A Hundred White Lies
R-Tist
With seven full-length albums, a collapsed marriage and a change of scenery from the San Jose area to Nashville, guitar slinger/singer Dwight has paid his dues and is feeling his oats.
The new locale seems to have helped him find his songwriting identity. The latest batch of tunes is consistent not only in quality but in tone: kind of a blues-country mutation (as opposed to standard country blues), although occasional R&B shadings and gospel-tinged background vocals by Bekka Bramlett or the McCrary Sisters (four songs each plus one shared track) can initially throw off the listener.
Such an evolved style makes sense: Dwight grew up on a horse ranch in Morgan Hill, Calif., listening to his parents’ Willie, Hank and Waylon as well as his older sister’s Ozzy, Hendrix and Zeppelin.
While past output may have seemed schizophrenic, he’s now confidently and masterfully blurring the lines on these 11 original compositions and one cover song (“Wagon Wheel,” an unfinished Bob Dylan outtake from the “Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid” soundtrack completed by Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show).
Plus, having Dick50 (Delbert McClinton’s crack band) for a backup group doesn’t hurt.
