CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com With the firepower title and powerhouse supporting cast--including Lucinda Williams, Tift Merritt, and the Jayhawks' Gary Louris--listeners might expect something a little more explosive than the stripped-down acoustic folk of most of this release. Tim Easton's songwriting can be as elliptical and enigmatic as the opening "Black Dog" or as straightforward as "Next to You," where the harmonies with Merritt have a pillow-talk intimacy. He pays homage to Bob Dylan with "News Blackout" (the protest side) and "C-Dub" (the bluesier side), and to folk-blues tradition with the closing "Sitting on Top of the World." Elsewhere, he extends the range of his material from the bittersweet kiss-off of "I Wish You Well" to the prayerful irony of "J.P.M.F.Y.M." ("Jesus, protect me from your followers"). The backing is typically so understated that the arrangements are almost subliminal, though Williams's vocal support on "Back to the Pain" seems more foreground than background to Easton's wispy, reedy voice, and the rock of "Not Today" seems all the more propulsive amid what surrounds it. --Don McLeese Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsSOME BEAUTIFUL STUFF R. Burach | NJ | 07/26/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "I'M AMAZED THAT NO ONE HAS REVIEWED THIS GORGEOUS DISC YET. I WAS NOT A FAN OF HIS LAST CD BUT THIS NEW ONE HAS SOME OF THE PRETTIEST ACOUSTIC TUNES I HAVE HEARD IN A LONG TIME. THE REASON FOR THE 4 STAR RATING IS BECAUSE OF THE VERY DYLAN HIGHWAY 61 STUFF SOUNDS TO FAMILIAR.GREAT VOCALS BY LUCINDA WILLIAMS AS WELL AS DRUMMING BY JAYHAWKS TIM O'REAGAN." TIM EASTON SAYS IT RIGHT! Ode Lady | 11/09/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a great album-I love his others-but this one hits some very real places within me. Tim's guitar playing is as crisp and clear as ever...his words are amazing-bringing the listener to their own Inside, a real luxury, to just glide on his tunes and simmer in the feelings that his music allows to surface. Tim, ya done good.......again." Safer Place Lee Armstrong | Winterville, NC United States | 06/19/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "Tim Easton's "Ammunition" sneaks up on you. It's a soft affair, easy to overlook its excellence. "Oh People" is one of those lovely tracks that jump alive the more you listen, "There's no safer place to be." He follows this with another delightful ballad, "Next to You," "I want to wake up singing every word you said." "I've watched you fall in love with anyone who would talk to you," Tim sings with Lucinda Williams on background vocals on "Back to the Pain." "Before the Revolution" has some sweet finger picking and a simple melody that works with Easton's understated delivery. "J.P.M.F.Y.F." wryly comments on the dangers of religious fanaticism. "C-Dub" sounds like "Blonde On Blonde" era Dylan with a bluesy talk-sing. Easton concludes with a sad reading of "Sitting On Top of the World." "Ammunition" is a good disc that seeps into consciousness with repeated listenings. Easton's muse is in good form. Enjoy!"
