Five fall releases worth consideration

Christmas is not only a time
to catch up on sleep. hut also a
_Record Review—
time tor tne to catch up on
some rc( ords that came out
during fall term but never got
reviewed With that exi use in
mind, let's look at five fall re
leases
Kdie Brickcll and New Bohe
mians — Shooting Rubber
bands at the Stars
Another terrific album in a
year when women turned out
the best music It's playful, it's
deep; it's offbeat, it's subtle
It's worth getting An auspi
cious debut
Crosby. Stills. Nash and
Young — American Dream
CSNY's first album since
/)e/a t’u with all four members
aboard is a mixed bag. "This
Old House," a N'eil Young song
alxiul a farmer whose land is
about to l>e repossessed. Is
sheer bliss it's heartfelt,
poignant, and oh-those harmo
nies! A few of the other songs,
mostly Neil's, arc* in the same
ballpark although not quite as
masterful There are. however,
a handful of mediocre but

pleasant tunes and a few clunk
ers.
American Dream may not la?
the album CSN'Y fans have
been dreaming about for 1H
years, but it does have its mo
ments Young's songs an? the
Is-st he's written since Rust
Sever Sleeps While ( SN's
contributions seem a bit spotty,
it's hard to get a focused opin
ion about a classic Kind s cur
rent record at the time it's re
leased. If their past release re
cord is any indication, we ll
certainly have lime (alxiut five
years) to ruminate on American
Dream
Pink Floyd — The Delicate
Sound of Thunder
I was extremely cynic al about
"Pink Floyd" reforming with
out their primary sing
er songwriter Roger Waters
Their last studio album. /\ Mo
mentary lapse of Reason, did
little to dissuade many that the
Pink Floyd name should have
been gracefully retired
Their tour, however, re
c eived good reviews and the re
c ently released live souvenir.
The Delicate Sound of Thunder
may make many people rethink
both the viability of the new
Floyd and Waters' true contri
butions to the old Floyd
The album's digitally rec ord
ed sound is incredibly c lear. .is
the band's intricate sound
would demand The soloing on
c lassies like "Shine on You
Crazy Diamond" or "Comfort
ably Numb" is gripping and
the new songs sound much bet
ter in the company of < lassu s
than they did on the studio I.P
Indeed, in main respei Is,
Floyd is better than ever Wa
ters' gloominess is gone. Dave
('.ilmour is a more pleasant
singer to listen to than Waters
was. and ('.ilmour originally
sang lead on most ol the old
material used for Thunder any
vva\ A really pleasant surprise
Keith Richards — Talk is
Cheap
If ever there was a music al
pair who needed each other,
it’s Keith Richards and Mick
Jagger. (agger's last solo album
was all hooks and no heart
Richards's record is almost the
opposite — biting guitar lines
and some unpolished nx k
songs that cry out for a front
man with some pop sensibili
ties.
Overall. Keith's is the better
solo record, mostly because
he's the best rhythm guitarist
in rock history, so it's a treat to
listen to his guitar work Plus,
his grittv sound is emotionally
honest. Anything he did would
be worth listening to. But as a
frontman. Keith can't really
carry a whole album A track or
two on a Stones album is usual
ly enough
So. is Talk is (.‘heap worth
the money? If you've always
been fanatical about Richard's
guitar playing, as i have, then
the answer is yes
The Watcrboys — Fisher
man's Blues
To quote one of the Water
boys' early songs: "Out of all of
the people I ever knew If one
should have made it It should
have been you " The Water
boys are one of the l>est bands
of the 'BOs. but also one of the
decade's best-kept secrets
Fisherman's Hines, their first
album since 1‘185's absolutely
stunning This is the Sea. marks
a retooling of the band's per
sonnel and style. .Multi-instru
mentalist Karl W'allinger left to
form World Party, to be re
placed by fiddle player Steve
Wickham Co-founder Anthony
Thistlethwaite traded in lus
saxophone for a mandolin. Be
i ause thev hailed from Ireland
and also sported a Big Sound,
the Waterbovs were forever be
ing grouped with l '2
The Walerboys' c ore
\1 ikt* Scott's impeccable
songwriting ear and impas
sioned vocals — remains, but
the musical landscape they ex
plore has changed. This shift
was commercially risky ra
dio may have gone for an Irish
hand on H2's coattails, hut al
most certainly will not go for
Fisherman's Blues This near
c ertainty is a travesty of mtisi
cal justice one of 1‘IHH's best
records should not languish in
ohst urity. Hut in radio waste
land. what else is new'
