The True False Identity

Twenty Twenty - The Essential T Bone Burnett Nobody writes better about surface and depth, illusion and essence, through parable and paradox, than T Bone Burnett. Though he's had more influence as a producer and catalyst (from his days with Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Review to his visionary masterminding of the O Brother, ...	Tooth of Crime You re my friend, but I m going to kill you. Don t fret. T Bone Burnett hasn t gone off the deep end. At least not in that way. He s merely explaining the tone of the putyou-on-your-heels opening track of his gripping new album, Tooth of Crime. At once seductive and unsettling fr...	The Criminal Under My Own Hat	Raising Sand Perhaps only the fantasy duo of King Kong and Bambi could be a more bizarre pairing than Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.

Martinis & Bikinis With Martinis & Bikinis, Sam Phillips has revitalized the "Beatlesque" category with some substantial songwriting and a woman's voice, which turns the whole sound upside down.

T Bone gives steak again
T Bone Burnett finally has returned from his producing role to his role as the great roots musician/composer/singer that he is with his new studio CD "The True False Identity." While we were teased a few years back with the smell of a proposed CD of music from a Sam Shepherd play that T Bone wrote and performed some songs for (this project was inexplicibly shelved!), this time we actually get to chew and swallow. The DVD side is a great side dish as well. Finally, some steak after years of listening to other artist's hamburger!
