Review

With the firepower title and powerhouse supporting cast--including Lucinda Williams, Tift Merritt, and the Jayhawks' Gary Louris--listeners might expect something a little more explosive than the stripped-down acoustic folk of most of this release. Tim Easton's songwriting can be as elliptical and enigmatic as the opening "Black Dog" or as straightforward as "Next to You," where the harmonies with Merritt have a pillow-talk intimacy. He pays homage to Bob Dylan with "News Blackout" (the protest side) and "C-Dub" (the bluesier side), and to folk-blues tradition with the closing "Sitting on Top of the World." Elsewhere, he extends the range of his material from the bittersweet kiss-off of "I Wish You Well" to the prayerful irony of "J.P.M.F.Y.M." ("Jesus, protect me from your followers"). The backing is typically so understated that the arrangements are almost subliminal, though Williams's vocal support on "Back to the Pain" seems more foreground than background to Easton's wispy, reedy voice, and the rock of "Not Today" seems all the more propulsive amid what surrounds it. --Don McLeeseSinger/songwriter Tim Easton is back with his most compelling CD to date, Ammunition. Ammunition was recorded over two years in locations as diverse as Cleveland, Minneapolis, Alaska and Joshua Tree, California, it draws upon a broad-minded point of view developed over years of globe-trotting. From the streets of Prague where people casually drop the phrase "Before the revolution…" or the wilds of Alaska where young men can be lured into too much escapism or the gutters of Amsterdam, where a psychedelic hangover feels strangely comfortable, Easton sends postcards home in the form of honest songs, honestly recorded.
