My latest eBay purchase is a limited edition double CD by T Bone Burnett called “Proof Through The Night and The Complete Trap Door“. I’ve been looking for this one for some time, so I’m thrilled to finally have it. I believe this CD represents the only digital versions of two of Burnett’s albums produced in the 80s - “Trap Door” and “Proof Through The Night”, both initially released on record albums. “Trap Door” is the first T Bone Burnett album I bought, a 6-song EP of electric-guitar-based arrangements that introduced me to, and got me hooked on, Mr. Burnett. “Proof…” is the follow-up album, eleven songs in a similar guitar-based style. These two early-80s albums prompted me to buy one of T Bone’s earlier albums (Truth Decay) and represent my favorite period from T Bone’s discography, and they would be at the top of my list of albums for anyone interested in starting a T Bone music collection. A few songs from both of these albums are included on the recently released “Twenty Twenty - The Essential T Bone Burnett” (which I also own) but the songs from “Proof…” have been remixed for “Twenty Twenty…” and I don’t care for the new mixes… I prefer the original mixes/versions, so I have been looking for this double CD. T Bone Burnett is such an interesting, and IMO, underrated songwriter - after all these years “Trap Door” is still one of my favorite albums, one I never grow tired of hearing. And of course I feel that “Proof…” is one of his better albums, so I glad I was able to track down this double CD release. Next on my list is the CD release of “Truth Decay”.
These days Burnett has become more popular for the movies he’s worked on - among others, he did the soundtracks for Oh Brother, Where Art Thou and Walk The Line - and he is sought after as a record producer, but I see him as a thoughtful and poetic songwriter. I was glad to see that, earlier this year, he released a CD of newer songs, “The True False Identity“. I picked up that album and I enjoyed it, although I don’t feel that it is T Bone’s strongest album… my new eBay purchase double CD set is the music that is currently getting the playing time in my Honda’s CD player.
