Since Spinal Tap only existed for the 1984 film This Is Spinal Tap, the idea that Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer were actually going to release a studio album rather than a soundtrack brought on a tremendous amount of anticipation. The resulting product is Break Like the Wind, a record that, like the 1984 soundtrack, boasts powerful guitar and surprisingly decent vocals, along with some quite silly song themes. Unfortunately, when it comes to satirical bands, one can only hear these kind of songs a certain number of times before they become tedious. Instead of sticking to its roots, the album is also sometimes overshadowed by its celebrity appearances and heavy performances, which make it seem like the players were actually trying to make their listeners think that the album wasn't just a big joke. Break Like the Wind may have not been the comeback everyone was hoping for, but it certainly has enough amusing moments to be worth a listen. ~ Barry WeberRolling Stone (4/2/92, p.45) - 3 Stars - Good - "..great parodists... amplifies the absurdity of pop music in general.."
Q (5/92, p.84) - 4 Stars - Excellent
NME (Magazine) (10/28/00, p.40) - 666 out of 10 - "...Extra tenderness and extra balls - tender balls, if you will. The sound is sharper, the arrangements broader, but tunes like 'Bitch School' and 'Christmas With The Devil' are classic Tap with double helpings of Tapology....Unenlightened, unimproved, unapologetic - it doesn't get more Tap than this."

| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Break Like The Wind
$6.39 
The Corrs: Jim Corr (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Sharon Corr (vocals, violin); Andrea Corr (vocals, tin whistle); Caroline Corr (vocals, drums, bodhran, percussion).
Recorded at Ardmore Studios in Dublin, Ireland in January 2002.
You knew the Corrs had made it when they played the final JFK Awards ceremony of the Clinton administration. Playing it would have been achievement enough, but their status as a happening thing was cemented at the end of the ceremony, during the encores, when everybody was taking their final bows. Bill moseyed up over to Andrea, put his arm around her, and when she was looking away, sized her up -- at precisely the same moment Chuck Berry was checking her out. If that doesn't mean that you've broken America, entering its pop culture, I don't know what does, expect for maybe a VH1-endorsed piece of product like Live in Dublin. Lo and behold, that's exactly ...
| | Kinks Ultimate Collection CDs (2002) (Import) Thailand
Break Like The Wind
$20.09
Although generally not as highly regarded by the critics as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, or the Who, the Kinks may well have influenced far more musicians. The three-chord sledgehammer proto-metal burst of teenage lust called "You Really Got Me," the Kinks' third single and first hit, touched off a garage band explosion, which in turn influenced the rise of punk a decade later. Blessed with an astute songwriter in Ray Davies, the Kinks followed the template of "You Really Got Me" for a couple years, racking up hits with "All Day and All of the Night," "Tired of Waiting for You," and "Till the End of the Day." But Davies had more than one card in his pocket, and he blossomed into a sharp social satirist ("Dedicated Follower of Fashion"). By the time the album The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society was released in 1968, Davies had become a master of elegiac studies in English suburbia. The ...

| | Black Golden Bull CD (2008)
Break Like The Wind
$10.15
Black Golden Bull joins the burgeoning singer/songwriter collective with its conglomeration of country and western (the good kind...), low-fi pop, and vocals registering somewhere between Roy Rogers and Sufjan Stevens. Heavy on imagery and sad and lonely landscapes, BGB layers seemingly simple lyricism with those archetypal images and metaphors that permeate all of our favorite mythologies. (Plus there’s some gun-slinging.) With wonderfully simple and singable lyrics suspended above a primary backdrop of acoustic guitar (sometimes the only backdrop), BGB reminds us of what country and western used to be like and how good it was. How it somehow got to the very roots of who we are. Especially those of us blessed enough to have been formed by the gently rolling hills and seemingly endless prairies of the Midwest. Yet, all the while, they maintain a pop sensibility that weaves together a ...
