Jimmy Lott’s “Not Enough Love” is an album ten years in the making, but perhaps Lott needed all of that time, all of those life experiences, to fashion such a solid, diverse, and mature album. Fueled by acoustic work on guitar and piano, Lott touches base in the folk, rock, blues, Americana, and country genres and skillfully crafts beautiful arrangements throughout. Lott has the raw, weathered vocals and country twang reminiscent of latter Bob Dylan, occasionally accompanied by a stunning female backing vocal. Lott’s songs are original and poignant, both political, about soldiers and war, and socially conscious, about the world running out of love, the rich getting richer, and moving west. “Not Enough Love” is well-produced and sounds excellent, from the soft piano ballads to the lively Americana tracks, and everything in between. “Ain’t No Use” is a bluesy track with nice acoustic and keyboard work, a rhythmic drumbeat, and a great vocal performance from Lott. “Rich People” is a cynical, socially conscious track about “those poor, poor, poor rich people” with great acoustic work and memorable lyrics, including, “Rich people don’t get rained on/Rich people don’t have to stand in line.” With “Not Enough Love,” Jimmy Lott has resoundingly returned to the music world and put himself out there with a musically diverse, well-crafted album. Fans of great acoustic work and latter day Dylan should definitely pick this one up.
