1996-ATLANTIC
Produced By DAVE BROWN & THE GATHERING FIELD

1. Lost In America
2. Rhapsody In Blue
3. Bound To Be
4. Middle Road
5. Midnight Ghost
6. Are You An Angel?
7. Love Me Good
8. Win You Back Suzanne
9. And I Wanted
10. The Sould Is Human
11. Blue Sky Song

The Gathering Field recorded this album in 1995, and they became big favorites in Pittsburgh. A radio station caught ahold of "Lost In America" and made it a local hit, which got the group a deal with Atlantic Records. After re-releasing the album, they were lost in the corporate shuffle, leading to them getting out of their contract and back into obscurity. Which is too bad, becuase this could have been big. This is a fine roots rock album. Bill Deasy's songs are about Kerouac and Americana, and the band, led by Dave Brown's lead guitar, is excellent.

"Lost In America" is a fine song. "Rhapsody In Blue", "Bound To Be", and "Are You An Angel?" all could have been hits. The band recorded two more independant albums before breaking up in 2002. If you can find this one, it's well worth having. A fine debut album from a band that should have gone places.

Candlebox was very promising. They took their name from a Midnight Oil lyric, they came from Seattle at a time when being from Seattle was everything, and were the first band signed to Madonna's Maverick label. The debut album showed a lot of promise, and it looked like Candlebox was destined to do great things. And everyone had this album. To the point where I've had it offered to me for free no fewer than 5 times. The copy I had was given to me by someone who didn't want it.

The album is highlighted by the guitar work of Peter Klett, particularly on "Rain". So why does this album bug me? I think that it's the melody lines and the vocals. The band sounds great, but singer Kevin Martin never seems to go where you want him to. It makes the songs seem less than what they can be. Still, the promise is there (their 2nd album, Lucy, did not deliver, however). It's a decent debut, but I still don't think it's a great one.

5. The People
6. Curly Lips
7. Everything, All At Once Forever

One of the easiest ways to get a garage band jamming is to start playing any kind of a cool guitar lick. The rest of the band will join in, and you have the makings of a 20 minute workout. This is the world of Th’ Faith Healers, a British band that made two albums in the mid 90’s based on exactly that premise. Part of what was known as the Camden Lurch scene (all music in the UK is apparently required to be part of a named scene), this band thrived on repetition. It was all about finding a cool groove, driving it around for awhile, and hopefully stopping before you beat it into the ground. Imaginary Friend is the Healer’s last album, and they mostly did a great job of keeping the listener engaged. The first six tracks are catchy, great sounding pieces of groove that are interesting and that work very well. In fact, had they come up with one or two more to run the album to about 40 minutes, this would easily be a five star entry.

Aaaand then we have track number seven. “Everything, All At Once Forever” is how the band rode into the sunset. The first six songs come in at a combined 32 minutes. This song is a repetitive, monotonous, and if you concentrate on it, almost unlistenable torturous 40 minutes long. It could have easily been a good song at about six or seven minutes tops, but they just kept going. And going. The best way to listen to Imaginary Friend is to just stop it when it starts eating your brain. Trust me…it doesn’t get any better. Which really is too bad, because the rest of the album is quite good. Particularly, “The People” has a great groove, which they ride to perfection. It’s understandable that they split up after this. And it’s too bad that they left us with such a stinker of a track at the end of this album. Again…listen to the first six songs, then turn it off when you need to.

1994-DCG
Produced By TONI CHILDS & DAVID BOTTRILL

1. Womb
2. Welcome To The World
3. Predator
4. I Just Want Affection
5. I Met A Man
6. The Woman's Boat
7. Wild Bride
8. Sacrifice
9. Lay Down Your Pain
10. Long Time Coming
11. Death

The Woman's Boat is the third solo album from Toni Childs. Guys, be prepared to get in touch with your feminine side. The album is a spiritual journey through the life and death of a woman, but there's nothing sisterhoodly or traveling pantslike about it. Childs uses a mixture of world beat rythyms, rock, and her harsh voice, and the results are solid. The album has spots where it drags, but it's overall very well done. Guest spots from Peter Gabriel & Robert Fripp help out as well.

Despite the fact that Childs was nominated for a Grammy for this album, it sold very poorly (unfortunately...), and she was virtually unheard of for the next 14 years. This is one that should pleasantly surprise you if you can find it...it's been out of print for several years now.

10. (9) Down 1
1973 – REPRISE
Produced By CHRIS THOMAS

1. Child’s Christmas In Wales
2. Hanky Panky Nohow
3. The Endless Plain Of Fortune
4. Andalucia
5. Macbeth
6. Paris 1919
7. Graham Greene
8. Half Past France
9. Antarctica Starts Here

While a member of The Velvet Underground, John Cale was the out there, avant garde element of the group. Kicked out by Lou Reed in 1968 for wanting to take their music completely over the deep end, Cale embarked on a long and winding solo career that has had its rewards and its major missteps. But his third album, Paris 1919, marked the beginning of his most fruitful and excellent period. Procol Harum producer Chris Thomas brings the strings (The UCLA Symphony), and Little Feat’s Lowell George brings some nice melodic guitar to Cale’s most accessible and beautiful album. Named after the 1919 Paris Peace Conference that many believe was where the seeds of Germany’s Third Reich were planted, this album of surprisingly lovely tracks carries a theme of life in early 20th century Europe. Cale does turn it up a notch for “Macbeth”, but the rest is more peaceful and pop than Cale has ever been, before or since.

The most tuneful songs are the best here. “Hanky Panky Nohow”, “Andalucia”, and especially the title track could have been hits for Cale, and they stand up very well so many years later. The period for Cale between this album in 1973 through his next three albums, Fear, Slow Dazzle and Helen Of Troy, are his strongest, but it’s on Paris 1919 where you get to hear him at his best as a writer. The man known as rock’s strange viola player got it mostly right here, and while many of his other works can be somewhet alienating, this album stays strong and coherent. John Cale may have been a secondary player in the Velvet’s to Reed, but after he was gone, his absence was not a minor thing. This is as good as you’ll hear John Cale, and it’s a great place to start (outside of the Velvet’s early albums, of course) with one of rock’s greatest eccentrics and creative forces.
