Tallulah, the Go-Betweens fifth album, was supposed to be the band's breakthrough recording in America. That said, its sound is nearly a full-on break with the edginess that began to fade on 1986's Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express. More lush, rounded, polished, it sounds like a record made in the mid-'80s thanks in large part to Lindy Morrison's use of drum programs in addition to her trap kit. Add to this the contributions of new member Amanda Brown on violin, oboe, and backing vocals and one has a revamped band. Fans didn't take to the new sound with kindness initially, but the songwriting of Forster and McLennan was so much more focused and taut, it more than compensates for production errors. Nowhere is this more evident than "Right Now," the album's opener. The multi-tracked violins drive the center of the tune sprightly, in an off-rail, cut-time tempo. Robert Vickers' colorful keyboards and Morrison's programming are truly adornments, but McLennan's soulful yet philosophical vocal anchors the tune on bedrock and is supported by a beautiful chorus of backing vocals led by Brown. "You Tell Me," sung by Forster, leads with distorted guitars held in check by the sweetness of the melody and Morrison's meld of trap and synthetic drumming. Once more, keyboards counter the guitars as Vickers accents the beat pushing Forster and the wafting backing vocals deeper inside lyric and melody. McLennan's "Someone Else's Wife," is, by contrasts, stark, dark, and suffocating with moody strings accenting the protagonist's plight. The driving "Cure-ish" riff that kicks off Forster's "I Just Get Caught Out," is nearly transcendent; its pained verses are juxtaposed against backing vocalists filling the refrain with a cheery ba-ba-ba-ba-bum. The nearly funky organ and bass swirl of "Cut It Out," is unlike any Go-Betweens song before or since. The beautiful cello and violin section that fuels "The House That Jack Kerouac Built," with a shimmering rhythm guitar line, is the perfect maelstrom for Forster's gorgeous images of stolen illicit love in a dodgy cinema and are topped only by his desperate delivery. This recording may not have had fans of the band swooning at the time, but despite its production it has aged exceptionally well although it remains a product firmly of its time. The raw emotion, vulnerable tenderness and romantic desperation in its songs, textured by the blend of strings and keyboards, adds depth and dimension to this well of fine songs. ~ Thom Jurek
The fifth Go-Betweens album, TALLULAH (named after film actress Tallulah Bankhead), introduced a fifth member to the band. Violinist Amanda Brown cemented the band's move toward the inclusion of strings that had begun with their last album. With this addition, the interplay between instruments and vocals is even more lush and pretty than ever, even on vaguely unsettling tracks like "The Clarke Sisters."
Standouts include "Right Here," a pristine pop classic complete with soaring violins, a catchy chorus, and jangling guitars; "I Just Get Caught Out," aMelody Maker (4/13/96, p.39) - "...For every song you have to make an emotional investment. The Go-Betweens aren't easy or obvious. Their world is full of of despairing, melancholy people..."
Musician (10/96, pp.83-84) - "...It's by no means a stretch...to call Australia's Go-Betweens the bery best rock 'n' roll band of the '80s.... combining tension with beauty, happiness with regret, and love with anger..."
NME (Magazine) (4/13/96, p.47) - 8 (out of 10) - "...[a] blatant pop sheen....By this point Amanda Brown had joined, adding oboe solos...and youthful enthusiasm..."

Including 25 tracks of the biggest female-fronted pop of the decade, Great Ladies of Rock & Roll: The '50s is a good compilation choice for fans attempting to fill in the gaps, as well as those who are simply historically curious.
