Graham Coxon - The Golden D - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Produced by the team of Brian Brinkerhoff, Dave Roe and Jared Tyler, 'Tricks of the Trade' finds Malcolm's trademark growl and impeccable lyrics surrounded by a great studio band that includes Roe on bass and longtime musical cohort, Tyler on electric guitar, dobro, and background vocals. With Holcombe's uncanny ability to tap into the collective consciousness of a nation that is currently starving for anything that can latch onto and help soothe it's soul, these songs are among the best in his illustrious catalog. Adding to the depth and beauty of the album are special guest vocalists, Mary Gauthier and Jaimee Harris.Disc 1 Money Train / Misery Loves Company / IntoThe Sunlight / Crazy Man Blues / Your Kin / Damn RainyDay / Higher Ground / Good Intentions / On TennesseeLand / Lenora Cynthia / Tricks Of The Trade / / ShakyGround and Bonus track Windows Of Amsterdam

Arriving in 2002, Graham Coxon's fourth solo album presented an audible stepping up of both the guitarist's songwriting and arranging skills. 'Baby You're out of My Mind's deft fingerpicking nodded to early Bob Dylan, 'Locked Doors' grooved along a loose R&B boogie, while 'It Ain't No Lie's pared-back riffs were cut from a similar cloth to then newly emerging duo The White Stripes. Less of a DIY affair than it's predecessors the album features pedal steel player B.J. Cole and Louis Vause on keyboards, whhelped to fully flesh out the eclectic fare on offer. InchI felt free to do whatever I wanted to do.
