Born Oxford, England 1959,  harboured delusions of artistic grandeur ever since but has finally realised that the most significant art forms of the 20th century are Eccles Cakes, Arsenal F.C  and John Lee Hooker's snakeskin boots.

1. Punishing Kiss - Ute Lemper

 

 German chantreuse does songs of Brecht/Weill, Waits, Elvis Costello, Philip Glass, and Nick Cave.  Great stuff - particularly stunning is the haunting Cave-penned "Little Water Song"

 

2. Urban Suite - Leonardo

 

A guitar-slinging folk poet from Chicago worth checking out.  Favorite track - "Nelson & Simone", a story of the romance of the Chicago author (Algren) and the French feminist/philosopher (DeBeauvoir).  Check out www.leonardomusic.com

 

3. Innervisions - Stevie Wonder

 

  What can you say?  A classic from '73 that sounds like NOW!   Prince before there was Prince!

 

4. Fulfillingness' First Finale - Stevie Wonder

 

  This man is/was amazing!  Another outstanding record from just a year later - '74. 

 

5. Wasp Star Apple Venus Volume 2 - XTC

 

 Messrs. Partridge and Moulding with another fine effort.  Hooks-a-plenty.  "I'm stupidly happy...."

 

6. Sao Paulo Confessions - Suba

 

Classic Jobim and Jobim-esque Brazilian music with beats and samples and "landscapes" infused into the music.  Beautiful and contemporary.   When I was in Austin for SXSW, my rental car had a CD player, so I bought this and let it play endlessly.  Still on the "picks" list by the player.  On the Six Degrees Records label.

 

7.  Burning Bush - Andrew Robb

 

 A good friend from Chicago and one of the most original musician/songwriters I've had the pleasure to meet and work with.  He's done several cassette releases and this is his first CD.  I won't compare it to anything, because I can't - but you can check it out at www.andrewrobb.com

 

8.  Songs for Distinque Lovers - Billie Holiday

 

 Classic Verve sides from Lady Day.

 

9. Sketches of Spain - Miles Davis w/Gil Evans

 

    Miles doing Spanish folk and classical pieces w/arrangements from Evans.  Very interesting hybrid.

 

10. John Mellencamp - "Scarecrow" and "Lonesome Jubilee"

 

This needs an explanation.  I played Bloomington, Indiana recently, for the first time.  My guitar playin' accompaniest Pat Meusel does this hilarious impersenation of Mr. M, singing "I'm a real good dancah".  You had to be there, but of course, we brought along some Mellencamp for the trip.  A guilty pleasure, but I think some of the "singles" like "Cherry Bomb" and "Rumbleseat" really hold up as great gutbucket rock and roll.  "I don't have to look over my shoulder to see what I'm aftah..."
