C/D: Terence Trent D'arby - Symphony or Damn

BABY LET ME SHARE MY LOVE

(yow!)

dig the Steven Tyler-esque vocalisms on "She Kissed Me."

(^^^aero-bait.)

just remembered I saw him in concert for this album, appearing at the first KROQ summer concert festival from 1993

review??

Let Her Down Easy is amazing. I wonder, if he'd have released this album after the debut maybe he'd have been as big as he looked like he was going to be.

hahah--at the Dylan channeling Otis Redding (or the Four Tops' "Bernadette," maybe?) wordplay/organ surges on "Turn the Page!"

SHE KISSED ME
and PUT IT THERE

this might fall into the ever shrinking category entitled "great forgotten neglected at the time albums that have yet to be reassessed by younger critics or hip bands."

there aren't many left you know!

We should do a thread on this, though there needs to be some rules so it doesn't just become "my favourite album that I don't see talked about." Perhaps include an argument for why it deserves rehabilitation.

i think it has to be albums by failed or fizzled pop stars, or at least people working in a pop idiom, so it doesn't turn into "this noise cassette from 1985 by a friend of boyd rice that shoulda set the world on fire."

of course that gets tricky too because the first one that popped into my mind when you showed up tim was ultramarine who arent quite pop in the same way ttd was trying to be pop.

I could mention any number of Rosanne Cash and Maze & Beverly records. But, yeah, it's a shrinking category.

haha the radio played a double-shot of beverly/maze today and i did think "here is one r&b sound that will not likely be revived any time soon."

Your yearly reminder that this album is incredible.

His voice on "I Still Love You"... how??
