Venturing
into
a
music
store
on
occasion,
to
me,
brings
about
some
serious
decisions.
On
my
last
visit,
I
proceeded
to
look
for
any
Cd,
not
knowing
what
exactly
I
was
looking
for.
Lorrie
Morgan's
Cd
"Greater
Need"
called
my
name.
After
reading
the
back
it
became
obvious
to
me
that
I
did
not
recognize
any
songs
or
even
remotely
think
I
did.
I
decided
to
take
a
chance
because,
to
my
knowledge,
Lorrie
Morgan
was
supposed
to
be
excellent.
After
getting
home,
I
placed
the
Cd
in
the
stereo
and
began
to
listen.

Every
time,
I
enter
my
favourite
music
store,
I
pass
by
hundreds
of
cds.
Their
covers
look
up
at
me
like
puppies
in
a
window,
begging
to
be
picked
up.
This
time
I
picked
one
up.
The
Lemonheads
sounded
familiar
somehow,
and
then
it
hit
me.
These
are
the
guys
who
hit
it
big
for
their
remake
of
Mrs.
Robinson
a
few
years
back
and
had
subsequent
popularity
with
the
album
"IT'S
A
SHAME
ABOUT
RAY".
Chief
Lemonhead,
Evan
Dando
(who
is
on
the
Empire
Records
Soundtrack),
makes
up
the
one
constant
member
of
the
band,
picking
up
different
people
for
almost
every
different
album,
this
time
being
drummer
Murph
(from
Dinosaur
Jr.),
bass
player
Bill
Gibson
(from
Aussie
punk
bands
Eastern
Dark
and
New
Christs)
and
guitar
player
John
Strohm
(who
has
the
distinction
of
being
a
three-time
Lemonheads).
"Car
Button
Cloth"
carries
within
it's
listening
span
a
fair
deal
of
jangly
pop-like
If
I
Could
Talk
I'd
Tell
You,
which
is
the
first
release
off
the
album.
This
is
the
first
song
that
works
with
some
slightly
off-key
whistling,
but,

ceeded
to
forget
that
it
was
there,
which,
is
not
a
good
sign.
On
first
listen,
well
actually
second,
one
would
categorize
this
Cd
into
the
dinner
or
background
music
section.
But
as
I
listened
to
it
a
few
more
times,
in
order
to
be
able
to
write
this
review,
I
realized
that
there
is
actually
some
good
material
coming
out
of
that
little
disc.
Lorrie
Morgan's
other
Cd's
for
those
of
you
who
know,
have
an
upbeat
rhythm
which
contains
catchy
lyrics
that
cannot
be
ignored.
This
album
of
Morgan's
contains
the
same
catchy
lyrics
but
it
is
lacking
in
the
"upbeat
rhythm".
At
first
this
posed
a
problem
for
me,
but
after
listening
closely,
I
found
I
really
enjoyed
the
Cd,
upbeat
rhythm
or
not.
The
songs
are
very
similar
in
style
to
other
works
of
Morgan's,
yet
they
all
have
a
unique
presence
which
captivates
an
audience.
Among
my
favorites
are:
Soldier
Of
Love,
Stepping
Stones
(featuring
Travis
Tritt
and
Vince
Gill),
Good
As
I
Was
To
You,
and
Back
Among
The
Living.
I
recommend
that
you
country
fans
out
there
invest
in
this
album
and
I
assure
you,
although
it
may
take
a
few
listens,
you
will
love
it.
CLOTH
into
being
more
loved
because
any
crappy,
old
whistler
(such
as
myself)
can
join
along
without
fear.
I
instantly
fell
in
love
with
the
honest
brutality
in
The
Outdoor
Type,
in
which
he
(Tom
Morgan,
who
penned
the
song)
admits
to
lying
to
being
the
outdoor
type
in
order
to
get
a
girl
to
like
him,
leading
to
the
beautiful
line
of
"I
can't
go
away
with
you
on
a
rock
climbing
weekendwhat
if
somethings
on
TV
and
it's
never
shown
again".
Then
completely
doing
a
180-degree
turn
comes
Secular
Rockulidge
which
sounds
like
a
misplaced
song
at
first,
but
we
are
then
reminded
that
one
cannot
live
on
pop
alone,
one
needs
to
rock
once
in
a
while
too.
In
the
end,
The
Lemonheads
have
succeeded
in
creating
an
album
packed
with
catchy
songs,
that
upon
further
inspection
lead
the
listener
to
scratch
one's
head
because
of
the
strangeness
of
the
lyrics.
6ix
for
example
is
about
Gwyneth
Paltrow's
head
at
the
end
of
the
movie
Seven.
And
if
I
had
the
chance
to
do
it
all
over,
I
would
pick
the
cd
up
again,
in
a
heartbeat!
