In the spirit of both SWEET RELIEF projects, THE INNER FLAME benefits a gifted cult musician plagued by illness and mounting medical bills. Blues guitarist Rainer Ptacek is the beneficiary of this combination benefit/tribute album organized by Giant Sand's Howe Gelb and Robert Plant. The eclectic array of artists on this project do a great job reinterpreting Rainer's introspective compositions, whose mood and ambiance recall Nick Cave and P.J. Harvey (whose reading of "Losin' Ground" has lots of rough, dirty edges that enhance its words of woe). |
|
Appropriately enough, Victoria Williams and Vic Chesnutt show up, both performing with their spouses, as Mark Olson helps out his wife on the Sufi/Aboriginal-tinged "Something's Gotta Be Done" and Tina Chesnutt joins her hubby for the alt-Tammy/George twang of ""Where's That At?" "Rude World" even allows Plant and Jimmy Page to dive into a combination of drum loops, swirling Wurlitzer and gnarly-sounding guitar that thoroughly updates the blues. THE INNER FLAME is a bright introduction to a talented songwriter. |

Entertainment Weekly (7/11/97, p.68)
- "...A stellar guest list...pays respect to the songs and spirit of the man. Ptacek greases up the tracks with his eloquent bottleneck guitar, a unique sound suggesting Delta music gone to the hinterlands and back." - Rating: A-
