Free Music Notes for Fan Dance
Free Music Review: Very Good Artistry, But To Be Honest, It Didn't Do Much For Me.
Hit: 3 Stars
I remember hearing Sam Phillips in concert and following her early career. Of course, many of you will know in those days she went by Leslie Phillips, and recorded four excellent albums in the Contemporary Christian music scene, where she was a welcome, trend setting voice. She even got an interview with Jane Pauley on Today after the hostess heard "Here He Comes Back From The Dead" on a radio and made a negative comment on air.
Those days are past tense. She had crossed over to the secular scene over a decade before releasing this project (it's almost been 20 years total). Some artists cross over for the purpose of evangelism; my impression from others as well as this project Phillips' goal is an opportunity to express herself artistically.
I would recommend Sam Phillips to those who like, for example, Tori Amos. The sound is very innovative. However, it was not my cup of tea. There was lyrics on one song that I was very uncomfortable with ("Soul Eclipse"). I did enjoy "Edge of the World." But I enjoyed her earlier, new wave upbeat style better.
Fan Dance Poster
For Sam Phillips, the days of star-making big-budget productions have passed. Having moved from Virgin, her major-label sponsor throughout the '90s, to Nonesuch, Phillips and longtime producer and husband T Bone Burnett have set aside the Beatle-esque pop that marked her uncovered 1988 gem The Indescribable Wow and the effervescent exotica that informed 1996's Omnipop for a more subdued approach. Still, the CD boasts the kind of complex lyrical passion that is a Phillips trademark. Phillips/Burnett collaborations have long been marked by sterling musicianship and Fan Dance is no exception: Van Dyke Parks, Marc Ribot, and Gillian Welch are among the contributors here. But the star of the show remains Phillips, whose vibrant personality shines brightly throughout this welcome comeback. --Steven StolderPop Music CDs
