The Sad Lament
of Pecos Bill On The Eve of Killing His Wife
play by Sam Shepard
The music,
an off-center fusion of honky-tonk feistiness and wistful
Western ballad, charmingly matches the double tone of Shepards
words: part extravagantly silly hyperbole; part bewildered elegy.
Ben
Brantley, The New York Times
The effective
new score, jumping from ragtime and country ballad to free jazz
and plaintive pop ... all makes a refreshing, postmodern
mixthe gravity of opera seria, the plangent but uncomplaining
cool of country music, and the quaint, bright colors
of folklore.
Michael Feingold, Village Voice
...
in the brilliant Pecos Bill ... utterly convincing emotion.
The
New Yorker
Its
melodic country-western sound ... results in a jaunty sliver
of a musical, tinged with a dark note of regret.
Alexis
Greene, Newark Star Ledger
Urban Zulu
Mambo
Kia Corthron, Suzan Lori-Parks, Entozake Shange, and Regina Taylor
Regina
Taylors performance is ... matched by the vigor and mystery
of Loren Toolajians sound and original music.

Brantley, The New York Times
