Spin (10/96, pp.136-137) - 7 - Worthy - "...On PERSIMMONS, the breadth of Lauderdale's talent shows how narrow the bounds of country have grown..."

Title Note

Personnel: Jim Lauderdale (vocals); Pat Buchanan (acoustic, electric & slide guitars); Billy Bremner (acoustic & electric guitars); Buddy Miller (electric guitar); Kenny Vaughn (guitar); Al Perkins (steel & electric guitars); Bucky Baxter (steel & lap steel guitars); Dan Dugmore (steel guitar, guitar); Tommy Spurlock, Robby Turner (steel guitar); Larry Knechtel, Greg Wetzel (piano, keyboards); Billy Livsey (keyboards); Garry Tallent, GlenN Worf, John Ciamboti (bass); Bob Mummert, Billy Thomas, Daryl Burgess, Donald Lindley, Larry Atamanuik (drums); Emmylou Harris (background vocals).

Recorded at Mad Dog Studios, Venice, California; House Of Buddy, Pasadena, California; Moondog and Javalina Studios, Nashville, Tennessee.

It wasn't too hard to predict that the combination of country, pop and R&B on Lauderdale's albums would fail to make him the star his label expected him to be. Ultimately, his biggest commercial success would come as a songwriter for other country artists. After his initial bid for stardom stiffed, Lauderdale regrouped and began anew, with a post-modern countrypolitan sound.

In the interrim, he dipped into his songbag for some of the more unconventional songs that had slipped through the cracks over the years. He recorded them for PERSIMMONS, which naturally turned out to be his most consistently rewarding album. From the poetic minor-key blues of "And That's A Lot" to the Bacharach-meets-Yoakam "Am I Only Dreaming This," PERSIMMONS is both Lauderdale's most eccentric recording and his most aesthetically satisfying.
