Free Music Review: Classic Boo album contain some of his finest moments!
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this CD, play it all the time and never get tired of hearing it. One of the few CDs I always bring while traveling. 'Murder In The Dark', my personal favorite Boo song; Footsteps Fall, Lazy Heart, Birds Are Leaving, Eve, Bell, Book and Candle', Please Don't Ask Me To Dance....These songs are to treasure! BB&C does seem to get used in films (My First Mister) and UK TV (Emmerdale) quite often but the rest of the album is truly excellent as well. Produced by John Wood (Squeeze, Elvis Costello, Nick Drake) this record is in my top 5 all-time. Period. If you can find the Japanese version, it has two exclusive tracks, 'The King Is Dead' and 'New Pretender' which despite the extra cost are well worth it.
Thanksgiving Poster
The secret to this quiet, beautiful record is, oddly enough, its least representative moment--"Our Boy," performed as an instrumental by pianist Ted Borowiecki and written by Hewerdine and guitarist Neill MacColl. The melody is simple and evocative (like something from Bartók's "Songs for Children"), and when it's finished you're tempted to turn the stereo off for a moment to savor the images it conjures up. It's a moment that spills over into the surrounding songs, giving them an added depth and poignancy. "Bell, Book and Candle" (a song Eddi Reader covers on her 1999 release Angels & Electricity) is a sweetly haunting ode, while Hewerdine embellishes "Eve," a quirky vignette about a girl who "lives by the flower market," with some John Lennon-style vocals. --Percy KeeganFolk Music CDs
