SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: S.G. GOODMAN – TEETH MARKS

S.G. Goodman
Teeth Marks
Verve Forecast

One of the key reasons many listeners shy away from singer songwriters as a general music genre is lack of variation. The mention that, usually, it is just the artist and her/his guitar or piano, voice and some self-serving lyrics, quite a few people call ‘navel gazing.’

None of the above is something you can attach to Kentucky’s S.G. Goodman or her sophomore album Teeth Marks. Goodman can definitely sit down with her acoustic guitar and deliver something personal, but then, she can rock out (“All My Love Comes Back To Me”) or take a more rootsy approach (“When You Say It”). At the same time, her song writing and arrangements are almost impeccable, and her vocals never falter, to say the least.

At the same time, her lyrics can at no point be called self-serving or mundane covering a gamut of both personal and social themes without losing her line of thought and keeping them both sharp and focused.

With all those elements, Teeth Marks turns into a true example of what a great singer songwriter album should sound like.
