BILL KIRCHEN- WORD TO THE WISE

BIll Kirchen, original Commander Cody & The Lost Planet Airmen guitarist, and the man whose fine Telecaster was a highlight of the 1972 hit "Hot Rod Lincoln," has made some fine albums on his own. He can sing, but man...can he play the guitar. "Word To The Wise" is another solid effort. With help from special friends like Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Maria Muldaur, and Dan Hicks, Bill Kirchen offers a collection of tunes that don't try very hard to hide behind the influence of his occasional employer, Nick Lowe. And anyone who covers Roger Miller's "Husbands & Wives" is alright by me. This is a great record!

BETTYE LAVETTE- INTERPRETATIONS:THE BRITISH ROCK SONGBOOK

The soul queen continues her resurgence with a collection of very familiar tunes that won't sound very familiar during your first pass. Miss Lavette is a big singer, and the soul will ooze out of your speakers. I know the record is called "Interpretations," but Miss Lavette too often takes liberties with the original melodies of such songs as Zeppelin's "All My Love," George via Ringo's "It Don't Come Easy," and Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" to name a few, so the fun of hearing these classics gets lost in the confusion. ("Oh! This is 'Wish You Were Here?'") Does this mean the record doesn't work? Absolutely not. This is a killer Bettye Lavette record, and her versions of The Beatles' "The Word," Clapton's "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad," and Pete Townshend's "Love Reign O'er Me" are worth the price of admission alone.
