Review

Champions of long-time cult hero Jules Shear have been scratching their heads in wonder for decades, wondering when the rest of the world will embrace their beloved singer-songwriter. Shear maintains a knack for stringing pithy, perceptive couplets back to back to back, adorning most with insistent pop hooks. Allow Me's best moments--the evocative folk-rocker "Just Another Railroad Train" (with Suzzy Roche adding harmonies) and the wonderfully empathetic "Hugging Her Guitar" among them--are as engaging as such Shear staples as "If She Knew What She Wants" (popularized by the Bangles). But Shear shares much with Jackson Browne; both write lyrics that soar, but their voices are earthbound, a shortcoming that partially explains the former's modest success. Allow Me, like most of its predecessors, isn't likely to change things for Shear and his faithful legions, but it will buck up the troops while the battle continues. --Steven Stolder
