Review

For most of the 1980s, Don Dixon was one of the hippest producers around, an "American Nick Lowe" who worked the overlap where alternative rock met roots-rock. He produced or co-produced important albums for R.E.M., Marshall Crenshaw, the Smithereens, and his future wife Marti Jones as well as producing several fine recordings for himself. Then he seemed to disappear. And Romantic Depressive, his first album of new songs in six years, makes for an underwhelming comeback. Romantic Depressive is not a terrible album, for Dixon hasn't lost his knack for reviving the simple joys of the frat-rock and blue-eyed soul acts of the mid-'60s. A few songs here--especially "Angel Angel," "What You Saw," and "Never Slow Down"--boast a rhythmic snap and real hooks. They're as good as anything he's ever done, but there's just too much filler around them. --Geoffrey Himes
