Taste Test: Brian Lambert becomes just a ‘Bad Cliche of a Country Song’
The Texas singer-songwriter addresses his own downward spiral on a new song.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Quiet desperation from a breakup creeps up on you. When you least expect it, wham! You’re left to your own devices, booze coating your stomach and numbing away all sense of reality. With a taste for rock and Americana, Texas performer Brian Lambert succumbs to the unwitting demons, almost stepping outside of himself with sharp self-awareness. On “Bad Cliche of a Country Song,” a sloshy bar top romper, he sees himself become nearly as pathetic as those characters found wandering the halls of the most classic of weepy beer tunes. “Daddy tried to raise me right / So momma don’t cry,” he sweeps the listener across the amber haze of some dive-bar downtown. The smoke rings blend, perhaps harmoniously, or more aptly, quite tragically, with the bourbon on ice. But Lambert continues to swirl the two together until he can’t feel one damn thing.
