Craig Finn - We All Want The Same Things '2017

Tracks list

If Craig Finn ever decided he was tired of making music, he could likely have a
successful career writing short stories. Finn has a genuine gift for crafting
small but compelling stories of folks living on lifes margins, viewing their
dreams, ambitions, and frequent failures with a genuine compassion and a keen
eye for details. And as a singer, he has the sensibility of a born storyteller,
with a weathered voice short on range but long on emotional impact. Released in
2017, We All Want the Same Things in many ways plays like a continuation of
Finns previous solo effort, 2015s Faith in the Future, as if these were more
tales from the same rundown town in the post-industrial Midwest where those
characters played out their lives. If anything, this sequel is better than the
original, with a stronger and more evocative set of musical backdrops,
sympathetic production from Josh Kaufman, and ten effective character studies,
many of which are capable of subtly breaking your heart. God in Chicago is a
superb first-person narrative about a reluctantly arranged drug deal that leads
to a night full of good and bad times, Tangletown follows a man and woman caught
in a mutually destructive relationship, Ninety Bucks stars a woman struggling to
convince others and herself that she can turn her life around, the accumulated
details of Tracking Shots once again suggests Finn could well be the indie rock
Bruce Springsteen, and Jester & June chronicles the awful moment when youthful
fun sours into adult regret. With We All Want the Same Things, Finn has crafted
some of the strongest and most moving music of his career, and if his tales
arent often upbeat, they have the ring of truth and will stay in your memory
long after the album is over.
