On his prior 1967 LP, For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her, Yarbrough had tried to move into contemporary folk-rockish covers, with negligible sales and not much greater artistic success. With Honey & Wine there also seemed to be inclinations to update his sound, but great uncertainty as to which way his music should pull. There was just a bit of a nod to pop/rock on the album, primarily in the title cut, a cover of a relatively little-known Gerry Goffin-Carole King composition. That song is a bluesy, very good yet underrated tune, but Yarbrough was not the best guy to sing it convincingly; look for the Hollies' version instead. Much of the rest of the disc was given over to Rod McKuen covers with soppy MOR arrangements, which were sometimes (as on the excruciating "Happy Birthday to Me" and the cringingly upbeat "Ain't You Glad You're Livin', Joe") about as bathetic as McKuen ever got, which is saying something. A couple of Mason Williams tunes, "Here Am I" (with period pop harpsichord) and the bossa nova-flavored "They Are Gone," are better but hardly memorable. In all, it's a nearly terrible recording of sluggish easy listening pop, and not worth the money you'll be charged if you find it in the dollar bin. Some interesting names pop up among the arrangers, though, including Williams, a pre-Bread David Gates, and Mort Garson. ~ Richie Unterberger

Collectables' two-fer reissue of the Percy Faith albums Today's Themes for Young Lovers and For Those in Love is an excellent match-up. The former album was Faith's summer 1967 LP release, and it was followed by the latter in the winter of 1968. Faith took the same approach with both, recording his versions of hits with his orchestra and, on most tracks, a female chorus, so you might as well call this reissue "Percy Faith Plays the Hits of 1967." Three of the year's Billboard Hot 100 chart-toppers -- "Happy Together," "Somethin' Stupid," and "Windy" -- are included, along with lots of other soft rock successes. Faith's arrangements usually contain elements from the hit recordings, and he has made good choices from what was available to him. He wisely presents "Somethin' Stupid" as an instrumental, not forcing his chirpy women to twist their tongues around the slightly sarcastic lyrics, but they sound odd trying to sing "It Must Be Him," as if it weren't the emotionally overwrought song it is. ...

First released in 1969, after guitarist Jimmy Dawkins had served a long apprenticeship as a sideman in the Chicago electric blues scene, Fast Fingers remains one of the finest pure electric blues albums of its era. Dawkins proves to be a solid songwriter and an able singer, although the best moments on the album invariably come when he tears off a casually perfect, deeply soulful, but never showy electric solo. Highlights include the stomping instrumental "Triple ...

$20.29
Edo Kahn: singer/guitaristPeter Farley: bass/horns/vocalsNadav Kahn: sonic keys/harp/vocalsArt Wilson: drums/cello1704 is a gentle and complex album that arouses both mind and body. Produced by good pal/music lover, Ian Ball of Gomez, 1704 was recorded in a somewhat spontaneously haphazard style on portable recording equipment in various make-shift locations across the globe and finally mixed at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios in a tiny town called Box, in the UK. Formed just over two years ago and having performed one show together, Gelbison recorded a self-titled EP (their first collaboration with Ball) in a Bondi lounge room and released it through their own label Cheap Lapels. The EP version of the track Modern Station found its way onto the Triple J airwaves not long after. This was followed by a buzz of activity including the album's recording, signing to Virgin Australia, a UK tour, and the initial success already garnered by Metal Detector, Homelands and Good God the first three singles off the album. ~~~~~~~~~~~~What ...
