简介：
Being a recent convert to the music of Dave Alvin, I hesitate to pontificate too much on his many musical virtues, but having listened repeatedly to Blackjack Dave I can honestly say that his is music that's impossible to dislike. Dave Alvin here presents a variety of moods that have made this album one of my favorites. He offers up a pungent stew of love, sex, betrayal, friendship, despair, and murder. My favorites are Blackjack Dave, a story of a rich woman who turns her back on all she has to be with a vagabond; California Snow, a moving song about a Border Patrolman who is torn between duty and the injustices he sees; The Way You Say Goodbye, a swinging, sexy song of a bitter ending; 1968, a story of inability to get over the loss of a close friend in Vietnam; and the chilling ballad Mary Brown which to me is the high point of the album. The other songs are good too, particularly the country-infused Abilene and the Cajun styled Laurel Lynn. Dave Alvin shows consistent improvement in both his songwriting and his vocal technique and is proving to the listening public that he is Hall of Fame material. If you are already a Dave Alvin fan, you know what he can do, but if you are not yet one, its time to get on the bandwagon.
