(Hooember 23, 1994 Victoria Williams loose / Mammoth This album is arguably the feel-good album of 1994 Williams, on eccentric lyncist with a knack for cap turing the simple pleasures in life, has mode an album of folksy songs that ore earthy and down-home How ever. what really mokes this album stand apart from her last two recordings are the varied instruments and musical arrangements that occompony Williams dis tinct and oddly wonderful singing style On 'Crazy Mary.' a tune Pearl Jam covered on the Sweet Rebel benefit album, Williams sings the song as if she were sitting around a campfire with a string section, enter taining them with a gothic. Southern story. Brilliont raga composer and noted spiritualist Pe ter Buck resurfaces from hiding m the Himalayas to odd an enchanting srtar to 'Hitchhikers Smile' 'When We Sing Together' conjures up dreams of a gondola ride down the Red River, complete with accordion accompaniment Also, midway through the album. Williams, a native Louisian ian. covers 'What a Wonderful World.' a song made famous by New Orleans great Louis *Satchmo* Armstrong Her treatment of the tune is so groceful and easy that I cannot help but believe her when she sings the chorus The only questionable parts of this album are 'Nature's Way' and 'My Ally.' only be cause Dave Pirner s constipated voice does not compliment Williams quirky but soothing vocals His singing only suggests that he is in dire need of podded restraints Apart from that, 'loose' is an enjoyable album, especially since Victoria Williams proves that good songs do not require mindless guitar riffs and disgruntled youth spewing teenage angst Josh Jackson 0INGLE ISSUES SScaries 'God’s CodtHoc‘ b/w love on Me'/ Infkjx 8000 It always seems that, for better or for worse.
