| | Daniel Johnston Continued Story/Hi, How Are You CD Daniel Johnston Discography of CDs
Released in late 2006 around the time that the acclaimed documentary THE DEVIL AND DANIEL JOHNSTON was issued on DVD, this compilation collects two of the troubled indie-rock troubadour's mid-1980s albums, which were originally distributed by the Austin, Texas, resident on cassette tape. At times painfully spare, these songs get to the heart of Johnston's fractured yet fascinating aesthetic, with his helium-voiced yelp relating tales of isolation, frustration, and escapism over what is often little more than a muffed piano or acoustic-guitar line. Despite the off-key, lo-fi presentation, the brilliance of Johnston's songwriting frequently shines through, as on the urgent existential number "Walking the Cow" and the beautifully wistful ballad "Hey Joe" (later covered to wonderful effect by Sparklehorse). Also of interest is Johnston's reverent, minimal reading of the Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There," which finds the performer occasionally accompanying his nasal singing with the odd piano note. Though this collection won't convert those put off by Johnston's eccentric delivery, it is a fine sampling of the outsider artist's intriguing musical vision, and is essential for his devoted fans.

In some circles, Mickey Jupp is something of a minor legend, a roots rocker with excellent taste and a cutting wit, best heard on the songs "Switchboard Susan" and "You'll Never Get Me Up in One of Those," both covered by Nick Lowe. Basher's endorsement is a clear indication that Jupp is a pub rocker, a guy who specializes in laid-back good times, so it shouldn't come as a ...

Continued Story/Hi, How Are You

Feedback is one of the strangest happenings in rock, more dramatic than Michael MacDonald taking over the Doobie Brothers, but more successful artistically than it was financially, and a chapter of the group that is sadly forgotten. The original band was produced by Lou Adler and built around guitar prodigy Randy California, and a bit of history is in order to understand this hybrid project. David Briggs, producer of Kathi MacDonald, Alice Cooper's Easy Action, and Neil Young, helped the band forge their classic Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus and was retained for this follow-up. William Ruhlmann's liner notes to Spirit's Time Circle Epic/Legacy release notes that Randy California resigned from the group at this point. Mark Andes and Jay Ferguson formed Jo Jo Gunne with Curly Smith, and Smith's friends, the Staehely Brothers, joined Cassidy and company. What Ed Cassidy and keyboard player John Locke created with producer David Briggs was a phenomenal reinvention of Spirit, which worked, sometimes better than the original ...
