Can't Complain

Amazon.com
The Bacon Brothers' third CD sounds like the work of bar-band regulars who've found themselves in a real studio with some real money. Prolific actor Kevin Bacon and his music-biz-vet brother, Michael, stretch out on the opener, "Paris," which is marked by polyrhythmic drums, over-the-top orchestration, and the raspy Knopfler/Springsteen affectations of Kevin. Lyrically, the brothers veer from straightforward, earnest love songs ("Sooner or Later") to something more topical (baby boomers get a sound thrashing on "Summer of Love [Woodstock '99]" and the alt-country effort "Don't Leave the Lava Lamp on for Me"). Flat storytelling, meanwhile, mars the likes of "Paris" and "Baby Steps." Still, while Can't Complain is far from groundbreaking, it's an easy listen for fans of tie-dyed rock. --Kelly Minnis

Can't Complain.......2003-05-14

These legitimate musicians put together another work of fantastic brilliance. I first heard "Bus," "Can't Complain," and most of the other songs on this album in concert and bought the album the next day! Kevin's lyrics are witty and his brother's musicianship is amazing. This album has great range in emotion from humorous to serious and symphonic to old school rock n' roll. If you somewhat liked the other CDs, then get this one; if you like Kevin Bacon, then get this one; if you like music, then get this one!!

YEAH BOYS!.......2003-05-13

This is my new Favorite CD. These guys are SO Good. Every song is a special treat. DON'T Wait! Buy it Today. You won't be able to keep it out of your player!

The Bacon Brothers ROCK!.......2003-03-15

"Can't Complain" is the third Bacon Brothers CD, and is just as awesome as the first two. If you haven't already listened to them, DO IT NOW! You can't help but be happy when you listen to their "...clever lyrics and an awesome band..." (From the song TMI on the album "Getting There").

AWSOME!.......2003-02-13

This is the most played CD I own. Its a little bit of everything. And even after all the times I've played it, it still has the power to make me smile while I'm singing along.

Bacon Brothers do it again!.......2003-02-08

As usual, they have produced an awesome album! The lyrics are clever, the music styles are varied, and the vocals are awesome. Whether you like a little country, rock, soul or folk in your music, they have it all.

Makes you feel good!.......2004-11-11

I snatched this out of a radio promo dics collection a local radio station was going to throw out. This is certainly feel good music, and I will be buying their other albums (of course you need to go to their website for those).

To give a comparison, think early indigo girls with maybe a dash of 80s pop influence (the feel-good part). It is nice acoustic music that your grandparents, parents, and kids can all enjoy!

I can complain just a little.......2001-11-02

As much as I love Phoebe Snow's voice (and song writing and guitar playing) she just seems to be trying to do too much on this record. One moment its solid pop such as the duet with Michael McDonald (Right to the end) and the next its labored blues such as Rockin Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu. Please! The real low point for me though is the speeded up take on Mitchell's Case of You. Diana Krall nailed this song on the TNT tribute to Mitchell but Snow's version is lame, lame.

All in all, one of those records that a fan has to have but disappointing when you know the next one is going to be such a long time coming

awesome aunt.......1999-12-22

dear aunt phoebe, i would like to congradualate you on your success in music. i was wondering when you are going to get me the limp bizkit tickets? just kidding. love, jeff sussman

Incredible!!!!!.......1999-10-31

This is one of the best CD's I have heard from cover to cover. Everyone needs to give this an ear. Sister Phoebe has got some soul!!!! Give us more!!!!!

It Snows in the Bay Area & people love it........1999-04-12

I wished this CD were all Blues but it is great anyway. Baby Work Out has you workin' out & Rockin' Pneumonia is the best. This CD can make the hair stand up on the back of your head if ya know what I mean. I play it all the time on Blue Wave Radio KECG 88.1 / 97.7 Sat 7 to 9 am & Single's Cafe Sun 5 to 6 pm in the East Bay CA. G Hanes Where It's Red Hot & Resophonic Blue.

I won't complain, but I'm still not satisfied........1999-03-18

Phoebe Snow is, without a doubt, one of the most uniquely and exquisitely gifted vocal performers of this era. Why is it, then, that so many of her recorded efforts seem to miss the mark? For the past two decades, each time there has been news of a new Phoebe Snow recording, I have eagerly waited the release. And each time I have been disappointed. This latest recording is no exception. Her selection of material on this latest release is sound, yet for as good as she is, she could be so much better. She drags the listener through "Piece of My Heart," delivers a warbled version of "Never Never Land" that sounds off-key at times, and seems to lose her way on "Brand New Me." "Right to the End," with Michael McDonald, is strong, though it is also moves slowly.

Phoebe Snow's voice is difficult to harness in the studio, although "Love Makes a Woman," "The Married Men," and "Shakey Ground," all from previous recordings, are memorable. Nothing on this CD, however, quite lives up to her capabilities.

Long-time Phoebe Snow fans should try to find the CD on which she delivers a powerfully moving rendition of "At Last" (recorded live ), which she dedicates to her daughter, Valerie. Hint: it's on a compilation CD, not her own.
