I'd call this Leo's "Romantic Period," because he really shows the creative potential of the 12-string: much like he's painting colors and tones with the notes he's plucking in order to create a landscape-of-sound theme for each song. It's an enigmatic collection–no two songs quite repeat, and thankfully, nothing spoiling this by rehashing previously released material.
The energy is very high in his agility; minor chord combinations that enhance effortlessly rather than challenge the ear, and a lush assistance by others on keyboards, woodwinds, and even strings. Cheers to the drummer for giving such melodic textures and interpretations from the kit; my first thought is Kenny Buttrey.
Song-wise, there's something for everyone, and maybe the highlight is the cinematic "Range," or even the appropriate, European-like "Maroon," with a harp and accordion alongside Leo's classical touch. It's followed just as easily by the elasticity of "Waltz," showcasing Leo's unique touch with a slide. I can't quite tag the vibraphone-like sounds on "Death By Reputation," but it works just fine. Ditto for the poetic-like interpretation (with flute) of "The White Ape" (following as usual the Kottke pattern of strange titles.) Naturally, there is plenty of the good ol' kick-up-your-heels action ("Buckaroo," "Hayseed Suede," "Airproofing," and the chugging engine of "Up Tempo"). It all comes back home for another quiet farewell with "Shadowland" and a sunset-in-the-desert orchestra supporting his undulating slide and quivering vibes.
Bravo, Leo. This should be framed and hung on a wall for its conceptual artistry and the tunes played on speakers as a backdrop.
