This is a dark concept album of serene beauty and humility inspired by all sorts of personal tragedies. Arrangements are overwhelmed with violins, woodwinds, keyboards, samplers and turntables. In part the vocals register Nick Drake while at others it resembles Tom Waits whilst musically it at times echoes the demented 'blues' of Beck. But Electro-Shock Blues is no mere imitation, but an original work of substance - a desolate and 'naked' exhortation of the deeper recesses of the human soul. The counterpoint to this programme is the closing track in which a deafening orchestra of violins play to a romantic theme while the protaganist yearns to find meaning in his life. This is not just a mournful requiem, but an uplifting affirmation for life."  [+]  Reply

Of the originals, the cover of the album, that lovely shot by Robert Freeman, betrays the mood of the songs. There's a kind of autumnal melancholy about them. The first track, no reply, is one of the Beatles best, and one of the greatest openers on any of their albums. Other strong songs from Lennon-McCartney are, the Dylanish, I'm a loser, every little thing, and the U.S. no:1 single, eight days a week. As for the covers, rock and roll music, the boys take on Chuck Berry's all time classic, is my favourite of all the covers the Beatles did. Kansas city is also good, as is George's vocal spot, everybody's trying to be my baby. Not so good is, Mr moonlight, which features an absolutely appalling organ solo from Paul. Buddy Holly's words of love, is a bit forgetful too. One point I'd like to make is that I feel this album is underrated in the fact that this is arguably the first folk/rock record, alright it's not lyrically important, but it's a predominantly acoustic album, featuring folk, country, and rock'n'roll, four months before Bob Dylan released his magnificent, bringing it all back home, masterpiece. I'm certainly not comparing this record with Dylan's, no, it's more an observation really, less a claim, but I think it's an interesting point. The album though is still definitely one of the band's least essential, but it is a Beatles album, so it's still well worth having for the casual fan. For us fanatics, well, it's essential.

Townes output in 69 was better than anyone else. It was bonkers. And the production here is nearly perfect! Its so bare and breezy and simple and this gives TVZ's songs room to breathe, to float into your ears and heart and make you weep. The lyrics and the actual songs, THE SONGS!!!! are even better here than on Our Mother The Mountain. TVZ had really turned the corner in the intervening few months and turned on his next gear. To keep that sports analogy going just a bit more (I hear your groans, I'm sorry, just one second) This album represents the age 27 season of that star QB, when he is still putting up the big numbers, still scrambling aorund and showing off his gifts, still throwing it deep, but now he's throwing less interceptions, he's reading the game next level, and he goes to the championship! But he loses... and its not close. In this case cuz of a couple 30 somethings who just act as killjoys to his glory and poke holes in his schemes. But he moves onto the next season to regroup and hopefully break through. With Townes, he just continues honing his craft and makes 3 or 4 more classics and wins a couple championships. Okay, and I am done with that. Thank gawd. What I think is amazing about this Self titled Townes album is how effortless it feels. Right from the jump you are treated with one of the breeziest and subtly morunful and confused songwriting feats ever. "For The Sake of the Song" features a gorgeous guitar line from Townes (who much like Joni, is an underrated guitarist). There's a very subdued little bass line. Some pretty percussion. And over the top of this beautiful and again Breezy sound, Townes just seems to be talking to a friend about his predicament with a relationship. The internal rhyme pattern is detailed but not over the top. And you are just sitting there as the audience marvelling at how deeply thought out and intricate the observations are and how quickly the5+ minute song goes by. And this is true of the whole album. You go through this subtle, shimmering, at times deeply emotional, at other times just comfortably familiar, journey with TVZ, and you enjoy every second being in its presence. The songs here don't jump out at me. When I look at the tracklist for Our Mother The Mountain or his debut, or even Delta Momma Blues, The Late Great Townes Van Zandt or even High Low and In Between, I am struck by 3 or 4 absolute stand outs, totally memorable and singular Townes moments. With this album though, the whole album coalesces and plays just right, one song to the next, that I just know when I finish the album there is not a less than stellar track here, and I wanna push play again, and again. That is probably due to just how warm and simple the production is. There are some more flashy parts, like the groove of the bass on "Waitin' Round To Die" (oh and I suppose this song does stick out on the tracklist, so there is a correction from last paragraph). But those more fl;ashy moments are rare, and they are all in beautiful service to the songs. They make sense. The harmonica and bass groove, so dark and ominous, absolutely pushes this song over the top. It seems like Townes and his producer at the time finally realized the earthy genius of Townes, and that you didn't need bells and whistles to make these songs move mountains. The lone voice and guitar and minimal other things alone can just overcome a listener. This album is proof of that. Other examples of the extra ornamentation working beautfully here is the strangely timed bass drum rhythm on the stunning blues reimagining of "Lungs". And the gorgeous violin backing, and tambourine fun of "(Quicksilver Daydreams of) Maria". Songs like "Don't Take It Too Bad", "Colorado Girl", "None But The Rain", "I'll Be Here In the Morning" and "For The sake of the Song" seem to me like perfect examples of that distinctly Townes way of just being the most inviting, sensitive, singer/songwriter of the folk/country field. Anyway, this album is damn near perfect. And if you wanna know where to get started with becoming a huge Townes fan, here it is your best bet methinks. This album is proof that you can do a TVZ album without added stuff, and it proved that all by himself, Townes Can Zandt! (I'm sorry...) "All the mountains and the rivers And the valleys can't compare To your blue lit dancin' eyes And yellow shining hair I could never hit the open road And leave you layin' there Lay your head back easy, love, Close your cryin' eyes I'll be layin' here beside you When the sun comes on the rise I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails And the lonesome blue jay cries" -Townes Rating: 9.7/10"  [+]  Reply

Fagen took a huge risk in clashing with the monopoly of analogue recording when he created what would become the very reference album in terms of production and execution. Being the ever early bird to be entirely digitally recorded, Fagen showed the courage, the wit and ever-determined will to produce this stellar pop record. With a legendary personnel including Abraham Laboriel, Larry Carlton, Marcus Miller, Greg Phillinganes and legendary Toto drummer Jeff Porcaro, this record is ruthless in its precision and effortless execution. The lyrical themes are sophisticated autobiographical, and drawn from Fagen's fantasies from his time in the late 50's when he was fantasizing about his future days, as described in the booklet of the LP. The liner notes of the record denotes 31 session musicians included in the album, a typical example of Fagen's extreme perfectionist approach to the recording process - this tendency apparently didn't end with Steely Dan's Gaucho in '80 but continued into his debut solo album that truly is fantastic in the daring exploration in perfect sound and sophistication."  [+]  Reply
