| | Late Great Daniel Johnston: Discovered Covered CD Daniel Johnston Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Despite its title, this 2004 tribute/best-of collection finds singer/songwriter Daniel Johnston alive and relatively well. (Johnston has struggled with mental illness that sometimes leads to erratic behavior.) The first part of this two-disc set presents a remarkable array of admiring artists, including Tom Waits and Death Cab for Cutie, covering Johnston's songs. Some renditions--particularly Calvin Johnson's vocals-and-percussion-only "Sorry Entertainer," Beck's Dylan-esque acoustic "True Love Will Find You in the End," and M. Ward's gorgeous "Story of an Artist"--stick closer to Johnston's minimal arrangements. Other versions opt for a much fuller sound, particularly Mercury Rev's dreamy take on "Blue Clouds," and "Go," a wonderful Sparklehorse/Flaming Lips collaboration that highlights the notable similarities between respective frontmen Mark Linkous and Wayne Coyne. The second disc features Johnston's original recordings of every song on the first disc, along with a new tune, "Rock This Town." Although some may find Johnston's high-pitched yelp and rudimentary guitar and piano playing bewildering, his quirky, unaffected aesthetic is exactly what drew the aforementioned performers to contribute to this excellent compilation in the first place.
Personnel: Daniel Johnston (vocals, various instruments, guitar).

Late Great Daniel Johnston: Discovered Covered album
$12.95
What could be more devilish than a decently atmospheric but insipidly monotonous and ultimately fairly tepid techno record? How about that same record again...twice! That's not exactly what Bernard Fevre is offering here on this companion release to his 2006 "comeback" album, 28 After, but it's distressingly not far off. The first half of this release features After's six tracks reprised in "dub" form, which even upon close back-to-back listening reveal relatively few alterations from the original versions. Apart from sparser vocals (which hardly help matters, engagement-wise) and somewhat more reverb, you'd have to be pretty familiar with the already quite samey electro-disco on the first record to notice or care about the differences here...in which case these dubs might actually hold some appeal. The second half of In Dub contains ...

Someone who doesn't speak Spanish might hear this regional Mexican release and assume that José Guadalupe Esparza is addressing typical ranchera themes -- things like a vaquero (Mexican cowboy) losing the love of his life and drowning his sorrows in tequila, or a bullfighter who fears loneliness and heartbreak more than he fears an angry bull. Musically, Le Canta a la Virgen de Guadalupe sounds like a typical secular ranchera album would sound. But in fact, this 34-minute CD addresses religious subject matter -- specifically, subject ...
