Last night (October 9, 2014) at Shank Hall in Milwaukee, Steve Wynn demonstrated yet again why he’s one of the best songwriters of his generation. As anyone who’s taken the time to listen to Wynn’s Dream Syndicate, Baseball Project, and solo records knows, his lyrics, vocal melodies, and guitar playing are the stuff of poetry.
Like Dylan, Springsteen, and Reed, Steve is a rock ‘n’ roll poet, who can make you cry with his heartfelt introspective confessions, laugh at his witty observations, and groove to his guitar’s howl.
But last night at Shank was a first for Wynn. For the first time in his 30-year career as a musician, he took the stage by himself, with just an electric guitar, harmonica, his voice, and his infectiously good humor.
That’s right – Wynn, for the first time, played a career-spanning set, accompanied by just his electric guitar.
As Wynn blasted through his songs, he gave the Shank crowd a vision of the skill, innovation, and versatility that defines his guitar playing. Set opener “The Days of Wine and Roses” took the crowd back to Elvis-style rockabilly by way of Velvet Underground noise, whereas “See That My Grave Is Kept Clean” was a menacing blues and “Boston” seemed somehow more of an introspective anthem than it does on Out of the Grey. (...)
Please do yourself a favor and catch Wynn on this tour. You’ll witness musical diversity and dexterity, guitar mastery, and some of the best songs you’ll ever hear in new and exciting reconfigurations. (Paul Gleason, http://stereoembersmagazine.com)
