Richman's songwriting has gained an unexpected maturity and sophistication as he's entered his fifties, especially as he began writing and singing in Spanish and French, as well as English, and though he's long aimed for instrumental simplicity, peeling his recordings back to just a guitar and percussion, as on his recent albums, has given them a spare, stark quality that points to the deeper hues of the melodies and the greater gravity of the lyrics. 2010's O Moon, Queen of Night on Earth plays like a gesture by Richman to bring back a bit of the playfulness of his classic-era material to his current approach to record-making. He doesn't sound like he's moved backward at all, but he hasn't written a song as openly witty and self-depreciating as "My Affected Accent" in years, and if "These Bodies That Came to Cavort" is more consciously poetic than something like "Dancing at the Lesbian Bar," the joie de vivre that informed the earlier song shines through, as do the high-spirited rhythms of "Sa Voix M'Atisse." The majority of the album features just Richman's acoustic guitar and Tommy Larkins' drumming, and they continue to be a fine match, reinforcing the musicality in one another, and they provide gentle but strong support for Richman's songs, bringing out the drama in the melodies and the sensuality and wonder that play such a major role in his lyrics. O Moon, Queen of Night on Earth reveals that Jonathan Richman has grown as an artist, but not at the expense of his humanity or his humor, and just as his music has always come straight from the heart, the artfulness of this music comes not from pretension, but from an artist honestly expressing himself, and doing so with both intelligence and compassion. It's a quietly brilliant work from a singular songwriter. ~ Mark Deming, RoviHide synopsis
Description:BRAND NEW. 2010 release from the legendary singer/songwriter...BRAND NEW. 2010 release from the legendary singer/songwriter and former leader of The Modern Lovers. Featuring Jonathan s longtime collaborator Tommy Larkins on drums, the album reveals a shift in direction for Richman. As the title suggests, this outing finds Richman looking up to the lonely night sky during the wee small hours-when time slows down and everything is as melancholy as it is beautiful. The album artwork acts in kind, with Richman s own paintings suggesting a veil of muted moonlight. Through his songs, Richman invites the listener down this dim and starry path. With O Moon, Queen of Night on Earth, Jonathan Richman again shows himself to be an evolving artist whose ears are wide open to the language of the world.
