Album Review: Jordie Lane - Live At The Wheaty

Jordie Lane's new album documents more of the singer-songwriter's stage banter than it does his music. Three new songs mingle with five older tunes. Black Diamond is one of them, destined to be as fun and unrelatable as songs about prostitutes always are. The Winner fares better, but it's I Betrayed Love that cuts to the heart. Lane warbles like a true man of sorrow. His talk may be cheap, but Lost In You and I Could Die Looking At You are already timeless. Like all good folk music, Live At The Wheaty shares everything.
