 (6 Customer Reviews)
Recorded during the sessions for John Lennon's PLASTIC ONO BAND and packaged in nearly exactly the same sleeve (Lennon said his intent was to make some people accidentally buy Ono's record instead of his own), YOKO ONO & PLASTIC ONO BAND springs from the same impulses as its better-known doppelganger. Written and recorded while Lennon and Ono were under the influence of Arthur Janov's Primal Scream therapy, the album's six lengthy tracks are more abstract and yet even more powerful than Lennon's more literal work. Free jazz trumpeter Ornette Coleman makes a guest appearance, giving the album an even more manic, cathartic feel than it might have had already. Highlights include the two-part "Why" and "Why Not" and the even more outre "Greenfield Morning I Pushed an Empty Baby Carriage all Over the City." YOKO ONO & PLASTIC ONO BAND is an avant-garde milestone. The Rykodisc reissue includes three bonus tracks, including the banned single "Open Your Box."

Spin (1/98, p.88) - Ranked #10 on Spin's list of the "Top 10 Reissues."
Spin (9/97, p.157) - "...Ono and her voice are the complete focus. Her chattering, glottal vocalese, which at times resembles the performance poetry of Dadaist Kurt Schwitters, proves itself to be a powerful engine for moving non-weird rock grooves into plains of extreme otherness..."
CMJ (5/24/99, p.32) - "...the band took commercial rock 'n' roll kicking and screaming into the twisted world of avant-garde improvisation, attacking scales and rhythms with enough sonic violence to make both John Zorn and Thurston Moore plug their ears in mortal terror..."
Melody Maker (6/28/97, p.48) - "...It wouldn't be entirely ridiculous to call it the first completely successful avant-garde rock record....among the finest, strangest and most original of its time." Yoko Ono & Plastic Ono Band Music Yoko Ono & Plastic Ono Band Songs | 1. | Why | |

 $14.29 
Subtitled UNFINISHED MUSIC NO. 1, this was the first of a series of recordings that were released near the beginning of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's relationship. Ono, a member of the Fluxus art movement, was a respected artist and had been producing pieces in non-traditional media (sound, video, conceptual) throughout the '60s--in fact she met Lennon when he came to one of her gallery exhibitions. With the Beatles in often-fractious circumstances at that time, Lennon poured his energies ...

Brison Bursey was born in Quanah, Texas on October 7, 1983, and shortly thereafter his musical talents began to appear. He initially started with scattered trash can lids or pots and pans to bang together. Later Brison’s music was fueled by a karaoke machine for Christmas. Throughout school Brison was active in football, golf and FFA but he was never far from his music. He joined a band his senior year with some home town friends from the school marching band. They played in and around Quanah for friends and family and eventually performed in front of 10,000 people at the Texas State FFA Talent Contest at the Fort Worth Coliseum. In 2002 he was elected as the State FFA Officer from Area IV, where he spent his first year of college traveling around Texas on speaking engagements and visiting FFA Chapters at high schools. In 2003 with his obligation completed he moved to College Station, Texas where he performed on open mic nights and joined new bands. With these bands he had the opportunity to open for acts such as Stoney Larue, Doug Moreland and Max Stalling. Brison began writing songs of his own with much lyrical and musical success. He can deliver a raw ...
