The 12-track CD has a little something for everyone, ranging from the harmonies of 'In Your Hands', to the pseudo-metal 'Torch to End All Torches', to the post-hardcore feel of 'To What End'. Sub City Records.

Amazing for a low budget album.......2006-08-17

Identity Crisis is my favorite Thrice ablum. Yes it is not as tight and polished than those that followed but that is not due to the band. This album is plagued by crappy production and obviously was recorded by someone who didnt care about the album. In interviews with thrice they are quoted as say the guy who recorded Identity was "more interested in play video games than recording music." With some recording knowledge I completely agree with this statement. If the engineer/producer gave a crap Identity Crisis would have been Illusions of Saftey a year earlier. T & C, Identity Crisis, Ultra Blue, and As the Ruin Falls are the best tracks altough all are great.

Thrice times champion! Wicked Album.......2006-06-24

This is their most gooderest album yet. It doesn't have the best song writting in all but it is their most punkiest album and every song kicks butt. If you like punk, pick this up, if not, pick up all their others. Slow and emotional but the song writting in those albums is phenominal. Up to u. Anyways, this CD rules and you should by it this second. Great album thrice!

Not very tight, but AMAZING!.......2006-03-09

I first heard "To What End" on a compilation a while back and was amazed but also positive that the rest of their music couldn't possibly be as great. Up to that point I had heard so few punk songs (I'm not going to play the genre game- call them screamo or whatever if you want, but if bands like Sum 41 can be called punk I certainly think Thrice can too) that were as meaningful and well written as that song, and I assumed that it was them at their best and would be found on an album full of medicore filler tracks. When I eventually obtained a copy of Identity Crisis I found out just how wrong I was.

I won't say that this is Thrice at their best, but its damn close. Thrice's later work was much more tight than this but I have to say that I really don't mind the guitar solos being all over the place and the lack of song structure. On the one hand its usually a sign of a band lacking maturity to lack a tight structure but in Thrice's case their lyrics and general songwriting do a lot of negate this impression. At the very least it kept things interesting. While in many ways Thrice was playing punk music, their not using the verse/chorus formula along with their use of guitar solos definately contributed to making this more memorable than most punk albums. Generic three cord punk rock this is not.

But more importantly than the structure of the songs or the genre was the songs themselves: they were simply some of the best written songs out there: the opening track with its soft verses and shouted choruses, "T & C" with its great guitar intro, "Ultra Blue"'s guitar work, and a "Torch to End All Torche" and "To What End"'s lyrics. Meaningful lyrics, great music backing it up, and a sound that stands apart not only from other Thrice CD's but from most other punk/posthardcore/screamo- a more than worthy first (full length at least as far as I know) effort.

Now for the bad news. There's isn't much, mostly just the above mentioned lack of song structure which unfortunately makes it sound less mature, but perhaps thats just because people have come to associate tight songs with mature musicianship. The songs also might sound like an early effort because of the contrast between this album's production and that on their later releases. Thats not fair to Thrice, and in the end it doesn't really take anything away from this release. This is essentially Thrice playing punk rock with some hardcore influences which makes it sound more primitive than the post-hardcore sound of later Thrice but which, like the production, doesn't take anything away from this release's quality. A few of the songs are also somewhat weak, for example "A Torch to End All Torches" doesn't get really good until the end. The first part is a sort of generic punk song but then its slows down and after a fairly long instramental Dustin comes back with a completely different sounding ending and lyrics that are as Christian as you can get without sounding overbearing, though its possible that those unfamiliar with Christian imagery won't even recognize it (but "by his grace I am sustained" gave it away for me). A few others aren't quite as amazing as some of the above mentioned ones, though none of them are bad or worthy of skipping.

This was the first Thrice CD I ever heard so I can't say how fans who have heard newer Thrice first will react but at the very least they will like if they don't love it like I do. Its good music, do yourself a favor and buy it.

I love their playfulness, their jumping from Maiden like guitars to punk back to early Metallica. All this in an own way, the Thrice way. the singing gives me the goose bumps and the energy kicks me. I just love it. You have to BUY that album, you have to have an original!

Shelby Lynne wrote, sang, produced, and played all the guitar parts on her mellow, moody, and sonically stripped-down eighth album, Identity Crisis. Surely the title ironically refers to Lynne's eclectic career itself rather than this slow-burning, excellent album, with its lyrics so personal and honest, one feels like a voyeur at times. Identity sounds like a living room session; the demos made for the big album before the hot-shot producer came in and ruined everything. Lynne's voice is as relaxed, assured, and richly emotive as ever, buoyed by acoustic bass and guitars, electric piano, and minimal percussion. Notable deviations from the candlelit vibe include the mid-tempo rocker "Gotta Be Better" (which sounds like PJ Harvey jamming with X), the gospel chorus that peaks through on "10 Rocks" (the record's sole hokey tune), and of course "Lonesome" (a gorgeous old school Nashville-sheen tune that expertly evokes Patsy and Kitty with multi-tracked vocals and sweeping strings). The story goes that a lengthy phone conversation with Willie Nelson led to the lovely, uplifting last tune, "One With The Sun." Which is cool, because if this album is reminiscent of anybody, it's Nelson ca. Red Headed Stranger --Mike McGonigal

Customer Reviews:

Comes across as anything but an identity crisis.......2006-12-21

Identity Crisis comes across as anything but an identity crisis, instead finding Shelby Lynne in top form, focused, and sounding great. OK, maybe the crisis here is that Ms. Lynne runs the gamut from raging rock `n roll to laid back introspection and whatever else lies in between.

Her voice is strong and clear, and her accompanying crew of musicians is clearly on board with her vibe and vision.

I cannot see any value in offering a play-by-play recap of the songs here: just take the time to give this one a few listens and you can supply your own adjectives. Most of them will be quite positive, I suspect.

Treasure-Trove.......2005-04-30

"Identity Crisis" is a good set from Shelby Lynne. The diversity of musical approaches makes the title appropriate. "Gotta Be Better" is an excellent track with some blazing electric lead that lashes the speakers & Lynne's infectious vocals, "And did you ever think you'd ever walk on hallow ground? Don't you like to think that things are lost & never found? Discover all the secrets & head out for the sound. Did you hear the voice that makes your fever?" "I'm Alive" also has a delightful rocking groove, "Oh if I don't get you back, I'll cover up my bloody tracks with sorrow, hopes & hide my dying pride." The dreamy Shelby Lynne does Nick Drake track "If I Were Smart" communicates a soft gentle sadness that Shelby fills exquisitely. "Telephone," "10 Rocks" & "Baby" are all great tracks. With "Suit Yourself" about to hit the market, "Identity Crisis" is still a treasure-trove. Enjoy!

What a GOOD album this is...........2005-03-07

Wow, what a nice surprise. It's the Shelby Lynne album I been waiting for. This album rocks, swoons, gets down like your'e in church, and then some....

Shelby does what she pleases n this album, and it shows. She sounds comfortable with each song, and sounds like she's having fun singing them. A nice stripped down acoustic approach suits these songs perfectly. I fell in love with the coo of her voice a long time ago, and it's all over this album. She hasn't sounded bettter, vocally as she does here. "One with the Sun" has to be the most beautiful track on here. And "Gotta get better" rocks like nothing else I've heard her do. The churning strumming takes you in right away and really rocks. Amazingly there is little percussion on this album and it seems to work just fine. The introspection of "If I were smart" here she examines a situation of the heart, shows a she can still turn a phrase to get her point across.

Now I'm sorry but I don't understand the review calling "10 Rocks" hokey. It's a great song. Why can't Shelby Lynne do a gospel shuffle? Lyle Lovett can and no one says anything. In any event she shows that she has the ability to pull it off.

This album shows the many facets of an amazing artist. An eclectic collection of songs make up a strong, cohesive work. Her talents shine here. The best part is that she produced and played the guitar parts herself. It was as if, to make a really good Shelby Lynne record, she had to do it herself. Good for her! It worked!

(Personally I'd like to hear her re-do "Love Shelby" to sound as pure as this record does. There were some really great songs on that album that could use a personal touch.)

sounds like..........2005-02-11

One night on PBS I heard a girl named michelle shocked doing a country blues set and went out and bought it, at a time when buying a CD meant something, only buying the ones that I thought I would listen to for forever. And I did, for quite a while, the southern style and interesting takes were refreshing. Oddly enough, there is alot of similiar sounds on this CD by Shelby, who I have enjoyed through all her hair color changes. I really thought the previous albums gave a more original, listen to me and throw your head back songs.

Call me Ms. Lynne.......2004-12-22

The first time I saw Shelby Lynne she was on some award show with Sheryl Crow several years ago. She was out singing her and sexier and trashier and all that. She was kicking [...] and Crow was like she always was, pretty flat singing but technically great of course and rather dull. Back then Shelby was more Gretchen Wilson than Gretchen Wilson is now. Then I went out and bought that album with Shelby on the front in cutoffs and all tanned and blonde. Love, Shelby. Yes, sir. The cover was a lot better than the music, I thought.
Then awhile back I saw this woman on television. The Directv screen said it was Shelby Lynn. No, it wasn't. Shelby Lynne was that singer who looks like the most attractive single mother in that bar across the street from the Chrysler Plant, cigarette in hand, and she bends over a pool table.
The woman Directv said was Shelby Lynne looked like an androgynous Bell Hop in a fancy New York hotel. That couldn't be Shelby!
There was no tan on this woman. Her hair was white, not blonde. What a transition! But then I bought Identity Crisis. What an album! It blew that cheap-o album produced by Mr. Morrisette,( what's his name?) out of the water.
Shelby's transition was probably less a fear of skin cancer than the types of crowds she was drawing. (Hey, boys! Shelby's up there! Got some chew?)
This album brings Ms. Lynne to the place she should be. Bluesy, and country. Shades of Willie Nelson and Patsy Cline and even a little Buddy Guy.
Shelby's identity crisis is our musical windfall. This is a textured, brilliantly understated album that shows just how talented Shelby is. She goes back to her roots or maybe just discovers her roots. 6 stars. (But does she really say Flo for floor?)

Album Description

Over the last year and a half Pelt has been writing compositions that would help define his musical direction. These compositions were written specifically for various acoustic and electric configurations. Identity features a core band of Frank LoCrasto (piano, Fender Rhodes, Hammond B-3 & Clavinet), Vicente Archer (bass), and Eric McPherson (drums). Guest artist appearances are by Mike Moreno (guitar), Warren Wolf (vibes) and Myron Walden (soprano saxophone & bass clarinet).

The recording presents over 70 minutes of fresh repertoire. Pelt's upbeat "Re-invention" opens the session with the quartet. The group slows things down with "Eddie's Story" dedicated to Dr. Eddie Henderson. This piece allows Pelt to exhibit his fluid phrasings on the flugelhorn. The pace quickens with the first electric offering titled "Seek". The vibrant composition "Suspicion" follows, giving Pelt a chance to improvise while the rhythm section vamps before guitarist Mike Moreno slows it down with a tasty, straight-ahead solo. Pelt then pays tribute to the recently deceased pianist, James Williams, with "Eye of the Beholder", a ballad that features subtle effects between the trumpet and Fender Rhodes. The quartet becomes a quintet with the addition of vibist Warren Wolf on the straight-ahead composition "Celestial," that features a nice solo from bassist Vicente Archer. Wolf and the quartet pick up the pace on "Angular," which is a roller-coaster of a ride highlighted by trading between Pelt and Wolf. The pace slows dramatically for the beautiful ballad "Haiku" that showcases Pelt's breathtaking use of space as well as his delicate sound on the muted trumpet. "Scorpio" and "Dusk" close the session with the help of Myron Walden and Moreno. The two compositions are filled with effects, and the music moves into an electric freefall as the inventive and eclectic session comes to a close.

Tasty, more like 3.5 stars.......2006-02-26

Jeremy Pelt is an excellent trumpet player, and Identity is an album of orginal songs with an electronic flavor. Mr. Pelt uses some suble electronic effects on his trumpet in some songs, and there is a lot of electric piano. It's hardly as electronic as Nicholas Payton's "Sonic Trance", more in line with Dave Douglas' "Keystone". This is a good album, I give it 3.5 stars. If a few of the weaker songs were taken off, it would be a 4 star album on the strength of songs like "Re-Invention", "Suspicion", "Scorpio", and "Angular". The overall mood of the album is laid-back, similar to "Close To My Heart". Mr. Pelt can play fast, loud, and high with the best of them, but he seems to prefer playing tastier. If you're more curious about Jeremy Pelt, or this album, he has a ton of live downloads on his website.

A Near Miss.......2005-09-16

Jeremy Pelt's follow up to the syrupy "Close to My Heart" works about half the time. While Pelt clearly has "chops" his composition skills are simply not up to the task of 73 minutes of music. Perhaps a standard or two or the addition of some other tunes could have allowed Pelt to do what he really does quite well,BLOW. Not that the cd doesn't have it's moments.It does. Pelt seems to shine in the more "cooperative" pieces like Eddie's Story and Eye of the Beholder.
Perhaps Mulgrew Miller[a Maxjazz regular] would have helped. As is the supporting cast supports but can't seem to elevate Pelt on several "fillers". While we're on the subject of "fillers" when did it become mandatory to produce 73 minutes of music.Clearly Identity suffers from having 3 or 4 too many mediocre tunes which should have been ommitted or replaced by better compositions.Other recent releases[Joshua Redman,Dave Douglas,etc] are guilty of excess tunes that seemed tossed in. Jeremy Pelt is close. If he can avoid the schmaltz of "all strings"[Close to My Heart] and modify the ambition of all original compositions[Identity],than he would have found a balance to showcase his large talent.
Perhaps the next time. I'm rooting for him. Not reccommended.
