Synopsis

Album Description
UK pressing of the 2009 album from the Country star. Red Revelations is a work of rare accomplishment and abandon, brimming with barely-contained emotions and urges. They are pervasive in the music, the voice and the songwriting. ÿEverett's music evokes the complex, vividly emotional and often over-heated works of Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles, Jim Morrison and Marvin Gaye, among others, precisely because it so plainly springs from the same sources of inspiration, contradiction and risk. Indiana-born and Texas-raised Everett's upbringing in the evangelical church, and his far-flung travels are apparent in his songs. All of this accounts for Everett's unique resonance: on record, on stage and combined with the visual work of other creative minds, which is set to propel him towards a big future. Humphead.
 

CD Reviews

Come for the Bad Things, stay for The Good Life
Lindsay Carruth | Atlanta, GA | 07/05/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Jace Everett's voice is beautiful and growly; a dark, smoky, rich thunder that makes my face twitch gleefully. Some songs are thick and howly (One of Them), others slow and sensuous (Damned If I Do), and some paint scenes that are simultaneously distant and intimate (The Good Life).



This is what country music is supposed to be.



This is the heat and sweat, the thick air of the south, the bass and beat that filters out into the parking lot of a smoke-filled bar. This is the music of open-windowed road trips in beat-up trucks held together with duct tape and a prayer. This is the illicit love child of religious fervor and heated passions.



This is the good stuff."
