Review

Entertainment Weekly (12/19/97, p.78) - "...Canadian newcomer Eaglesmith mixes an edgy blend of folk, country, and rock, using only the sparest of backing, seemingly played on scavenged metal parts. Eaglesmith's power lies in constructing spooky interior worlds populated by characters consumed by dread, lust, and loathing..." - Rating: B+

Title Note

Recorded at The Cottage, Guelph and The Canterbury Music Company, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

He may be a gifted singer-songwriter from Canada, but Fred Eaglesmith is a far cry from the bookish-aesthete image of countrymen like Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell. Rather, Eaglesmith is a died-in-the-wool farm boy who owes more to Tom T. Hall than Tom Rush. He comes by his predilections honestly, though, and on LIPSTICK LIES he breathes new life into the Merle Haggard/Johnny Paycheck tradition of the hard-workin' country boy with a chip on his shoulder.

Even though songs like "Time To Get A Gun" and "Seven Shells" evoke the lives of hard-livin' men of the land, the production on this album represents a step forward for Eaglesmith. While much of the album features the same acoustic-oriented country/folk stylings he's favored for some time, there are a few cuts that venture further afield with some decidedly '90s-sounding production. Ultimately, it's Eaglesmith's songwriting and honest, impassioned singing that bring it all home.
