A great follow-up to his gold CD Ghetto Hymns, the singer/songwriter enlists top talent such as Mike City (who has worked with another Chicago native, Carl Thomas) to make his recollections crystal clear. The title actually refers to a rough period in Hollister's life when he found out that his father was actually his stepfather and in an act of rebellion began gangbanging. Chicago-based producer Steve Huff, who also had success with Avant, produced the lead single, "One Woman Man," which began quickly racing up the charts. On the solid mid-tempo slammer "Keep on Lovin' Me," Hollister sings about a woman he admires even when she curses him out and makes his bail. The singer almost reaches operatic vibes on the sparse "Destiny" with its swirling string arrangement.

Loved it from start to finish. For whatever reason, I never bought the DVD when it came out, until a couple of weeks ago and so this was my first time re-watching the movie, 5 years later. DVD1 (92 min.) of "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" brings the original theatrical release, and re-watching it 5 years later, and knowing full-well the story that it brings, it remains a marvel to watch. Originally intended as simply following how the band makes a new album, it turns into a full fletched drama (band members leaving, label rejecting the album, the band persevering, etc.). One hilarious moment that remains with me is when the band is on the road and Jeff Tweedy and his family walks into a fast-food place and he says "I don't have any money". It's probably not that they were broke, but it's probably not too far from the truth either... Since those days of course, the band has become a huge success. DVD2 (80 min.) brings a bunch of scenes that weren't included in the movie, including the band performing in various places and settings. There is also a too-brief "making-of" segment that is quite insightful. On top of that, this release includes an absolute fantastic 40 page booklet with insights from the director and others on the making of the movie (with pictures). In all, "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" is essential for any serious music fan, on the same level as, say, "DIG!". HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! |
