Movie Reviews of The Swell Season Live From The Artists Den
Movie Review: Music in an age of noise...
Summary: 4 Stars
My 21 year-old son turned me on to Glen Hansard awhile back. Then, my wife and I watched Once together, and it confirmed my initial impression. Hansard is a throwback to the singer-songwriters of my youth (Cat Stevens, Dylan, etc), but with an Irish bent that is quite refreshing. This DVD allows the viewer to experience the event in its' simplicity. Very basic instrumentation, songs that are strong but not complex, and the opportunity to see Hansard express the songs as they were written. A good song doesn't need to be over produced. A number of years back Jimmy Webb released "10 Easy Pieces", where it was basically him playing the piano and singing some of his biggest songs. While I never much cared for the Glen Campbell version of Wichita Lineman, Webb's was brilliant. Hansard's work with Swell Season is just that. Deep lyrics, simple but strong melodies, interesting guitar inversions underneath, and a passionate, connected deliverance of the songs provide a nice viewing experience. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was the DVD lacked a few of my favorite pieces. For those who have not experienced Hansard, there are many songs to recommend, but "Say It To Me Now" may be one of my favorites. Hansard uses lyrics, chord progression and dynamics to convey the message perfectly. "Leave" is also a strong, sincere declaration. I enjoy many styles of music, but prefer that it be sincere and authentic. Swell Season offers both.
