Vince Guaraldi will forever be linked to the Peanuts cartoon, particularly the TV special from 1965 called A Charlie Brown Christmas. This soundtrack album was Guaraldi’s eight release, and it’s his most memorable. Guaraldi’s most famous moment is the track “Linus And Lucy”, which became the sort of unofficial Peanuts theme song. And yes…it IS technically a Christmas album, and here I am writing about it in October. Well…it’s not ALL about Christmas. Mostly, but not all. What you get here is a fine dose of what Guaraldi does best: simple yet beautiful piano arrangements with light bass and drum backing. But because it is recorded for a children’s TV special, there are children here, too. Lots of them, in spots, a choir, actually.

The children are used sparingly, thank goodness. Outside of their annoying inclusion (especially on the “Little Drummer Boy” soundalike “My Little Drum”), this is a really great and very listenable album, even when it’s not December. “Linus And Lucy” is, of course, one of the most popular jazz tracks of all time, but there are other gems here. Especially Guaraldi’s take on “O Tannenbaum”, which is simply a lovely piano take on the holiday classic. In the end, A Charlie Brown Christmas is listenable at any time because it doesn’t feel like a Christmas album. If you take away the three songs featuring the children’s chorus, this would be a perfect piano jazz album. As it is, it’s still very good, and folks like me can take it down in December and say, “See? I have Christmas music!”

2011 – PAW TRACKS

Noah Lennox is Panda Bear, and Tomboy is his fourth solo album. Coming off of the huge success of the Panda Bear album Person Pitch and the Animal Collective release Merriweather Post Pavillion, the expectations for Tomboy were pretty high. And while Tomboy is not as complete and thrilling as those two records, it’s still a really great effort. Lennox continues to utilize his layering of vocals with wonderful results (although lyrics tend to be lost in the effects), but he also switches directions and instead of relying on samples, uses some really unique guitar effects. And while Tomboy still has the beautiful sounds of its predecessors, it lacks a bit in terms of excitement and drive. In other words, it seems to be a slowed down version of what makes his music so intriguing.

Still…there are some really breathtaking moments here. “Tomboy” and “Surfer’s hymn” are perfectly done, and “Last Night At The Jetty” and “You Can Count On Me” are almost as good. And when it’s upbeat, it’s pretty great. But the lack of lyrical involvement (imagine…someone who grew up listening to 70’s hard rock complaining about not being able to make out the words?) is kind of off-putting. There is a definite disconnect when you can’t understand what the songs are about. But otherwise, the magic that Panda Bear has always been able to put down on record is still here, and Tomboy is still a pretty great experience. This is an artist that very rarely missteps, and while not perfect, this is still a really fine effort. Definitely worth checking out.

2008 – MERCURY NASHVILLE
Produced By CARSON CHAMBERLAIN & BILLY CURRINGTON

1. Swimmin’ In Sunshine
2. Life And Love And The Meaning Of
3. Every Reason Not To Go
4. Don’t
5. People Are Crazy
6. Everything
7. Walk On

10. I Shall Return
11. Heal Me

By definition, country pop is the melding of country and mainstream pop music with the hope of selling more music. It’s hard to find anyone who has benefitted from that marriage of musical styles more than Billy Currington. Between 2005 and 2010, he had three straight albums reach #2 on the US country charts and sell over a million copies. The second of those three albums was Little Bit Of Everything. Currington’s best asset, his voice, is on full display here. And thankfully so, because something had to save this set of mostly bland rock songs with corny lyrics from a really terrible fate. The playing is just fine, but the arrangements are uninspired and unremarkable, and lyrically, no one is breaking any new ground or saying anything really worth repeating.

Even so, there were three sizable hits from this record. “Don’t” sounds like a non hit album cut from a non-hard rock band from the 80’s. “People Are Crazy” imparts the wisdom of “God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy”. It also sounds nothing at all like country. “That’s How Country Boys Roll” is better than what Jason Aldean does, but not by much, and matches lines about barbecue and beer with a few power chords. Currington has almost zero twang, which makes his southern sensibilities seem pretty insincere. And that’s how the peak of Currington’s career went. He has since made a puzzling move away from country pop, and has had some unfortunate scrapes with the law which led to his enrolling in some anger management classes. If you must, have at it. But if not, you’re not missing much.

Grant Lee Buffalo was an exclusively 90’s band. Between 1993 and 1998, they released four albums before their label basically told them that they were outdated. Front man Grant-Lee Phillips embarked on a solo career that has been much longer and much more successful, but we do still have the four albums that this band made. Mighty Joe Moon is the second of the four, and was the most successful. It wasn’t huge by any means, but it did sell fairly well. The album, like the band, was mostly ignored. Which is too bad, because even though these guys weren’t as big as Nirvana and Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, they did make some pretty fine music, and their albums were always of good quality. They just never had that one song that caught everyone’s ear. But they had just about everything else.

The best tracks here, “Lone Star Song”, “Honey Don’t Think” and “Mockingbirds”, show just how underrated these guys were. Phillips, drummer Joey Peters and bassist / keyboardist / producer Paul Kimble made cool music for cool people that unfortunately went mostly unheard. A good portion of Mighty Joe Moon is acoustic and almost gloomy, but it’s still a joy to listen to. Their next album, Copperopolis, did fairly well, but the label pulled the plug on promoting their fourth album, Jubilee, when it tested poorly (and unfairly) at radio stations, leading to the end of the band. There’s still Phillips, who continues to make interesting and fine music, but Mighty Joe Moon stands as a reminder that Grant Lee Buffalo deserved a whole lot better than what they got. Definitely worth hearing.

In 2009, there was no escaping from the music and the phenomenon of Florence + The Machine. Their debut album, Lungs, was pushed hard by the British press and became a number one hit. And even though this was their lowest charting release in America, it was still everywhere. And we were seemingly all captivated. The best thing about Lungs is the vocal force that is Florence Welch. She sings big on every track, which made it all seem like the greatest musical discovery in who knows so many years. Truth is, despite boasting six hit singles and being the talk of the music business, Lungs was a good album…but it was never as great as it was made out to be. Looking back, it’s almost sad that this record fell short of all the hype.

But it is very good. It’s just not perfect. The hits were as big as they were based on the moments that Welch had vocally, but overall, the songs here are what misses the mark. There isn’t a lot of variety here, and as a result, the songs begin to sound all the same. They are very well played, and expertly sung, but by the time it’s over, you barely even notice. The hits are worth having: “Kiss With A Fist”, “Cosmic Love”, “Dog Days Are Over”, “You’ve Got The Love” and the rest, but I guess that the bottom line is this: if you expect too much from this, you can be easily disappointed. The rest of the Machine catalog has sold well, but this is the biggest one of them all. Lungs is a fine record that fares better with lesser expectations…if that makes any kind of sense.

Strange band, this one. The La’s formed in 1983, and recorded their highly acclaimed and popular debut album in 1990. And then they broke up. There are 27 former members of this band. So what’s the deal? Well, by the time the band went into the studio, they seemed to be already splitting up. A parade of (somewhat impressive) producers were brought in and shown the door. Nothing was working. Eventually, Steve Lilywhite patched the different takes together into something that the label could release…and the band hated it. And finally, the band splintered because they were simply tired of having played the same small group of songs for the last seven years, with no change in sight. And so, with the exception of a few live show partial reunions over the years, The La’s were over.

The album is not as bad as the band would lead you to believe. The song that made them one hit wonders was “There She Goes”, which is a jangle pop dream. “Way Out”, “Feelin’”, and “Timeless Melody” were also singles, but didn’t fare as well. Even though the songs are terrific, the production of the album is scattered and confusing, thanks in large part to the demands of singer and songwriter Lee Mavers. Still, the songs win in the end. The La’s are one of those bands where you have to ask yourself, what if they had continued on? We will never know, but the fact that this disc is still around and still matters to the degree it does speaks volumes. The La’s are a prime example of “what if”, and they will always stay that way. The album is worth having, and not just for “There She Goes”.
