The Curmudgeon looks at the career paths of Robin Lane, DwightTwilley, Bruce Cockburn & NilsLofgren
Instant Album
Lane is a good example of why it’s good to search out those who “coulda been a contender.” For us listeners, what’s important is not the fame and fortune of the music-maker but the quality of the music when we stick in the ear buds, press play and hope for the best. And Lane has rewarded those hopes more consistently than most. That’s “All I’ll Ever Need,” as the disc’s buoyant bonus track proclaims.
But he never stopped making music, and he never lost that blend of the Leon Russell/J.J. Cale Tulsa sound, Memphis rockabilly, British Invasion singles and the Byrds’ L.A. folk-rock that made his singles so irresistible. It was no accident that Petty volunteered to duet with Twilley. The latter kept writing and recording hundreds of songs in Oklahoma. He’d release them on his own label or other small labels.
The lyrics aren’t ambitious, but the hooks are sharp, the propulsion unstoppable and the feeling comes through. When he tells a depressed girlfriend to “Reach for the Sky,” the advice may be clichéd, but the rising melodic line and climbing harmonies are genuinely cheering. “It’s Hard To Be a Rebel” achieves a bittersweet look back at life thanks to the high vocal notes above the chunka-chunka groove.
