Synopsis

Product Description

The songs on WINGS invite the listener to comprehend the universe with a modern introspective eye. Exploring themes surrounding the conflict between family and career, love and work, parents and children, the music is based in classic folk rock, with touches of atmospheric guitar, cello, saxophone, trumpet, banjo and Hammond organ. "...penetrating portraits of compromise and vulnerability inspire heavy soul-searching. Eloquent lyrics and mood-conjuring instrumentation... a must for listeners seeking AN ENDURING ALTERNATIVE to the ephemeral fluff ruling the airwaves." ~Entertainment Weekly

CD Reviews

The Philadelphia Inquirer - EMOTIONAL RICHNESS ENHANCED BY W

A Music Fan | 03/22/2010

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Will Kimbrough is a Nashville cat who's not as well-known as most of the artists for whom he has played an integral role as sideman, songwriter, and producer - Jimmy Buffett, Rodney Crowell, and Todd Snider, to name a few. But the artist who shares front man duties with Tommy Womack in the roots-rocking DADDY is also an estimable talent in his own right, as he shows on his fifth solo set.

WINGS is an album whose loose theme - the push and pull on a musician who is also a family man - could produce the worst kind of singer-songwriter solipsism. But Kimbrough avoids that trap. From the unabashedly uplifting folk of the title song (written with Buffett) to the lazy J.J. Cale-style groove of "It Ain't Cool" (written with Snider) and the luscious, horn-kissed soul of "Open to Love," the Alabama native presents a collection whose emotional richness is enhanced by its well-crafted musical mix - and the presence of such female singers as Jonell Mosser, Lisa Oliver Gray, and Dawn Kinnard.
