Editorial Reviews

Pearls Before Swine's sixth and last Warner/Reprise album originally released in 1971. Ten Tom Rapp originals, plus a beautiful cover of Leonard Cohen's ''Bird On A Wire.'' There is a dark angel's purity in these songs and all of them are of a piece musically and philosophically linked with all of the others. Includes deluxe booklet with photos & new liner notes. Water. 2003.

This review is from: Beautiful Lies You Could Live in (Audio CD)

This release represents a strong chapter in the Pearls' story. While not quite as strong as the Use of Ashes (my personal favorite out of the whole discography) it is definitely in the ballpark. There are one or two "commercial" songs on this, but many are not (in my mind meaning more "creative") and a few represent some of his best writing ("Snow Queen" in particular is very haunting, very moving). While I feel that 3 or 4 Pearls/Tom Rapp releases are better than this, if you are a Pearls fan you will definitely not regret getting this one.
