Free Music Notes for Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind: Singles and Demos 1964-1967
Free Music Review: My current favorite CD
Hit: 5 Stars
Despite the vintage of these recordings, Vashti Bunyan is a fresh voice. The "Train Song" is especially appealing, and was used recently in a TV commercial, which is where I first heard her sing. If you were a fan of folk rock in the 60's, you would probably put this CD on the same shelf as Simon and Garfunkel, Joni Mitchell, and Judy Collins.
Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind: Singles and Demos 1964-1967 Poster
Following the amazing success story of Vashti Bunyan's recent reemergence as an artist after an exile of over 30 years comes the release of Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind, a comprehensive collection of early recordings from the period prior to her classic 1970 Just Another Diamond Day album. Titled after the (Jagger/Richards-penned) debut single which opens the double-album, Some Things attempts to both draw a line under the past and also to set the record straight regarding the disparity between how Bunyan viewed (and still views) herself and the way the public views her as an artist. While she is widely regarded as folk singer these recordings instead reveal Bunyan as a pop singer, however "fragile" and unique. As she explains in her liner notes to the album, "I have heard it said that Andrew Oldham took this fragile little folk singer and tried to make her into a pop singer against her will. No, he didn't. Too fragile for his world I might have been, but that was no fault of his...I wanted to bring simple acoustic music into mainstream pop."This complete collection of Bunyan's 25 existing early recordings is a young London girl's series of beautiful love songs that resonate profoundly via an almost brutal efficiency and honesty. The melodies seem timelessly sweet and addictive, the vision at once delicate but somehow tough as granite. The first disc gathers together the early singles (two of which were unreleased) and a set of demos recorded between 1965 and 1967; the second comprises the and entire, unaltered contents of a long-forgotten tape discovered at the last minute before mastering, containing a set of raw, pure, intimate recordings.
The renewed interest in Vashti Bunyan continues, and has outpaced the attention she initially received in the mid-'60s and a pair of UK singles. Her 1970 album, Just Another Diamond Day, became a touchstone for the likes of Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom, and was reissued in 2000. Having left the music business, she returned with her second album in 2005, Lookaftering. This new set doubles her available output. The first disc of the set offers those rare Decca singles (including the title track, penned by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards). These make it clear that, while she's been labeled a folk singer, her writing was decidedly more diverse in its simplicity. Production and arrangement approaches aimed were infused with pop sensibilities, bringing those inclinations to the fore without bending the songs into inappropriate shapes. Intimate and captivating, the second disc is from a long forgotten tape, on which she performs a dozen songs solo, one after another, as a demo in 1964. --David Greenberger
