Review

With his mumbled baritone and lo-fi, get-it-down-quick approach to recording and his unlikely subject matter (everything from public speaking to house fires), Jack Logan sets up numerous obstacles before his music. For those willing to jump over those hurdles, the reward is one of the quirkiest, freshest songwriting talents to emerge in the '90s. Logan never tells the whole tale, but the intriguing details of his lyrics remind us of the unfinished stories in our own lives. This air of suspense is reinforced by the unpolished but urgent music, whether it takes the form of hard-rock guitar distortion or lazy honky-tonk strumming.

For years Logan spent his days repairing electric motors in Athens, Georgia, and his evenings writing and recording songs with a bunch of similarly employed pals in living rooms and basements. Only after lots of pestering did Logan send 630 songs from 14 years of widely varying sessions to Minnesota's Medium Cool Records, which chose 42 of them for Logan's two-CD debut, 1994's --Bulk. His second album, --Mood Elevator, is a more focused project; it only contains 17 songs and they all come from a single set of sessions in Indiana last year with the same band, Athens' Liquor Cabinet. Inevitably, --Mood Elevator lacks the breath-taking breadth of his debut, but it does boast half a dozen of Logan's finest efforts. --Geoffrey Himes
