5.0 out of 5 stars
My Favorite CD of the 21st Century, December 6, 2000
If you enjoy imaginative approaches to song making, this is a must-add CD for your collection. I've always admired the strength of Marc Black's songwriting and marveled at the live performances by his bands. From the '70s right down to the present day, Marc's chant-based songs & improvisational rave-ups have kept dancing souls movin' and groovin'. One might well say that his live gigs presaged today's "jam band" scene.
This new album showcases Marc's ballad side, as well as da funky stuff. Longtime collaborator Warren Bernhardt's production and keyboard contributions are nothing less than stellar. "Karen and Betsy" is a warm tribute to all the hippie chicks who ever spun and twirled in front of their favorite band. Other stand-out moments include the heartfelt "Wedding Song," the atmospheric "Sailor Song" and the wry social commentary contained in "Man Man."
I never take this baby out of the disc player!
