Anton Barbeau lives in Sacramento, CA, and has been releasing albums since 1993. King of Missouri is his 7th and possibly the most accurate representation to the mainstream world of how a majorly talented songwriter can create such a fantastic prolific body of work seemingly in an alternate universe where the grand tradition of British pop psychedelia and English eccentricity continue to flourish, channelled through an unassuming American pop accolyte. King of Missouri is like (ok, take your pick) Kevin Ayers, John Cale, Robyn Hitchcock, Julian Cope, or even Andy Partridge fronting the Jeff Beck Yardbirds, or better yet, The Move!
The most amazing thing about this album is how the full rock n roll power of The Bevis Frond and the raw lyricism of Nick Saloman's exquisite guitar bristle brilliantly within the constraints of Anton Barbeau's tightly plotted pop structures. It's a fantastic, and actually genius team up. Consider also that bassist Adrian Shaw is an ex-member of Hawkwind and you realize how complete the circle of British progressive rock is within this marvelous cd.
This is going to be one of your favourite albums for 2005.
Spread the word. Play it loud!
