Take "He Wasn't Murdered," for example. wasn't murdered or lost or ransomed off," Johnst sings, "He walked out on his own/With a rain to v his conscience off." Never Homeis ati lyrical best, however, when Johnston si about the torments of past lovers. "One More Thing to Break" perfectly reveals bitter side ("Demolition by words/Wreck all over town"), while "Seventies Girl" t the pain of a breakup into an overly cut allegory ("We fell apart/Just like that dress"). s And so, while Never Home doesn't infect your mi insidiously as Freedy's past work, he remains a m of the sort of complex, engaging songwriting tha rewards the diligent listener. -Greg Emmanuel
