It has a waltz! Jump to “Empty House” and here the ONE-two-three! That’s pretty exciting. Otherwise, this reminds me of a Suddenly, Tammy! knockoff with older, more mature lyrics. Still, how often do you get to hear music with a piano but no guitar? (There is bass.)
I got to review a Leerone album before. If I recall correctly, I thought it was OK. This one is also OK. I really enjoy the music, but the parts have never added up for me. It’s a classic case of “if you like this sort of music, then you’ll like this album.” I listened to this album five times. I can’t do better than that.
“Imaginary Biographies” is 11 tracks of soulful melancholy. And as sure as Carlos Ruiz just hit his first postseason home run, there isn’t much else to say. “Rosie Lee” is kind of haunting. I wouldn’t use it as a ringtone. It’s great on a rainy day though. You should never expect to see shadows while enjoying a Leerone album. Her singing is also at its best on this track.
“Life Could Be” could be my favorite song, but it isn’t. The lyrics are not as heartfelt as others on the album, but maybe that is why it is the last song. Still, it leaves the listener wanting, even if it is for masochistic reasons. This album will grow on me, and in a year I bet I will have it memorized. C-
