T-Bone Burnett has been hard at it since his last
record of original son gs in 1992: nominated for a
songwriting Oscar, winning a production Grammy,
composing movie soundtracks, and serving as one of
his trade's most valuable studio musicians. But with
those most fascinated by his remarkable resume, it's
all about the songwriting, and on The True False
Identity, Burnett substantiates his role as a
composer and performer steeped in traditional
American music. Backed by a scrupulous cast of
players and drawing on his candidly innovative
wordplay, Burnett not only has put the world on
notice, he appears far from content with the
outlook. "The cat's out of the bag/And it ain't
going back," he pleads wearily over a machine-gun
drum in "Fear Country," one of several tunes where
Burnett enunciates more as dustbowl rapper than west
coast songster. His relevant narrations include an
undercurrent of religion in law ("Blinded by the
Darkness"), the modification of history ("Every Time
I Feel the Shift") and a cadenced appraisal of Frank
Sinatra and his running buddies ("Palestine,
Texas"). Teaming a Dylan-like poetry scheme with a
searing guitar lead, "Palestine" begins as a mis
chievous nursery rhyme, until Burnett aims his
invective at the nation's leaders: "When you come
out of this self-delusion/You're gonna need a soul
transfusion." Listening to The True False Identity,
we've already got ours.
