in all, no classic, but great music
nonetheless. Consonant will perform
at John 1 lenry's on Sept. 23.
The latest from Michael Franti and
Spearhead, "Everybody Deserves Mu
sic," could take a cue from Conley's
lyrical sense. The album is well-pro
duced — not that great production is
a novelty — providing a nice mix of
danceable Latin, reggae, rap and funk
beats. The problem lies almost entire
ly with the lyrics, which call for social
change, peace, love and unity using
all the profound wisdom of a
bumper sticker.
"You can bomb the world to pieces,
but you can't bomb it to peace," is
about as subtle as it gets here. The
whole album reeks of the worst sort of
sappy Quincy Jones-produced "We
Are the World" idealism, lhese kind of
lyrics belong plastered to the back of a
Volvo, not in music. Most songwriters
today would be embarrassed to speak
such saccharine nonsense, as this kind
of naive, idealistic quality died with
John Lennon. "Give Peace a Chance,"
anyone? Franti and the gang will be
appearing at the McDonald Theatre
on Sept. 25.
If you want great music done right,
My Morning Jacket's major-label de
but, "It Still Moves," would be a good
place to start. The album is full of
standard rock formats filtered
through echo, distortion and other
studio trickery, and it combines such
unlikely elements as country, indie
rock, soul and 1950s R&B. The band
takes this garbage heap of influences
and uses it to create a sonic landscape
radically different from anything else
being done in music today.
It's amazing that this was recorded
in a homemade studio in the upper
floor of a bam. The vocals are laden
with so much reverb that they often
sound like they're echoing off canyon
walls, and the arrangements have the
expansiveness of a great jam band.
Many songs drone on transcenden
tally for a few minutes longer than
most bands would have allowed,
turning what would have been an in
teresting pop song into a trance-like
jam. My Morning Jacket manages to
evoke the same ethereal Americana
sound as the Cowboy Junkies while
sounding completely distinct. The
closest approximation I can come up
with to what they sound like is the
early Meat Puppets, but even that is a
stretch. Refreshing.
Something else that's refreshing:
The latest from reggae-great Burning
Spear. One of the last reggae legends
to come out of the 1970s who is still
performing today, it's amazing that
Spear is still so consistently good,
never mind his prolific output. His
new album, "Freeman," is nothing
new stylistically, but it does deliver
the great classic-roots reggae style that
he helped pioneer. While no new
sonic territory is mapped out, the old
territory is so well-refined that listen
ing to it should be like returning
home for reggae fans.
Lyrically, Spear sticks to simple
statements that allow room for a sim
ple philosophy. Stay happy, love oth
ers, love yourself, keep it simple. There
are no grand pronouncements, no
condescending attitudes and no self
righteousness. Just clean simplicity.
That's what it should be about anyway.
