Driscoll is NOT Janis Joplin, April 25, 2007
This review is from: If Your Memory Serves You Well (Audio CD)
Much of the material on this disc, especially the Auger titles, have nothing to do with Jools. The instrumental
work "Fool Killer" & "Kiko" show the jazz underpinings of Auger's Oblivion Express. I was not impressed by
" Oh, baby won't you come back home to Croyden" however. It's as if Auge & Trinity only share disc space with Driscoll.
To sample Jools I highly recommend "I know You Love Me Not". This song brings comparisons to Dusty Springfield' s "The Look Of Love" and Burt Bacharach's production style, it's 60's sophisticated and powerful.
I broke out my vinyl lp Jools & Brian for comparison. The liner notes quote EYE magazine's "the Janis Joplin of
Great Britain" label for Ms Driscoll, she's not close. Her later works were much stronger but "I Know You Love Me Not" is almost worth the price.
