There are two kinds of pot roast-one that's just meat and one that's sizzling in all sorts of chopped up ingredients like carrots, kale, onions, bell peppers and celery, plus a few bones of mysterious origin for a flavorful twist. R. C. Banks is, musically, the second kind. The Austin music veteran throws all sorts of nasty licks, like sweaty harmonica blasts and accordion notes that are almost drunk in their yearning, over his Waitsian observations on the new "Conway's Corner."
Structurally and lyrically, blues ballad "More Than the World To Me" is a musical figure eight, but there's so much invention between the notes that it sounds like nothing you've heard before. "If you know what love is, then you know what's right," Banks growls on "Now's the Time," sounding very much like he knows what's right. On "Pecan Trees," he sings about a girl who passes the tip jar without being asked and it sounds much more romantic than if he described her eyes as precious stones.
Do Banks a favor. No, do yourself a favor and buy this, one of the most invigorating CDs to pull up a chair and twist one off in a long time. ~Austin American-Statesman
