This week's recommendation ALBUM TITLE: Toon Town Lullaby ARTIST: James Reyne RELEASED: July 2020 GENRE: Folk rock / pop BIO: Toon Town Lullaby is James Reyne’s 12th solo studio album and his fi rst in eight years. Reyne has had many hits throughout his 40+ year career, selling more than a million albums with Australian Crawl in the 80’s. He joined with Daryl Braithwaite and others to produce Company Of Strangers and has created many hits as an enduring solo artist. WHAT TO EXPECT: Reyne writes about people and places he knows, and times and events we are familiar with – all with a healthy dose of sarcasm. The music is easy to listen to, even understated, allowing the lyrics to take centre stage, like in the title track. “I’m gonna kick some tyres / and light some fi res / and punch a hole in the sky …. I'm gonna leave my room / and hand my gloom / onto some other guy.” WHAT WE LIKE: From the opening Toon Town Lullaby, Reyne’s customary wit and clever wordplay are all here, along with acoustic guitar combined with simple harmonies. Low Hanging Fruit is laidback, but with a cynical view of the music industry –“ I don’t see bravery, I just see knavery”. This Time strums along like a BBQ sing-a-long favourite; The Tallest Man I Ever Knew is a tribute to his good friend and ex-band mate Brad Robinson, who died over 20 years ago – with uptempo guitar riff s and some lovely literary references. The album closes out with the tuneful Wrong Guy - “But your shadows out-dance you wherever you run”. STANDOUT TRACKS: Toon Town Lullaby, Low Hanging Fruit, Wrong Guy. PERFECT FOR: Funky Friday nights, smooth Saturdays, lazy Sunday aft ernoons. LISTEN IN IF YOU LIKE: Australian Crawl, Dave Gleeson, Ian Moss, Richard Clapton.
