Review

It would be nice not to have to mention that Amy Allison is the daughter of Mose Allison, who occupies a unique place in American music. The thing about gentleman Mose is, as far back as the 1950s, he sang riotously funny blues and jazz material with a face so straight that audiences often didn't know whether he was laughing with them, at them, or at all. Daughter Amy has a similar difficulty, if that's the right word. She seems to be mocking the whiney, self-pitying aspects of traditional country music by exaggerating them beyond measure, lyrically and vocally, but her sad-eyed Buster Keaton presentation daunts the listener into wondering whether she's being serious, sardonic, or satiric. And the answer is, yes. As the line in the title song states, "It's not just an act, it's a matter of fact." Allison's intelligence is unquestionable. So, too, is her talent. And if, like a plantation manor ghost in her father's Mississippi, she chooses to haunt the one lonely room in country music where humor and genuine angst co-reside, so be it. --Henry Cabot Beck
