An album unto itself. Cello, lap steel, guitar and vocals. "Love Me Like the Devil' is a simple record that is both haunting and beautiful.
8 MP3 Songs
FOLK: Gentle, COUNTRY: Country Folk
Details:
With a name like Leatherbag (and his backing band âThe Cowsâ), you might expect a rollicking, honkey-tonk sound or even a loud and crass hell-billy rock. In actuality, however, the songs on Love Me Like the Devil are all soft and slow folk narratives, deftly written and understatedly delivered with a mournful cello and slide-guitar backing.
Leatherbagâs voice is rough hewn with a weariness expressed in the best folk songs, but the scratchiness of his singing isnât overpowering. Rather it shades these songs gently with age and a wise-beyond-his-years sound in the vein of William Elliot Whitmore. The songs also move with a mysterious, slightly uneven phrasing that makes it seem as if only he could properly sing them. But those unique inflections and pauses also keep the songs interesting and rewarding amid the albumâs overall lack of variation.
The opening track, âTennessee,â may be the best on the album. Like Springsteenâs âThe Riverâ or âThunder Road,â the destination becomes an illusion of escape and hope, filtered through a lonesome memory: âCruising down the highway listening to my daddyâs stereo / Lou Reedâs singinâ a song that both of us know / She said this is alright with me / I can follow these jagged lines all the way to Tennessee.â The droning cello and quivering slide guitar give the songs the feel of late night cigarettes smoking out a solitary heartbreak, and even a love song like âKarrieâs Songâ is tinged with a feeling of longing and loss.
Leatherbagâs songwriting hovers on the edges of Cohen and Dylan, especially on the brilliant âJenny from Milwaukee.â His best songs also seem to recall Richard Bucknerâs Bloomed in their atmosphere and lyrics, and a touch of Smogâs recent work in their intensity. But those comparisons should only emphasize the singularity of Leatherbagâs songwriting and the exceptionalness of the album.
