Franks + Deodato = Perfection,
By joe449 (Lakewood, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Burchfield Nines (Audio CD)
A few months ago, a neighbor of mine introduced me to the music of Michael Franks. He played me the albums 'Barefoot On the Beach,' and 'Sleeping Gypsy,' both of which I enjoyed very much. It wasn't long before I started to pick up some of his albums for my own collection.'Burchfield Nines' is my favorite Michael Franks album, and I also believe it is the most mellow of all his works. Plus, it has orchesteral arrangements by Deodato, so you know it will be sensual. If you're having a rough day, this is the album to reach for. It's the equivalent of walking barefoot on thick shag carpet. Recommendation: Try listening to "Burchfield Nines' along with James Taylor's 'In the Pocket' and Joni Mitchell's 'The Hissing of Summer Lawns' -- for the ultimate relaxing experience, 1970s style!

A New Direction,
By
This review is from: Burchfield Nines (Audio CD)
"Burchfield Nines" was released in 1978, Michael's third album for Warner Brothers. The first two releases, "Art Of Tea" and "Sleeping Gypsy" featured jazz ensembles backing Michael; the use of electric piano was heavy on those two albums, "Sleeping Gypsy" featured heavy orchestral backing. "Burchfied Nines" finds Michael in a more rock setting utilizing fuzz guitar; but not loudly. Michael's voice seems to be a bit thinner, almost fragile on the title track. As usual, word play and brilliant poetry abound, give a listen to the sleepy but masterful "Vilvadi's Song" and the playful "In Search Of The Perfect Shampoo." The opening track "When The Cookie Jar Is Empty" is comical and "A Robinsong" is one of the more upbeat tunes. At this point in his career, Michael continues to shift toward other musical directions, he never returns to the theme of this album which makes "Burchfield Nines" stand out on it's own.

A departure from the first two,
By stephen c. burgiel (w.palm beach, fl. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Burchfield Nines (Audio CD)
This is a fine C.D., it`s a a real departure from "Art of tea" and"Sleeping Gypsy". I own every C.D. by Micheal Franks,none are bad, this one`s a bit more mellow, but the title track is the best.. Stephen C.Burgiel
