Google Translate: Tom Dyer is a musical handyman and do-it-yourselver ‘who plays all the instruments himself, composing his own songs and she also provides vocals. His recent blues-inspired album “I Ain’t Blue Anymore” consists of thirteen songs including a traditional with gospel blues song “John The Revelator” and two cover versions, notably “The Witch” by ‘The Sonics’ (see video) and “Smithsonian Institute Blues (Or The Big Dig) “by Captain Beefheart from his album” Lick My Decals Off, Baby “.
In the summer of 2011 began Tom Dyer in his home studio in Seattle to the recording of this album which is now available in a fully finished version was released to the world. If he is not shooting himself cared he counted on the willing cooperation of his daughter Kat to the ‘on and off’ buttons to operate.
Some of the songs on this CD wrote Tom Dyer for more than thirty years ago, such as “There Be Killin ‘(In My Town)”, “Lizzy”, “Rollin’ On The Clay” and “Call On Me” that he has since already in a fourth version has re-recorded for this album. During the listening of “I Ain’t ‘Blue Anymore” you can not escape to the work of Tom Dyer comparable to that of someone like a chaotic Tom Waits, Nick Cave ran an experiment or even a psychedelic Frank Zappa.
This comparison we mainly because there is often very careless with sounds and snatches of music is handled, something we personally some difficulty with. Alternatively, it all sometimes very melodic sound, as in the instrumental piece “Pass The Jug” where he performed his tricks on ukulele let resound. Also on “I’m Fretless” is not sung but plays Tom Dyer mainly on psychedelic electric guitar. And the song “Walkin ‘In The Sky” we hereby officially proclaim to our favorite song on this album.
“I Is not Blue Anymore” is not an easy-listening music disc but may occasionally quite a bit more experimental sound and intensity and passion required to listeners.
