Review

Rolling Stone (5/30/96, p.48) - 3 Stars - Good - "...traces the lives of New England people who...travel `from nowhere to nowhere.' Restless, stuck or both, they take waitressing jobs or the next ride out of town....In a notable departure from his characteristic...folk-based arrangements...Morrissey spices nearly half the tracks...with horn parts..."

Title Note

Personnel: Bill Morrissey (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica); Michael Toles (acoustic & electric guitars, piano, Hammond B-3 organ); Tom Fischer (clarinet); Bill Samuel (tenor & baritone saxophones); Jamil Sharif (trumpet); Chris Belleau (trombone); James Singleton (acoustic bass); Lee Allen Zeno (electric bass); Johnny Vidacovich (drums); Charles Elam III, Earl J. Smith, Jr. (background vocals).

Recorded at Ultrasonic Studios, New Orleans, Louisiana.

YOU'LL NEVER GET TO HEAVEN marks quite a departure for Bill Morrissey. The folk world, it can be safely assumed, was probably taken aback from the album's decidedly different feel. Whereas Morrisey's previous albums were notable for their spare instrumentation (often what was left off was just as important as what actually was played), this album finds the singer incorporating veteran soul musicians and a full horn section.

The fact that the fuller sound doesn't overwhelm Morrissey, a singer who sounds like he drinks full pitchers of sand before recording, is a testament to both the production and Morrissey's skills as a songwriter and interpretive performer. On the title track, in between bursts of brass, he evokes the same nuances of the trudging and nearly beaten human spirit that highlight his earlier work. However different the album's sound is, the quality of the songs remains the same. In Morrissey's case that's praise of the highest order.
