SEX WITHOUT BODIES introduces to the world at large a songwriter whose name belongs in the pantheon of greats like Randy Newman, Donald Fagen and Lyle Lovett. Like those writers, David Cantor, the songwriting, guitar-playing, goatee-wearing half of Dave's True Story (could they be the Eurythmics of the Cocktail Nation?) uses pop and jazz forms as a vehicle for literate, highly ironic, darkly humorous observations about the underbelly of the anima. His partner, vocalist Kelly Flint, makes the word into flesh with a cool sense of distance that allows Cantor's biting lyrics to hit their target with maximum efficiency. Flint's style leans toward the jazzy pop tradition of people like Astrud Gilberto, Keely Smith and Julie London.
With unadorned production by ace singer-songwriter Richard Julian and performances by top shelf NYC jazz musicians like Ben Monder, Jeff Berman and Crispin Cioe, Dave's True Story steps to the front of the neo-lounge line, showing up lesser acts like Squirrel Nut Zippers and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Cantor and Flint's relationship to such groups is roughly that of Nirvana to Bush, and the depth inherent in SEX WITHOUT BODIES bears this equation out admirably.
Recorded at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, New York, New York from October 20-23, 1997.

Sex Without Bodies
$9.89 Faith Hill won the 2000 CMA Award for Female Vocalist Of The Year.
BREATHE won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Country Album. "Breathe" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. "Let's Make Love" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals. "Breathe" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award in the categories of Best Country Song and Song Of The Year. "The Way You Love Me" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Country Song.
With her third album, FAITH, Faith Hill tasted pop crossover success--and she evidently liked the taste. BREATHE, Hill's fourth release, takes the pop/country stylings of FAITH to the next level. It's an appealing collection of pop, gospel, R&B, rock, and ballads, with just a bit of country thrown in. The production, featuring Hill's big voice surrounded by booming drums and screaming guitars, is so slick you could skate on it.
Love is the subject of nearly every song, from the exuberant "I Got My Baby," to the soulful "Love Is a Sweet Thing," to the cutesy "The Way You Love Me," with its Beatlesque backing vocals. But while Hill can obviously handle a wide range of material, she sounds best on the quieter, country-flavored numbers, like the title track, the lovely "It Will Be Me," and a haunting, vaguely Latin-flavored reworking of Bruce Springsteen's "If I Should Fall Behind." The most emotional track is "Let's Make Love," a full-fledged duet with Hill's husband Tim McGraw. Because McGraw's voice is unmistakably country, Hill adopts a similar sound ...

Sex Without Bodies
$17.35 Steve Gluzband (trumpet); J. Walter Hawkes (trombone); Andy Ezrin (piano, Hammond B-3 organ, Wurlitzer organ); Tom Beckham (vibraphone); Jeff Eyrich (bass); Robbie Rodriquez (drums); Doriane Elliot, Daryl Tookes, Paul Ammendola (background vocals).
Those who rhapsodize about the gifts of great American songwriters such as Cole Porter and the Gershwin brothers, while bemoaning the current state of popular song, would do well to investigate the work of David Cantor, guitarist and songwriter for Dave's True Story. While the group, which revolves around Cantor and cool postmodern chanteuse Kelly Flint, is often lumped in with the neo-lounge movement, their work is more complex than that categorization would suggest.
UNAUTHORIZED is a great leap forward from the group's previous release SEX WITHOUT BODIES, the main reason being the expanded production/arrangements of bassist/producer Jeff Eyrich. Eyrich uses a wide array of complementary tonal colors, from vibes to a horn section, to frame Cantor's witty, sophisticated songs, and Flint's melodious but deadpan singing style. While there's an abundance of humor in ...
| | Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense DVD (1984) Widescreen
Sex Without Bodies
$24.09 Those who aren't familiar with the work of seminal 1980s band The Talking Heads may find themselves becoming instant fans after viewing this incredibly entertaining concert film. It starts with David Byrne stepping out alone on empty stage with an acoustic guitar to sing "Psycho Killer." The rest of the musicians follow one by one and the stage gradually fills to bursting with powerful, tightly orchestrated brilliance. Director Jonathan Demme (SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, PHILADEPLPHIA) expertly captures the music's energy, fusing cinema with performance to create something more than the sum of its parts. Through it all, Byrne comes off as a charismatic artist of supernatural energy and robotic precision, and he's backed by an equally inspired group of musicians, including bassist Tina Weymouth. Artistically ambitious, filled with joyous but controlled energy, ...

| | Dave's True Story Nature CD (2005)
Sex Without Bodies
$11.29 New York jazz/pop cult heroes Dave's True Story both outlived and transcended the '90s lounge revival through the strength of both David Cantor's witty, urbane, and deceptively deep songwriting, and chanteuse Kelly Flint's bewitching, understated style. Their fourth album, NATURE, is their most polished to date and, ironically, their least jazzy, with Cantor moving toward a more pentatonic pop mode, with any swing-kitsch leanings definitively excised. In other words, it's a perfect entry-point into the rarefied delights of the band's sui generis aesthetic viewpoint.
New York's jazzy pop trio Dave's True Story dims the lights and darkens the grooves on their new CD "Nature," cleverly exploring ...
