"Nashville songwriter" is more often than not a euphemism for "shameless

hack," a way of telling us that the individual in question scribbles forgettable

ditties -- "positive love songs" (in the industry phrase) or chest-thumping

jingoistic rants -- whatever the market or an audience of undiscriminating

dunces calls for. There is, however, another side of Nashville, and that is

where the likes of Kieran Kane and Kevin Welch live. Here music has roots

and meaning, and both are abundantly in evidence in You Can't Save

Everbody.



This isn't country music so much as the kind of folk sound shaped by Woody

Guthrie in the 1940s and refined in the 1960s by the likes of Bob Dylan. I'm

sure Dylan would approve of Kane and Welch if he's heard them. The songs,

though clearly modern, incorporate rural and traditional points of reference.

Like the great authentic folk songs, they speak directly to life's most

elemental concerns: faith, fear, hope, love, death, rage, and landscapes

both natural and psychic.



These guys are too good to let any mediocre tunes mar the pleasure. Every

song seems bound to grow on you with each successive listening. Three

stand out immediately, at least for me. One is Kane's instrumental "Cecil's

Lament," which sounds like an old Irish fiddle tune that long ago found its way

to the Southern mountains. Anybody -- in this case Welch -- who would write

a ballad titled "Jersey Devil" (concerning a genuine Garden State legend

about a demonic winged creature) has my automatic approval. And if you

lament the state of the nation, you will take to heart Welch's "Everybody's

Working for the Man Again" and hasten to spread the message to your

friends. "Everybody's Working" demonstrates that if the current state of the

nation is good for nothing else, at least it has done wonders for the

old-fashioned folk protest song. This is one biting, satisfying example.
