New Album Releases, 2-20-2007: Charlie Louvin, Arab Strap, JJ Grey & Mofro
I'm only seeing one even vaguely promising new record this week, and I'm skeptical of that. Seventy-nine year old Charlie Louvin has his first album in 10 years. His prime time was the 40s and 50s, with his late brother Ira. The only new song in this batch is a tribute to "Ira." On the other hand, he's got some groovy singing partners here, including Elvis Costello and Tom T Hall.

This includes a new recording of "The Great Atomic Power." The Amazon reviewer described "bursts of guitar feedback" on this as "absurd." I'd be interested in judging that for myself, however, as this has long been my favorite Louvin Brothers song - and one of the truly scariest country songs ever to me. It's not that it's about nuclear war, but that you can hear the conviction - quite reasonable for a believing Christian - that "God will surely save his children from this awful, awful fate" by calling the rapture and bringing the believers home when the bombs start flying.

Past that, the next most interesting thing for this batch would be to make fun of an Andy Dick standup comedy album, but I'm not going to. They're going to have to come up with more interesting records than this sub-K-Fed talent to even merit the effort of mockery.
