Free Music Review: A jack of all trades, MASTER OF ALL
Hit: 5 Stars
I can remember 1968 like it was yesterday, or 100 years ago for that matter if you lived like I did. I was nothing but a long-haired renegade fed up with a meager janitorial position in a Northeast mill. I had an insatiable thirst for life and adventure. So one day, I packed up and said, "screw the system", quit my job and took to the open road with nothing but my beat-up old chevy, what little savings I had, and my brand new radio because music was my life. I traversed this great country with high expectations in search of my place on this earth; a life and love. But I soon found out the open road wasnt so glamorous. I became all too familiar with the "sex, drugs and rock n' roll" lifestyle. And after a few brief stints working at some dive bars out in California and North Dakota which put new meaning to the phrase, "anything goes"; and living off of "Girl Scout Cookies" and old hamburgers (using the cookie boxes as a pillow many a times in my backseat for a nights rest) I had reached my boiling point. Then it happened: I heard MacArthur Park by Richard Harris for the first time (the year it went to #2 in the billboards). This song touched this "nomad" in more ways than I can describe. It was a metaphor that fit my own life. It gave me answers I never thought I had, truly a moving moment which still impacts my life today. It was a day that got my life back in order. I instantly, with what little left I could scrounge up, bought the record. I called up an old friend, "Hawk", in the San Fran region in order that I play the record on his player. We soon found the album was the most well-blended array of notes and music we had ever heard orchestrated together. I thought, "SHEER INGENUITY and RAW talent!" Out on the road, I took MacArthur's Park (and the entire album) in context and for its deeper meaning (not literally) in dealing with the cake, recipes etc. in the lyrics. This is how I recommend listening to it. Not everyone will have a life-changing moment like I did, but everyone can simply appreciate Mr. Richard Harris in all his magnitude. In a year, when there were some questionable artists and songs like Andy Kim, Leapy Lee, and Humperdink's "Les Bicyclettes des Belsize", Richard Harris took to the roots of music and created some masterpieces. Dick Harris is a phenominal human being/artist and as "Hawk" and I once later agreed, "He's a jack of all trades.... MASTER OF ALL" ... I highly recommend this album
