"This album was huge in Britain, where 'Grace Kelly', 'Love Today' and 'Relax (Take it Easy)' were big hits. Did not deserve the apathy it received in the states. It's worthwhile to pay attention to the British music charts, and this album proves it."  Reply

If you want certain songs, I.e; I feel fine, she loves you, paperback writer, lady Madonna, hey jude, the ballad of John and Yoko, and more, you need to buy the compilations. For example, if you wanted, we can work it out, you either have to buy the single disc, 1, the excellent mop up, but sonically uneven album, past masters, or this one. What are you going to do? . I would say this and it's companion album 1967-1970 are the most enjoyable Beatles compilations out there. Off course if you want, rain, revolution, you need, past masters, as well. Off course, you can simply download the tracks you want and make your own comps. I personally am like you, I'm not a big fan of compilations either, and with most bands/artists you can avoid them, with The Beatles/Stones/Who/Kinks, you can't, you simply need them. Anyway, if you've got all The Beatles LP's, the only compilation you need is, past masters, although that is the least enjoyable one. "  [+]  Reply

"IMO, this is the greatest hard rock debut album of all time. There is not a single bad track on the album; absolutely no filler. Ronnie Montrose is extremely under-rated as a guitar player. It angers me that this album is virtually forgotten by most people when discussing debut albums."  Reply

With your attention, her voice carries you to the "valley of the shadow" where deep red bells "ring this tragic gun". I hear emmylou in her voice. The album sounds romantic and almost lustful, but the lyrics are more disturbed. A lady pilot claims "Stars can't fight city lights / They've turned their backs on us " and "All the lonely houses stand like monuments To thieves " and "If I meet you in the night / You're free to covet all you like " in "tightly". (Advice: take her up on it!) Later she seduces "When you've lived it up till it's got you down...Look for me, I'll be around (Advice: take her up on it!) "pretty girls" and "runnin' out of fools" are the highlights. Lovers abound for "pretty girls" with "curves so comely and sinister". Her cover of "runnin' out of fools" is heart-tugging and somewhat sad at the ending refrain. (in a good way)"  [+]  Reply

I listened to it several times in a row without stopping and haven't stopped listening to it for 20 years. In the span of albums from "Box" through "Under the Stars," Robert Pollard draws inspiration from the entire history of rock after about 1965, possibly paying tribute or even satirizing the sensibility of Bowie in the early 70s, Pink Floyd, the Beatles and Stones, Genesis and obscure prog, plus 70s art-pop like Wire and the Clean. Earlier GBV albums like "Bee Thousand," "Alien Lanes" and "Same Place the Fly Got Smashed" seem to have more satirical or humorous moments (e.g. "Blatant Doom Trip," "Hot Freaks" and "Chicken Blows") while "Under the Bushes" is more of a serious musical effort full of beauty, nostalgia and emotional power. There are still some funny references to psychedelia and Ziggy Stardust-era mod sensibilities, sometimes by Tobin Sprout ("It's Like Soul Man"). ... Pollard's practice of sequencing many short tracks, each one built on a strong musical concept, might have been inspired by the series of tracks that ends The Beatles' "Abbey Road" or the entirety of the White Album. And "Under the Bushes" draws particular inspiration from Genesis' "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway." You can here it in moody, watery passages and lyrical content, lots of references to marine life as a metaphor for sexual discovery and the mystery of biological urges. (A psychedelic take on human reproduction is one of Pollard's main themes throughout his career, along with transportation, middle class American life and alcoholism.) So on the Genesis album, we have aquatic sexual symbols like "lamia" that are part of a story of adolescent sexual discovery, while on "Under the Bushes" we have "Underwater Explosions" and the surreal life forms of "Look at Them." ("Look at them, they're sensitive, and they inch out.") "Burning Flag Birthday Suit" is most evocative of early Genesis prog tracks with its changing, contemplative musical narrative and completely surreal lyrics that might be symbolic of nothing and refer only to psychedelic and prog-rock surrealism in general. In other words, it might only be a formal reference without any symbolic content. Of course the greatest strength of this album is in the melodies and song structures, inspired by years of listening to the Beatles, prog rock and psychedelic folk. I also think Pollard's expressive, Peter Gabriel style of singing is one of the reasons I keep coming back to the album. Some of the most memorable moments are in the pleading choruses of "Acorns and Orioles," "No Sky" and "Look at Them," the melancholia of "Bright Paper Werewolves" and the spinning chandeliers of "Big Boring Wedding."

"MENTOR & MUSE Well you really got me this time And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive I have come to listen for the sound Of the trucks as they move down Out on ninety five And pretend that it's the ocean Coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean (Boulder to Birmingham) Why did you go ...""MENTOR & MUSE Well you really got me this time And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive I have come to listen for the sound Of the trucks as they move down Out on ninety five And pretend that it's the ocean Coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean (Boulder to Birmingham) Why did you go why did you go Don't you know don't you know I need you (Sleepless Nights) Emmylou was an army brat from the South who thought country music was “boring.” As Harris later recounted, “You have to grow up, start paying the rent and have your heart broken before you understand country.” No. Folk was where it was at for young Emmylou. It was the mid-60s after all. Dylan was king. And Joan Baez was queen. And like countless other girls her age and of her time she dropped out of college & headed to The Village to be the next Joan Baez. “I mean, what girl back then didn’t want to be her?” Emmylou gushed. And for a little window of time it looked like she just might! She had the looks. The voice. And fell in with a talented songwriting boyfriend turned husband named Tom Slocum who had contacts in the record industry. And before you know it, she had a record contract and a debut album - Gliding Bird! But, her timing sucked. Her label bit the dust. Gliding Bird flopped. (Emmylou now disowns it pretty much and consider THIS her real debut. Personally, time is short and no one seems to high on it so I’ll just trust the pretty lady until Mercury tells me different. lol.) And before you know it, she was a divorced single mom trying to raise her baby on food stamps. So like any smart, well adjusted kid will do, she moved back home. (To an actual farm believe or not just on the outskirts of Washington DC.) Dreams of being the next Joan Baez dashed just like a thousand other pretty girls. In other words, she was now ready for her Country awakening. For Gram. And so much of life is just persevering and continuing to be ready. You never know when your luck may change. When the providence of the Gods may smile on you. So she didn’t give up. She started a little folk band and started playing gigs around DC. And divine Providence in the guise of the Gram Parsons showed up. On a hot tip from fellow Flying Burrito brother in arms, and former Byrdman,Chris Hillman. Baby brought me in out off the highway Poured my right good liquor down the sink Straightened out my crooked ways of thinking And made it purely pleasure when I drank (Bluebird wine) She’s talking about Gram of course. Yet again. The album is filled with references to him. How he saved her. Mentored her. Showed her his take on music. His vision of what country music could & should be. Cosmic American Music he called it. And Gram’s vision was so pure & inspired that it infected everybody around him. They would become instantaneously inflicted with his country bug.Whether it be striking up a conversation in a bank line at the Beverly Hills bank with Chris Hillman of the Byrds, singlehandedly taking over the creative reigns of one the most popular American bands of the entire 1960s as a freakin’ nobody, or convincing Emmylou to drop everything and join him on his quest for cosmic country goodness. Gram just had one of those magnetic personalities that could convince you of pretty much anything. Like Steve Jobs. There’s even a name for it - a Reality Distortion Field (look it up if you don’t believe me!). And Gram had one of the biggest Fields in all of music history. Now the Queen of the Silver Dollar Is not as haughty as she seems She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams But there's a MAN who found her And he brought her to this world He's the one who made a queen of a simple country girl (Queen of The Silver Dollar) While the did they or didn’t they (they didn’t) gossip tends to overshadow most of the story, the real story is one of a girl being tutored to become The Queen of the Silver Dollar - a bonafide Country star. Something she wouldn’t even have comprehended just five years earlier. She got her divorce. She got her album flop failure. She got her hurt. She became intimately (but not the way you think) involved in one of the most legendary tragedies in Country Rock history. And she got her purpose and her muse all rolled in the same tragedy. Like the last bearer of a long family line, she was determined to carry out Gram’s vision. To spread his good word all through the land. It was missionary work. But it gave her a purpose. I would walk all the way from boulder to Birmingham If i thought I could see, I could see your face (Boulder to Birmingham) And a purpose in life is extremely important. It may be the most important thing. Most of us have don’t have one. We don’t have the vision. Gram had technicolor vision.And whereas Gram had the vision, Emmylou had the ambition and discipline. And thus became aa country juggernaut who carried Gram’s torch of Cosmic American country and inspired countless country and rock singer for decades to come. And consequently Gram takes on an almost Christ like reference for Emmylou on this album. The man that saved her. Showed her the light. And became her perfect muse. Forever. Grade: A. Allmusic.com calls this album “eclectic”. But it’s really not. It’s charm is that it's straight forward and most of all sincere. Emmylou wears her heart on her sleeve on these songs. In less capable hands some one of these songs could have turned saccharine or syrupy. But they are so tastefully done, so movingly played, that all one feels is the passion, the sorrow, the love. The pain. It was the perfect cross-over album. Firmly rooted in the basics of Gram’s Cosmic American Country but with the appeal and and vibe to cash in on 70s female singer songwriters scene that was all the rage back then. And it worked. Emmylou was finally Joan Baez. It just took her ten years and the perfect mentor & muse. Emmylou and Gram’s love will live forever. And their perfect platonic love plunks down at number 35 on The Essentials list. "  [+]  Reply
