Product Description

CD Description

This is Jonathan Richman's fifth album with Brennan Totten in the producer's chair. While the production on Richman's album's is meant to be as unobtrusive as possible, it takes an understanding ear to achieve the effect. Cut nearly live, and always maintaining a first take feel, the producer must truly be in sync with the artist to come up with engaging results such as these. In fact, Richman generally plays a songonce in the studio, and if it doesn't work straight away hemoves onto another number and comes back to it later.
This album sacrifices nothing in Richman's trademark freshnessof sound. Highlights include "You Can't Talk To The Dude", another of his examinations of problematic human interactions, "I Was Dancing In The Lesbian Bar", a remake of his "ThatSummer Feeling", and the magical reverie of "Twilight In Boston". As always, this set is another celebration of the twin credos that less is more and honesty is the best policy.

5.0 out of 5 stars hugely underrated, 26 Aug 2005
By Rex Hyman (Southampton, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Why no review of this one yet? It's still his best album since the original Modern Lovers. Highlights include the funky Lesbian Bar, in a sparser, rougher and to my mind better version than the full band take on 'Surrender to Jonathan'; and the incredible Summer Feeling, one of his most powerful and emotional songs. Tandem Jump is perhaps the simplest song he's ever put out, which for Jonathan Richman is saying something! It sounds as if it was recorded from a badly-tuned radio, which is no bad thing. Anyone who might be put off by his supposed 'tweeness': you can find that on some of his stuff, especially on his late 70's output, but there's none of that here. I'd also recommend 'Surrender to Jonathan' and 'You Must Ask the Heart' as great examples of his more recent recordings.
