If you have ever read Ray Davies book 'Americana' you will be aware of his love for American culture from an early age.
This album is another tribute to that love, a musical version. Something he does quite well..... and he has. His backing band The Jayhawks are as American as blueberry pie. And it's the songs they duet on that i love most. Most notably A Long Drive Home To Tarzana which as a hint of Dylan and even a touch of Beatles ... Love it. Listen and decide for yourself, and if you haven't read the book... paulie ps/ while your at it listen to Waterloo Sunset ❣️ |

Robyn Hitchcock (Soft Boys) has been making albums for a long time, always sticking to his particular style of - well eccentric is a good word.
This self titled album (number 21) certainly has a spring in it's step! It's a marvel for Robyn Hitchcock fans, a great and interesting piece from a music maestro for the rest.... listen to album on itunes - Tim

Jazz meets poetry again here, 3 years after the debut album WISLAWA took the Polish poet WISLOWA SZYMBORSKA as it's inspiration - this second beautiful album looks again to the Polish poet - BRUNO SCHULZ who has at least 2 of the tracks dedicated (inspired by)
I am slightly out of my depth reviewing Jazz but it oozes all the things i love....about a Jazz album.. right down to the cover and the title. Now i must research the poetry...listen to samples on itunes for yourself... pauliepaul |
