StonesのJumpin' Jack Flashのイントロは、キレのいい感じを出したくて音が伸びないアコギにしたのだとか。そんなアコギのかっこよさを知り尽くした人たちによる演奏。もちろんエレキも(激渋に)使ってるけど、主役はアコギかと。いや、主役はどこにもいない。唄もいいし、ベースもいいし、ドラムもいい。かと言って趣味に走るわけでもなく、ちゃんと聞き手のことも考えてる。 それにしても、なんとも繊細できめ細やかな指さばき。めちゃめちゃうまい。
There is enough talent in this loose aggregation of Austin musicians to label them a (gasp!) supergroup, a title that I am certain they would loath. I originally got into this band because a hero of mine, the late ,great Stephen Bruton was a member. As good as Bruton's songs are, the other members' songs are equally good. If you enjoy good,Folksy/Bluesy songs, performed by guys who really listen to each other, you cannot go wrong with The Resentments. Please enjoy and remember Stephen Bruton!
