PAINTED DESERT SERENADE by singer-songwriter Joshua Kadison depicts a profound, worldly romanticism for the 1990s. Kadison's opening track "Jessie" sums up his appeal. She's an old flame with a habit of turning up at the most inopportune times, and with his keen eye for narrative detail, Kadison conveys his character's sense of longing and futility, as the moody melodic details leave listeners suspended in doubt, is this a long goodbye or will it all work out? "All the callers call in, but the thing that's so strange, It's all the same story, just the voices that change," Kadison sings on "Beau's All Night Love Line," evoking the haunting imagery of Elton John and Bernie Taupin at a perfect power pop tempo, as mandolin and harmonica toll away suggestively. The sense of yearning and liberation Kadison conveys on PAINTED DESERT SERENADE belies the singer's quiet approach--there's real fire and rage in Kadison's reflective cool.
