CD review: Jim Bob, What I Think About… (The Ten Forty Sound)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The low-slung swaggering “My New Walk” is a damning dissection of masculinity that has a cumulative power like no other rock song I’ve heard in recent years.
“Monster in a Tracksuit” cuts to the bone of the Savile case while raising a guilty smile (too soon? Not for our JB).
And then, along with the Ramones-tempo rockers, there’s an off-kilter ballad or two of touching simplicity.
The whole is then wrapped up in charming chamber-orchestra string arrangements that gratefully acknowledge a debt to the late 1960s/early 1970s sound of The Beatles and T. Rex.
This short, sharp album is the best thing (including his on-off involvement with Carter USM) that the man has ever recorded.
