Editorial Review: Product Description: Femme fatale Jenny Lewis has never sounded so passionate and her songs never so hard-hitting and acerbic as on her aptly titled solo disk, Acid Tongue. The album follows 2006's Rabbit Fur Coat (which Spin named among the best albums of that year) and a series of acclaimed albums with indie rock fave Rilo Kiley. Featuring collaborations with A Band Called She & Him and guest appearances by Elvis Costello and Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes, Acid Tongue proves to be wicked good. Amazon.com: Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins took their cues from legendary singer/songwriter Lauro Nyro in crafting the intimate, gospel-country Rabbit Fur Coat. The all-star Acid Tongue represents something bigger and darker. Without abandoning her roots, Rilo Kiley's front woman adds more soul and jazz weaponry to her musical arsenal, culminating in a record that combines the folky introspection of Joni Mitchell, circa Court and Spark, with the bluesy rock of the Rolling Stones, circa Sticky Fingers, i.e. slide guitar, Hammond B3 organ, and funk-oriented bass (Lewis contributes piano, vibraphone, and guitar). Even her voice sounds richer; deeper and smokier on some songs, like the noirish, nine-minute medley "The Next Messiah," and lighter and brighter on others, like the soaring "Black Sand" and yearning, Bowie-ish "Trying My Best to Love You." Recorded live to tape, the 11 tracks come hurtling out of the speakers like Wild Horses. Duet partners and backing vocalists include Jonathan Rice, Chris Robinson, and Lewis super-fan, Elvis Costello. Frequent collaborator M. Ward drops by to add acoustic licks to the slinky "Pretty Bird." With this second album, Lewis strikes a masterful balance between tough sounds and tender sentiments. --Kathleen C.

 Rating:  - Tugs at your heart...well-written pieces of workThere's no need to give this album an extensive review because it speaks for itself. Jenny Lewis can sing, play music, and also write creatively. Go out and buy this album. The recording is not too slick and it's not cheap sounding at all. Great albums like this remind me of the reasons why I DON'T listen to the radio. Rating: - Jenny Lewis & Elvis Costello ...cool...I have totally enjoyed this album! Fits well with the winter tunes! ..and.. Elvis Costello! Rating: - Jenny Lewis Does it AGAIN!Amazing record... Absolutely amazing. CD favorites include: Acid Tongue (obviously), Jack Killed Mom, Carpetbaggers, Messiah... Rating: - Strong, ambitious effortOn Acid Tongue, Jenny Lewis delivers a strong collection of diverse and ambitious songs, highlighting her pleasant vocals and songwriting skills. The first two songs are not particularly memorable but starting with "The Next Messiah" its all gold. Styles range from the stripped down harmonies of the title song, the country rock of "Carpetbaggers"(a duet with the suddenly ubiquitous Elvis Costello), and the radio friendly ballad "Godspeed", about a friend in an abusive relationship. Thematically ...

Those rhythmic one-liners, penned while touring for her breakout debut, 2006's Rabbit Fur Coat, say an awful lot about the Rilo Kiley front woman. She's somewhat of a girly girl; she likes rock n' roll and isn't afraid of its time-tested clichés; she's ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
