Finally, here's a review of the new Jenny Lewis CD, Acid Tongue, that was supposed to run in this week's issue of The Reader along with three local CD reviews. They all got pushed back to next week, so hear's a sneak peek, just in time for Lewis' opening slot for Conor Oberst Saturday night at The Anchor Inn.
Jenny Lewis, Acid Tongue (Warner Bros) -- Her debut, Rabbit Fur Coat, was a lark that ended up being one of the best albums of '06 -- far better than any current Rilo Kiley output. This one isn't so much a sophomore slump as a flat spot on the shopping-cart wheel of life she so accurately captures in her music. We get Lewis' usual femme fatales -- the used-up should-have-known-better vamps confessing their indiscretions with downcast eyes and a wry, secret smile. The slow songs are the best; the rest sound like experiments in genre appreciation (or nostalgia). Trailer park neighbors include a twangy Elvis Costello sounding like a gawkish Tom Petty. Overall, more evidence that Lewis is this generation's Nancy Sinatra wearing boots not of shiny, shiny leather but of the silver-toed variety. Rating: Yes (Reader rating: Three stars)
