James Woods and Bob Wayne – Tombstone Opera.

Almost one year later, James Woods released a second album, which name is Tombstone Opera. The actor said that the inspiration was the last Californian fires and describes the style as “neo noir western”. I was skeptical that the music will be something unusual by that named style, and listening a piece of “Casa D’Mour” corroborated, presenting a dry music.

Unfortunately, the feelings were correct. It wasn’t in the beginning songs. “Tell Me More One Time” and “Coyote Hanging on a Barbed Wire Fence” contain beautiful lyrics and have a surprising abilities of the guitar. After them, compositions were an ordinary country (“Casa D’Mour”, “Rough Road to Heaven”, “No Tomorrow, Desperado”), hadn’t variety in texts (“Casa D’Mour”, “Rough Road to Heaven”) and repeated the song’s title (“Casa D’Mour”, “Rough Road to Heaven”, and “Walk Up from the Water”).

“Casa D’Mour” had an interesting guitar’s solo and narrating at one point, while “Rough Road to Heaven” didn’t succeed in the appearance of a female voice and bringing more beats after that. Eventually, both were usual.

The arrangement of “Walk Up from the Water” is not common and the text was all right, but saying the composition’s title once and again made it simple. That song continued this album’s intrusive topic about a man going to die. All that music brings to feel an oldman who saying it the last thirty years and has tired everybody with that.

“No Tomorrow, Desperado” is primitive in lyrics, leading one to associate it with a boy who makes a banal love confessing to a girl, though she knows about it because they are familiar with each other for years. The text is confusing in itself because after that love confession, he says that she shouldn’t be an obstacle to his dreams. This melody ends on an odd psychedelic.

“Time for the Gun” carries on a new downgrade poetry level quality installed by the previous composition, whereas the music itself without being impressive.

I did clicking on the rest three “Beyond the Door”, “Nowhere Hill” and “Epilogue”–which weren’t changing as expected, and I’ve got the same generic country. I didn’t listen to them entirely.
