Free Music Notes for Mama Said
Free Music Review: Probably his best
Hit: 4 Stars
This album has an absolutely fantastic first side which in retrospect makes the case as one of the better major rock entries of the 90's...only one year in. Any startlingly honed momentum like that is hard-pressed to maintain and MS is no exception, with a few consciously underdeveloped songs near the conclusion ratcheting the premium retro rocker down a notch, from completely classic to compellingly classy.
Mama Said Poster
Sometimes it's fun to take the albums of latter-day rockers and play spot-the-influence, and on Mama Said, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. "Always on the Run," with its punchy horns and emphatic vocals, is cribbed from Sly Stone. "What Goes Around Comes Around," with its understated arrangement and Kravitz's falsetto, is straight out of Superfly-era Curtis Mayfield. "Stand By My Woman" and "All I Ever Wanted," meanwhile, are so directly copped from John Lennon--lyrically, sonically, attitudinally--that it ought to be actionable. Younger fans might not care about any of this, of course, because in and of themselves, Kravitz's songs are tuneful, and they do rock. --Daniel DurchholzAlternative Rock Music CDs
