Freakwater - Thinking Of You
Review
Freakwater invariably make records easily distinguishable from one another while maintaining their signature sound and their own uniquely skewed take on honky-tonk, bluegrass, or country-politan,. On Thinking of You they join together with Thrill Jockey label mates Califone, creating an album both modern and timeless in its instrumentation and sentiment. Recorded with engineer Graeme Gibson and produced by Califone wizard Tim Rutili at Clava Studios in Chicago, Freakwater used their core set up of Irwin and Bean on vocals and guitar, David Gay on bass and Jon Spiegel on pedal steel. They are joined on all songs by varying combinations of Califone members: Joe Adamik piano, horns), Tim Rutili (guitars - electric and otherwise, pump organ, vocals), Ben Massarella (percussion, drums), and Jim Becker (fiddle, string arrangements, piano, vocals, organ, electric guitar). With additional help from Graeme Gibson (organ), Evelyn Weston (saw), Jacob Smith (piano) and James Elkington (electric guitar), Freakwater seem to be at home and stronger than ever in the company of these musicians.
