Lambert And Nuttycombe – At Home

“The story of David Lambert and Craig Nuttycombe’s not-quite-success actually says more about both the business and lack of guarantees one can face than most Behind the Music specials about famous groups — acts that never fully connect beyond a small fan base despite efforts otherwise from a far greater percentage of performers in general, even in the everyone’s-a-star days of Myspace and YouTube . At Home’s cult appeal doubtless partially results from that history. Released by A&M, it was the closest Lambert & Nuttycombe got to balancing out their spare, reflective sound with wider support (getting co-produced by Glyn Johns near the height of his fame is enough of a sign on its own). Literally recorded at the duo’s shared house, the 12-song collection is almost a spiritual cousin to U.K. contemporary Nick Drake’s work, the sonic connection of vocal-and-acoustic-guitars-only further heightened by the short songs and bare half-hour length of the album. By taking an understated approach to an already low-key performing style, there’s an aching sense of intimacy throughout, and on songs like “Time” and a cover of “Mr. Bojangles,” the singers sound like they could be singing as much to themselves as to an audience. This said, there’s a brighter glow to At Home in comparison to, say, Pink Moon — not a bouncily cheery sort, to be sure, but a warmth in the singing and a content, breezy jauntiness on songs like “My Own Beat” and “Ode to Drugan” that almost suggests something like the Beach Boys’ “Busy Doin’ Nothin.”” – allmusic.com
