Review

Entertainment Weekly (2/9/96, p.55) - "...Allen gruffs out starkly original songs about on-the-fringe characters wrestling with unvarnished truths. Country at its buck nakedest." - Rating: A
Option (5-6/96, p.91) - "...a shot of shit-kickin', ass-whupin', heart-breakin' liquor-slurpin' satisfaction..."
Sing Out! (4-5-6/96, pp.139-140) - "...literate, challenging, uncompromising and brutally honest....he'll force you to confront reality in a medium that is frequently used to escape from it."

Recorded at Don Caldwell Studios, Lubbock, Texas and The Hit Shack, Austin, Texas.

HUMAN REMAINS is Allen's first solo album since the surprise success of his1994 musical CHIPPY (co-written with his wife, Jo Harvey Allen, and based on the diary of a west Texas prostitute from the '30s). The singer/songwriter/visual artist enlists the help of fellow Lubbockites the Maines brothers, fiddler Richard Bowden of the Austin Lounge Lizards, accordion ace Ponty Bone, David Byrne, and-most delightfully-Lucinda Williams on harmony vocals.

Allen's songwriting is at its sharpest on HUMAN REMAINS, especially on the wry "Gone To Texas" and the angry "After The Fall" and "Crisis Site 13," songs about Allen's fellow baby boomers and the children they've raised. As always, his lyrics recall a countrified Randy Newman in their first-person accounts of often- unlikable people who nevertheless evoke sympathy and understanding in the listener. His music lands somewhere between Tom Waits' junkyard orchestrations and Lyle Lovett's somewhat skewed Western swing.
