Search - Dwight Twilley :: Tulsa

Available again and has been re-mastered! So how does "Tulsa" stand up to the rest of Twilley's musical legacy? It stands tall and proud. It is not without flaws, but it is worthy of being heard by more people than his past works. Begun in April of 1998 in his home recording studio, Dwight used his stage band at the time to flesh out these songs. The fact that they have played live before comes through, as the arrangements are tight and to the point, with not a lot of filler or wasted space. Even a song such as "A Little Less Love," with its borderline sappy, but sadly true sentiment, sticks with you because of the well written lyrics, strong melody and Dwight's trademark counterpoint vocals. In fact, it is those vocals that make Dwight stand out from the pop crowd. Yep, near 'Boston'-like time between new albums for our Dwight - but he did a MUCH better job in the interim! Mr. T sounds as great as he ever did; his now classic sound is nailed down effortlessly! I must admit to some worry as to how Dwight would sound after such a long hiatus; and without his singing partner Ms. Cowsill, would the 'sound' still be there? I needn't have worried. The shame here is that a major label couldn't see fit to release this great power pop confection. Dwight hasn't lost his ability to conjure up a heartfelt ballad or a kickin' rocker. Thanks Dwight - but let's not take so long between releases next time, 'kay?
