James Intveld

Let's Talk It Out single

(Mule Kick Records)

Long applauded for his vocal facility (he sang Johnny Depp's solos in Cry Baby) and guitar-work with the Blasters, James settles comfortably into an understated, honky-tonk posture. "Right here and now, let's talk it out, before it's too late," he implores in this revisiting of Patty Booker's 1999 adjuration. Nimbly traversed 88s and hand-tooled, bent-string articulations color the Bakersfieldian endeavor, as it makes its easeful-but-determined headway. Such melancholia once rang from barroom Seeburgs.
