What If It Works? CD (2006)
 $12.49  
Personnel: Scott Miller (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano, keyboards, synthesizer, drums, background vocals); Anton Barbeau (vocals, acoustic guitar, piano, organ, Farfisa, Wurlitzer organ, drums, shaker, tambourine, percussion, background vocals); Steve Randall (electric guitar); Alison Faith Levy (piano, background vocals); Julie Meyers (Farfisa); Gil Ray (percussion). Loud Family: Scott Miller (vocals, guitar, electric guitar, piano, organ, keyboards, sampler, background vocals); Dave Middleton (electric guitar); Anton Barbeau (Hammond b-3 organ); Kenny Kessel (bass instrument); Jozef Becker (drums). What If It Works features Miller and Barbeau working with a handful of past-and-present Loud Family members (including Jozef Becker, Kenny Kessel, Gil Ray, and Alison Faith Levy), with the performances favoring the more straightforward side of the band's sonic palate (lots of hooks, plenty of guitar and rolling keyboards, not so much sonic collage). However, Miller has long been a vocal supporter of fellow cult-hero smart pop songwriter Anton Barbeau, and the prospect of a collaboration with Barbeau was enough to get Miller to pull his band out of mothballs, at least for a while. After the release of Attractive Nuisance in 2000, Scott Miller quietly folded his band the Loud Family after eight years and five albums. And it does, and they did. Recording information: Palais De Good Thing, San Mateo, CA; The Boogie Dungeon, Sacramento, CA; The Hanger, Sacramento, CA; The Rathaus, Sacramento, CA. To partially answer the question in the title: if it works, release it. On this 2006 collaboration, the two songwriters bring their best work to the table, favoring a sunny, 60s-pop approach to melody that somehow meshes well with the bookish, philosophical lyrics. In addition to their ebullient new originals, they cover a Stones song ("Rocks Off," followed by a scholarly musical exegesis called "Song About Rocks Off"), a Cat Stevens song, and an old, unrecorded Loud Family number. While Loud Family/Game Theory's Scott Miller has enjoyed a rabid cult following since the 1980s, fellow Bay Area quirk-rocker Anton Barbeau--whose writing style resonates with Miller's in many key ways--has been dutifully releasing album after brilliant album to a much smaller audience.
