I had the good fortune of seeing Joseph Arthur at eTown Hall in Boulder soon after the release of The Ballad of Boogie Christ. eTown co-host Nick Forster remarked at one point that the eponymous protagonist of this concept album could easily be a resident of Redemption City, a fictional metropolis that was the title of Arthur's previous album. This album never got that much attention either from listeners or critics (which I guess you could also say about Arthur's career as a whole), but I rate it among his stream-of-consciousness best, as in these lines from "I Miss the Zoo": "I miss exposing my bones and the need that rewinds / Even my burning home, even my gutted inner child / Even my dead grandfather beneath the ground that's wild / Even my criminal family, even my weedwhacker thoughts / Whipping a thin plastic string to cut the ears of others as I sing / I miss van Gogh's revenge, I miss his nightly binge / I miss spiders surrounding my bed and lifting me as if an effigy / Or a Dead King or a prophet of doom / A Jesus for the apocalypse wearing dirt like perfume." Yep, that's a day in the life for a character with a name like Boogie Christ.
