Cry Cry - Grant-Lee Phillips
from the album The Narrows (2016)
I have found myself absorbed in the song Cry Cry by Grant Lee Buffalo over the past few days.
There are so many things I dig about this song. In no particular order:
--> The tempo is slow, giving the song space. I can almost hear an imaginary metronome saying "tic-toc, tic-toc"
--> The way the vocals hang out the word "cry" flashes a hint of Chris Isaak.
--> The intro has a beat and vibe that takes me back to Springsteen's I'm On Fire
--> The meter of the vocals in the verse have a Robert Plant quality
--> The tone of the lead guitar and how it hangs a little bit behind the beat
But the thing I dig most is how this song maintains a sense of originality within its alt-country noir framework. For those who admire Grant-Lee Buffalo, this song makes a great addition to your ever-evolving playlist. For those who are less familiar, dive in.
