Review

None of Robbie Fulks's previous releases anticipated the range of moods, melodies, approaches, and arrangements on display here, from the traditional balladry of the album-opening "In Bristol Town One Bright Day" through the supper-club elegance of "She Needs You Now." His first CD for his own Boondoggle label defies categorization, though you could plot its ambitions on an axis that extends from the sophistication of Paul Simon ("My Tormentor") and the bite of Elvis Costello ("Mad at a Girl," "I've Got to Tell Myself the Truth") through the Southern soul of Lucinda Williams ("Real Money") and the industrial clang of Tom Waits ("Brenda's New Stepfather"). As the title suggests, love's darker side provides the connecting conceptual thread, with most of the material striking a note of bittersweet maturity rather than the sardonic streak so prevalent in Fulks's earlier work. --Don McLeese "Couples in Trouble" is a collection of 12 songs, each of which presents, well, couples in trouble. The stories vary and as the stories and characters come from all over, so does the music, jumping from pop, rock, bluegrass, country and back again. Nevertheless these styles are effortlessly crafted together to clarify and color each scenario.
