One of the great debates in music is the importance of Trout Mask Replica: is it one of the greatest albums ever made, or is it simply a complete pile of rubbish? Listening casually may cause you to think the latter…but serious and closer inspections might just win you over. Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart) was a high school friend of Frank Zappa, who gave him free studio reign in 1968 after 2 failed albums. The results are stunning, and on a par with (and at times, even better than) Zappa’s best early experimental work. Make no mistake: Trout Mask Replica is nowhere near the mainstream, and it’s nothing you could ever call normal. In Beefhearts own words, this album can be maybe best decribed as “fast and bulbous”.

There are times when things just sound like disjointed noise. Then you suddenly realize that the music has morphed into something beautiful like “Pachuco Cadaver”. Crazy ramblings turn into amazing jams, and Beefheart goes from nut job to genius in less than a song. Zappa put his name on this for a reason… this is a stunning piece of work, and as a whole, makes more sense than any single part should. Beefheart never got close to repeating the genius of this album, and was done recording altogether by 1983. But he did get it all right one time, which is good enough. One of the most accurate album reviews ever written said simply this: “Forty plus years later, Trout Mask Replica still sounds as if it was made tomorrow”. Amen to that.

1983 – PORTRAIT
Produced By RICK CHERTOFF & WILLIAM WITTMAN

1. Money Changes Everything
2. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
3. When You Were Mine
4. Time After Time
5. She Bop
6. All Through The Night
7. Witness
8. I’ll Kiss You
9. He’s So Unusual
10. Yeah Yeah
11. Money Changes Everything (Live)
12. She Bop (Live)
13. All Through The Night (Live)

If Cyndi Lauper’s career had gone forward with a steady trajectory from her debut album, She’s So Unusual, she may have been the biggest star of the eighties, and beyond. Instead, she went off in enough weird directions as to alienate her fans and pretty much everyone else. But in the beginning…there was this kinda odd looking girl who was sort of hot in ways that felt somewhat dangerous. She giggled, she squealed, and she had a howitzer of a voice. This album was a blueprint for mallrats everywhere, a kind of dirty Madonna alternative. She was just enough punk, she was all new wave, she had attitude, and she was the 80’s poster child for spunk.

And she had some great songs on this record. “Money Changes Everything” was a cover from The Brains. She also covers Prince (“When You Were Mine”) and Jules Shear (“All Through The Night”). “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” was the eighties girl anthem, and her “Time After Time” is wonderful. And don’t forget the greatest song about masturbation ever…”She Bop”. Some of the side two tracks are weaker, but this is a true new wave classic. She went on to do “True Colors”, then slipped mostly into oblivion and a strange association with weirdo pro wrestlers like Capt. Lou Albano and his beard with rubberbands in it (?). But this debut album is Cyndi Lauper in all her strange, spunky and excellent glory.

2002-ROUGH TRADE
Produced By MICK JONES

1. Vertigo
2. Death On The Stairs
3. Horrorshow
4. Time For Heroes
5. Boys In The Band
6. Radio America
7. Up The Bracket
8. Tell The King
9. The Boy Looked At Johnny
10. Begging
11. The Good Old Days
12. I Get Along
13. What A Waster

The Libertines had a whole lot of hype to live up to. Their debut album, Up The Bracket, was billed as the album that saved the whole of British rock music. And, while it’s certainly an excellent album, it’s not THAT excellent. It may have, however, pushed the British music scene into a better direction, but no one could have single handedly saved it. Except for maybe The Beatles. But that’s another story. The Libertines debut showcases a band of crazy, drugged up loud punks being directed by Mick Jones of The Clash through a series of nearly out of control bursts of loud and fast rock and roll. The crowd went crazy, and guitarist Pete Doherty almost became a drug casualty for it, his crack addiction leading him to break into his bandmate Carl Barat’s home to feed his addiction. They were able to hang together for one more album before breaking up in 2004, with Doherty’s addiction being the central issue. This was certainly a band that could have gone on to bigger and better things…but we’ll never know.

The breakthrough song was “What A Waster”, added as a bonus track on the American release. “The Boy Looked At Johnny” (the title is a reference to a Patti Smith lyric) and “The Boys In The Band” are magical, great punk songs, certainly benefitting from the experience of Jones. The title track and “Time For Heroes” are also excellent. The playing is loose, fast, and at times out of control. The writing is a bit underdeveloped, but you could tell that they were on their way to better things. Up The Bracket is an album of loaded promise, of things that might have been but never really were, and of a lot of fun and “unbridled enthusiasm”. Hard to believe that they were over within two years. Message to kids: drugs are bad, m’kay? Pick this album up, though. It’s a really worthwhile listen if you like punk at all. It recalls the older version of the genre really nicely.

2010 – ARISTA NASHVILLE
Produced By KEITH STEGALL

1. Hard Hat And A Hammer
2. Every Now And Then
3. After 17
4. It’s Just That Way
5. Freight Train
6. Taillights Blue
7. I Could Get Used To This Lovin’ Thing
8. Till The End (Feat. Lee Ann Womack)
9. That’s Where I Belong
10. Big Green Eyes
11. True Love Is A Golden Ring
12. The Best Keeps Getting Better

Alan Jackson has been a mainstay of country music since the late eighties, helping to keep Nashville as honest as he can by staying true to his neotraditional roots. Freight Train is album number fourteen for Jackson, falling just short of being his sixth consecutive number one. What you get from Jackson on Freight Train is what you always get. Well played real country music that stays away from the Nashville pop formulas. Jackson wrote just over half of the songs here, and the musicianship is outstanding. His voice is solid and strong and reassuring. This is one of those great country singers that you simply can’t go wrong with, because he releases albums that are always very good. And as a bonus, that train on the cover is pretty darn neat.

The high points here are, as is always the case with Jackson, what you want his albums for. “It’s Just That Way” and “Hard Hat And A Hammer” are not the number one hits he used to have, but they are really fine. Where this album really shines is in the upbeat material. “I Could Get Used To This Lovin’ Thing” has a great bouncy and catchy chorus, while the fiery playing on the title track is worth having the album for alone. And the duet with Lee Ann Womack, “Till The End”, recalls the days of George and Tammy. Alan Jackson’s devotion to the traditional roots of Nashville is more than admirable…it’s something we should be thankful for. Thanks for keeping this brand of country music alive and thriving. Jackson’s albums are all worth at least a listen or two.
