KING OF NOTHING

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
King Of Nothing - The Warren Brothers
With their 1998 debut album, Beautiful Day in the Cold, Cruel World, the Warren Brothers introduced the world to their sophisticated, hooky, pop-country songwriting, which is often enlightened with glib irony, delightfully provocative one-liners, and dashes of contemporary humor. On 2000's King of Nothing, this Tampa, Florida-born sibling duo once again showcases their aggressive, sharp-edged contemporary duet sound that's delightfully reminiscent of Foster & Lloyd, the short-lived but cutting-edge Nashville country-rock duet team that briefly turned Nashville on its ear in the late 1980s. As infectious and aggressively likeable as the Warrens' duet sound is (imagine an early-21st-century version of the Everly Brothers who've hung out on Sunset Boulevard and read some early Jay McInerney), the sound often takes a back seat to their songwriting. On quirky yet reflective songs like "Strange," "Waiting for the Light to Change," and "Move On," they display an utterly original mixture of irony, lighthearted philosophizing, and lyric inventiveness. Though a couple of tunes are half-baked, the killer title tune is the sort of cut that jumps out and grabs you by the heartstrings, like some long-lost outtake from Hotel California. --Bob Allen
