artist:jenny Lewis
album:acid tongue
i cannot believe that i have made it nearly halfway through the year and haven't mentioned jenny's solo stuff yet. i suppose that goes to show the immensity of my collection, or something.
i adore jenny Lewis. i don't think that there's ever been a question about this. i think i might like to be her. i definitely would like to be able to sing like she can.
of her two solo albums, acid tongue is the one i call up to the big leagues more often. i think its because its got more of an alt-country/folk-y sound to it, and i totally dig that. though, in all seriousness, i dig anything that jenny lends her voice to. this is turning into such a fangirl rant. sorry.
i wanted to write more about this album, but i just looked outside and saw the fog and i kind of want to go play with my camera now, so ill just tell you that while i love all of the songs on this album, the song carpetbaggers makes me dance every single time i hear it. there is also a line in the song acid tongue that i kind of really love.
"'Cause I've been down to Dixie
and dropped acid on my tongue
tripped upon the land 'til enough was enough"
i don't know why i love that lyric so much, but i really, really do. i think it reminds me of bonnaroo.
here. listen to jenny and Elvis Costello sing carpetbaggers at bonnaroo two years ago. you might love it as much as i do.
