Where earlier authors looked to England and Europe for aesthetic inspiration and cultural validation, writes Powers, Twain provided a "radically new native voice [that was] diametrically the opposite of Jamesian eloquence [and which] radiated, in its very homespun ardency, a new sort of American truth. This occasionally fuzzy but generally crystalline reissue of their early Bluebird 78s and radio recordings (the first of four such releases) captures the brothers' savvy ardency in twinning sacred and secular sentiments, as well as the kind of intuitive symbiotic harmonizing that only blood kin can pull off. Johnson's ardency emerges in his hobbies as well, as a golfer who has played everywhere from Hawaii to Ireland and as a scuba enthusiast who plans to dive the Seychelles and the Red Sea. |
