try in store, bartle :-D

Devastating, somewhere between Hendrix and Terry Brooks. In addition to saving Blue Cheer with the second side from an otherwise dull "New! Improved", Randy was the leader of the Other Half with a stunning psychedelic album featuring a genre classic like "Mr. Pharmacist". On this album, he brought along the drummer from the Other Half but performed live solo with a bassist. Thirty exhausting minutes of playing with JBL 300 watt speakers to make the condo shake. Jack White? With all the sympathy I have for him, he would veer off course at the wheel of this sound machine. The photo with the impressive amplifiers towering over the two can be seen on the back of the CD (reissued multiple times) that contains several bonus tracks.

And what do we say about Bernie Leadon, who founded the sugary Eagles, hehehe? I honestly can't even remember this record, except for "Tried so Hard" by Clark. By the way, another amazing "Tried so Hard" comes to mind, interestingly from the same year as this one by the Burrito, by the sprite Daevid Allen in the album "Camembert Electrique" by Gong, truly magnificent.

I don't know why, but my favorite on this album has always been "Desperados waiting for the train." But these tracks are all hits in their own right (understood for those who like the genre) that Guy Clark had already written for other artists, like Rita Coolidge and Jerry Jeff Walker, so his debut album is paradoxically made up of covers of his own songs... I believe it was on this occasion that the young Earle, on background vocals (in addition to having an imprint on his style), fell in love with Emmylou Harris, who was engaged in the same task on the album.

I'm stuck on his beautiful "Last man on the Heart" from a few decades ago. Are you really saying it's better than "History"? That was a great album with that track "Talking New Bob Bylan."

I wrote "difficult" but the more accurate word is "obscure."

I won't rate the review because I feel bad that then Starblazer will come to hate me. I rate the album which is an absolute kitsch. And it's a shame because I find Rufus likable for being openly gay and because he comes from an artistic family (his father was a great folk singer). But for crying out loud, including Ravel's bolero, catchy little songs fit for FM radio, redundant and artificial arrangements—definitely no spontaneity there. He would like to be the Van Dyke Parks of the situation, but that guy would dismantle and reassemble the musical machine, somewhere between vaudeville and Hollywood, between homage and experiment. Rufus isn't even at the level of Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again." A sappy and tedious album; strangely, the follow-up "Want Two" is much more valid and "difficult," where Rufus on the cover, instead of dressing as a warrior, poses like a languid court lady, far superior to this sugar-coated "Want One."

@ole and spend this fifteen euros tonight for a dream, you won't regret it :-) @popoloitaliano you are right, this record is on par with the live shows, but I also recommend (once again) the side project of Keith Streng, the supergroup Full Time Man, which with the album "Your Face My Fist" not only features Fleshtones but also gathers talent like Peter Buck (REM), Stiv Bators (Dead Boys) RIP, Dave Faulkner (Hoodoo Gurus), Pat Di Nizio (Smithereens) @pixies: it's a tough choice, I vote for Fuzztones in the House and Fleshtones in the Senate...

@vortex, if Stoneage Romeos is a masterpiece, you should tell me what Mars Needs Guitars and the splendid pop of Blow Your Cool are then. I can't understand how the Hoodoo didn't make billions hand over fist; at that point, they had everything to break into the mainstream, except for the look with Faulkner's owl face :-)

The groups (in this case a duo) that never took themselves too seriously and put in their place those who acted all high and mighty always hold a special place in my memories. Especially thinking that Dieter Meier, with that face between Inspector Clouseau and Del Neri, was a billionaire who played music as a hobby, just like he had golf and gambling as hobbies. For me, their best is Stella, with the usual horrible cover and almost 25 years under its belt without showing it.
