Fresh & uplifting,
By
This review is from: Sunshine Possibilities (Audio CD)
Reading Clive Palmer's biography I finally decided to buy "Sunshine possibilities" by the Famous Jug Band, if only for the remark that it contained one of Palmer's best songs.
"Sunshine possibilities" has a fine title, and it brings exactly that - this is an uplifting and refreshing collection of songs (partly "trad." and partly self-penned) and while it's not a real classic it is certainly well worth your attention if you like the Clive Palmer's work or if you're interested in folk music with a twist. And why the hesitation to purchase "Sunshine possibilities"? I got hold of "O for summer" first, and that stopped me in my tracks. But where "O for summer" can be embarassing with its "for old times sake" results and a few off-key vocals, this first record by the Famous Jug Band is in stark contrast a very satisfying record and very much recommended.

An Eccentric Offshoot of Folk,
By Andrew Shaffer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sunshine Possibilities (Audio CD)
A highly original recording by a very short-lived esoteric folk outfit from the turn of the 1970's. While it should be noted that the ever-enigmatic Clive Palmer, founder member of the Incredible Sring Band, is featured here, complete with two original out-there, but wonderfully crafted tunes, it's the vocals Jill Johnson that stand out the most. Although only 18 at the time of this recording, her voice conveys a passion and wisdom of someone who has lived and died and come back as a spirit, boundless in energy and enthusiasm. The lush acoustic arrangements defy classification, an eclectic blend of so-called early music, ragtime, folk, bluegrass, folk-rock, blues and, yes, jug music. The songs, as a whole, are obscure, moody, somewhat chaotic at times, oddly serene at others, which is great if you're into the mystic, neo-acid folk in the String Band tradition, but off-putting, perhaps, to those seeking a more traditional sound. This is an experimental record in the truest sense.

brilliant clive palmer songs,
By B. Hill "Achintya" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sunshine Possibilities (Audio CD)
I first heard Nicholson Sqr and Leave Must Fall when a student in the early 70's. These songs have a naivity and depth of emotion rarely conveyed in song and taught me much about the power of simplicity and craft in songwriting.I am ordering this album on the back of hearing these two songs again. |
