| | Marshall Crenshaw Field Day CD Marshall Crenshaw Discography of CDs
1983's FIELD DAY, Crenshaw's second album, took some fans of his sprightly debut by surprise. For this excursion, he had enlisted the help of hot producer Steve Lillywhite, whose approach to drum and guitar sounds had helped to create hits for U2, XTC, and others. The result was a sound notably different from anything heard in Crenshaw's previous work. The musician returned to simpler productions for later records, but FIELD DAY is an exceptional album.
FIELD DAY is brimming with beautifully crafted, Beatles-esque pop songs. Crenshaw's music is a delicious treat for the ears--as catchy as can be. Listening to these songs in the knowing glow of hindsight, it is shocking that none of them were enormous hits. Alas, it's a fickle world. Crenshaw's first three albums remain a dazzling display of rock & roll smarts, emotional resonance, and good old fashioned danceable fun.
Recorded at Power Station, New York, New York in Febuary 1983.
Personnel: Marshall Crenshaw (vocals, guitar); Chris Donato (vocals, bass guitar); Robert Crenshaw (vocals, drums).

Purchase Field Day CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)
Field Day album
 $9.55     
Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, and apart from a rather faithful version of Madonna's "You'll See," I Dreamed a Dream could very well have been released all those years ago, as it mixes up the show tunes, gospel, and Christmas carols with covers of Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World," the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses," and a version of "Daydream Believer" that is easily the slowest on record. Boyle sings beautifully throughout, delivering more of the same of what she did in her moment in the sun on television. ...
| | Jimmy Buffett Buffet Hotel CD (2009)
Field Day CD music
$9.74  
Since Jimmy Buffett never leaves his comfort zone, it's hard to call 2009's Buffet Hotel a return to roots but, in a way, it is. Discounting the mock rap on "Turn Up the Heat and Chill the Rosé," this album doesn't even have the lingering country and reggae flavors that seasoned 2006's Take the Weather with You, with all of the songs riding a cool, mellow country-rock wave, the kind that has been his stock-in-trade since the `70s. There's a difference between being part of a tradition and being stuck in the past and Buffett is surely in the former, not shying away from the new millennial mess, admitting that we all have "A Lot to Drink About" and never flinching from his advancing years, most movingly on a cover of Bruce Cockburn's "Life's Short Call Now." Cockburn's song is paired with another expertly chosen cover, Jesse Winchester's "Rhumba ...

Pink's insistently hooky, attitude-filled pop-rock has kept the singer a fixture on the radio and on singles charts since the early 2000s. The artist's fifth effort, FUNHOUSE, doesn't tamper with the formula: Pink's powerhouse vocals and in-your-face approach, backed by stadium-sized production, ...

With help from dance producer Arthur Baker and Rings musician Michael Baker, Face to Face craft their first and best of three albums (four, if you include the Streets Of Fire soundtrack). There's nothing like a hit record, and "10-9-8" is a great hit, though nationally it failed to make the Top 20 and hovered in the 30 range of chart action, it follows "Under the Gun" on side two in terrific fashion. "10-9-8" is a mesmerizing song with little nicks from Chic's 1979 tune "I Want Your Love"; it has groove, passion, and solid production work from Arthur Baker. Though Jimmy Iovine, Gordon Perry, and Michael Baker produce four of the songs, it is the two by Arthur Baker which resonate loud and clear. That probably led to Baker's producing eight of the ten tracks with Ed Stasium on the follow-up album, Confrontation, an album which had three producers and Bob Clearmountain mixing, but no songs as memorable as the three noted in this review from the band's debut. Michael Baker adds his Rings magic on "Don't Talk Like That," the rock & roll which would evaporate on subsequent albums cutting through the electronic drums. Though "Out of My Hands" opens up the self-titled Face to Face disc with power and intensity, the basic problem that haunted this band is the thin rhythm section -- poor William Beard hardly sounds like he's playing on the vinyl, and John Ryder's bass doesn't have the Jack Bruce bottom needed to add some color to the magical sounds Angelo and Stu Kimball weave around Laurie Sargent's excellent gritty voice. She helps "Out of My Hands" rise above its limitations. ...
