Free Music Review: Geordie Boy makes good
Hit: 5 Stars
As a longtime Alan Price fan dutifully replacing my vinyl with CDs, this cache of Alan Price recordings was a godsend, one-stop shopping for a musician who's always a pleasure to listen to. From the early stuff like I Put A Spell on You, when Price was defiantly proving he could be just as bluesy on his own as he was with the Animals, through several delicious Randy Newman covers (I love Randy Newman, but Price's renditions of things like So Long Dad, Tickle Me, and Living Without You are better than Randy's), through Georgie Fame duos, it covers his solo career intelligently, and has shrewd selections from subsequent albums such as O Lucky Man!, Between Today and Yesterday, and A Gigster's Life For Me. If you had to pick only 41 tracks from the man's 30-plus prolific years as a solo artist, these would probably be the tracks you'd want -- they highlight his chamelon-like ability to perform in any number of music genres, from blues to folk to bossa nova to country to music-hall-tinged political commentary. But while this does showcase his versatility and his amazing voice, with its complicated bluesy texture and nuanced phrasing, it doesn't showcase his keyboard work as well, which is a pity because he is one of the great pianist/organists of his era. It's a good introduction, but it eventually sent me back to acquire the full albums, where some of his most interesting numbers were buried. Price has always thought of himself as an entertainer rather than an artist, though in fact he is a considerable artist; often his albums featured some facile pop numbers, which got more airplay than the purer and more intriguing back tracks. So buy and enjoy, but don't stop here -- he gets better the deeper you dig. (The House That Jack Built, the Complete 1960s Alan Price Set recordings, gives you perhaps a truer idea of just how good Price can be.)
