 The Horse King
THE HORSE KING / Cosy Sheridan
Gary Tuber / Chicago Examiner Nov 9, 2011
The Horse King from Chicago's Waterbug Records, is Cosy Sheridan's
10th CD, give or take. You can't make it into double digits, and continue touring
for twenty or so years, unless you know what you're doing, and do it well.
Rarely do you find a CD where every song is memorable. It happens, just not often.
It happens here. Nine of the 10 cuts are Cosy Sheridan originals. They are mostly
upbeat, often toungue-in-cheek, and always original and clever.
In "Higher Financial Reform," as a way to encourage us not to trust our retirement
funds to someone younger, Cosy suggests, "He will talk about liquidity, but really
he knows diddly." Now, I ask you, when have you ever seen "liquidity" rhymed with
"diddly."? Do some research and get back to me. Play an air guitar? Don't do it.
"Air guitar might have its charm, to me it's a waste of the hand and the arm."
Cosy, my air guitar sounds better than the wood and string one.
"The Horse King" succeeds on all levels. Cosy is joined by Kent Allyn,
David Surette, Penny Nichols, and TR Ritchie, on all their various instruments.
Some cuts on the CD almost resemble show music in their productions.
COSY SHERIDAN/The Horse King: Seems fitting that a premiere folkie
should land on the premiere folk label. Picking up the socio-political folkie side
of things, Sheridan assails blows against the empire like she's a latter day Wobblie. Without being strident, she manages to send out a bunch more messages than the typical
singer/songwriter has for quite some time. Delightfully offbeat, this is the email you
look forward to getting from a friend of yours that's always on the go. All folkies know
she's the real deal and this latest chapter is on the money throughout.
