FLO & EDDIE - Flo & Eddie (1973)
Flo & Eddie - Flo & Eddie(1973)
While most people know Flo & Eddie as either the sweet pop voices behind the Turtles or the anarchic comedy guys in Zappa's band and their own bizarre road show, there is another side that is always there. On this self-titled album, their wistful, lyrical side dominates, though the other aspects of the duo are certainly apparent. Original tracks like "If We Only Had the Time" and "Just Another Town" convey a kind of sad nostalgia that feels much more heartfelt than the more upbeat tracks. That tendency is there on every Flo & Eddie record, but in this case the comic tracks seem exceptionally forced, as though they are the soundtrack to a stage show rather than pieces with their own merit. There are two exceptional songs on this album: the delirious Phil Spector cover "Best Part of Breaking Up" and the magnum opus "Marmendy Mill." The latter is a sweet paean to lost childhood that is undoubtedly the most honest and personal track this duo ever recorded. It also has the most ambitious scoring, with a full orchestra giving inspired backing to the final few minutes. What the members of their following who wanted more Zappa-style weirdness thought of this track is unrecorded, but it was certainly a personal best for a duo who wanted to be much more than a comedy act.Review by Richard Foss(allmusic.com)

ROY BUCHANAN - Live In Japan (1978)
"Live In Japan" was released by Polydor only in Japan in 1978. Live in Japan (2003) is said to have been Roy Buchanan's favorite of all his platters, and ironically, it was never issued stateside. However, as word spread, the title became an essential addition to his discography. Fact is that it may have never come out at all, had there not been a loophole in Buchanan's contract with former label Polydor, giving them control over his non-North American output. Joining the guitarist for his 1977 tour of Japan are John Harrison (bass), Malcolm Lukens (keyboards), and Byrd Foster (drums/vocals). They are likewise the core contributors to Buchanan's most recent studio effort, A Street Called Straight (1976), though no tracks from the album are represented here. Instead, the set consists of recent collaborations, definitive cover versions, and a few seminal Buchananclassics. The immaculate fidelity immediately separates Live in Japan from most other releases in his canon. The enthusiastic yet typically reserved Japanese audience is first treated to a laid-back and stretched-out reading of Booker T. & the MG's' "Soul Dressing." The backing trio provide a rock-solid bed for Buchanan's sinuous interjections and spacious melody lines. "Sweet Honey Dew" is a perfect vehicle for some incendiary string shredding, although the actual tune is somewhat of a derivation of a standard blues riff. Perhaps more fitting is the rousing rendition of Larry Williams' "Slow Down," uncovering the nimble accuracy accompanying the sonic kick in Buchanan's piercing fret work. Contrasting this is the lengthy jam on "Blues Otani," as the ensemble ably improvise in and around the guitarist. Live in Japan concludes with an intimate and affective "Sweet Dreams," which may well have been the artist's unofficial anthem, as his unique interpretation undoubtedly made it a signature piece. If you own but one concert recording of Buchanan, let it be this one, as you will not be disappointed. - cduniverse.com
