专辑介绍
by Jesse Jarnow
New Connection -- Todd Snider's fifth album and the second for John Prine's Oh Boy label -- finds the singer riding atop a warm band featuring Jason Wilber and David Jacques (both of Prine's touring unit), Paul Griffith, and Will Kimbrough. Like Kevn Kinney, Snider's voice alternates between a drawl and a scratch, occasionally dropping into Jim White-like whispers. It is in these cracks that Snider finds a wry strength, which he hangs on his almost traditional singer/songwriter wares. There are humorous tunes -- &Vinyl Records,& &Beer Run,& and &Statistician's Blues& -- but they're rarely anything more than cute. &Broke,& meanwhile, sounds like a Nashville version of Lou Reed's &Goodnight Ladies.& Snider gets a few elegiac beauties into the mix, too, including the subtly produced &Easy& and the almost heartbreaking &Class of 85.& These are fine songs. Prine takes a guest turn on his own &Crooked Piece of Time,& which fits in with the rest of the record almost too well.

- @北海(浮云一别后，流水十年间)：乡村总是这么容易令人摇头晃脑不着调的乐，喜欢这种自然粗糙随意轻松，美帝今日万种不是，文化的输出真是强大，令我不禁大喊：“音乐无国界！”
