Richard Kaufmann | Common Senses

Surprisingly turns out to be a refreshing album.
CD, Record Cellar

Tekst: Maurice Dielemans

Publicatiedatum: 21 maart 2002

For quite some time now, Richard Kaufmann has been dwelling in the underground of the Philadelphia music scene as the singer for a poppy punk band called The Electric Love Muffin. In the early Nineties, Kaufmann led the alternative country-oriented group Rolling Hayseeds, who recorded several albums for Record Cellar. On this first solo effort, Richard Kaufman has great plans with country music. He uses pedal steel on songs where you least expect it, and he sings with more than ten different voices. He also surprises more than often with a cheap electronic dance beat in 'Shiver' and crooning vocals - reminiscent of Scott Walker - in an innocent love song. Sometimes you're wondering if he's playing a game or just fooling around, but in the end it doesn't really matter, and Kaufmann's 'Common Senses' surprisingly turns out to be a refreshing album anyhow.
