Anne Murrays Love Song'
enchanting despte style flaws
------------- ---- YI ____. ___ __._ ll11f111N ,
Chicano theatre group:
By MARNIE HEYN
According to my brother Grov-
er, who is the best 12-string
guitar player in the state and
who therefore should know, Anne
Murray has the most gorgeous
voice of any female vocalist
who's around right now. I agree.
And Love Song (Capitol ST
11266), her fourth and latest al-
bum, amply corroborates that
assessment. The voice is there,
clear and full, and with the kind
of control -that few popular wo-
men singers can match.
Murray has p u I I e d together
material covering a wide r:nge
of musical genres, and makes
most, if not all, of it work.
The advantage of this kind of
sampler is obvious: songs change
and sometimes grow from new
interpretations, it's fun, and we
can all learn from the endeavor.
The disadvantages are subtler:
insipid work, whether front lack
of attention or lack of ability
detracts from the enjoyment of'
both artist and artwork. That's
usually not a catastrophe - cer-
tainly not in the case of Love
Song-but it does inject a note of
melancholy.
Hugely talented people-musi-
cians, arrangers, production per-
sonnel, even the photographers
who did the album cover-have
flocked to work with Anne Mur-
ray, in part because she's proved
herself capable of delivering fine
performances of stuff ranging
from blues to country to rock to
gooey romantic ballads. So why
does she insist on singing Mo-
town? Ask any gypsy.
"Just One Look" is safely the
album - cut - to - drop - a - brick-
on - of - the - week. Everyone
sings and plays all the right
notes at the right time, but it
just doesn't have the basis of
creative raunch that would have
made it worth listening to.
Lennon and McCartney's "You
Won't See Me" works better, but
Murray's sunniness overpowers
the wail of desperation that the
song needs.
On the other hand, she sal-
vages everything possible in
Mancini and David's "Send A
Little Love My Way," but I
don't understand why she felt a
need to salvage anything from
the film score of Oklahoma
Crude.
But do not be deceived: Love
Song is a fine record, one that
deserves c 1 o s e attention. The
title song will make the toughest
honcho get all warm and mushy
inside. "Children of My Mind" is
a strong and powerful statement
of an artist's need to be heard
and understood.
I have the notion that Murray
is the kind of person who tries
to live with tenderness and con-
cern, who lives by reaching out.
That concern shines through all
of the nmbers, but especially in
"Real Emotion," Loggins and
Messina's "Watching the River
Run," and "Son of a Rotten
G a m b 1 e r." And "Backstreet
Lovin"' is excellent bittersweet
blues.
My favorite is Paul Grady's
"Another Pot of Tea," which is
the kind of gentle, gracious, and
carefully-focused vignette t h a t
will make me listen to almost
anything Annie M u r r a y ever
sings-even Motown-even love
songs.
I Message
By BARBARA CORNELL re
t They'll perform for just about
anyone - high school audiences, fo
migrant workers, poor people, ci
and University audiences - to sa
spread their message. of
They are a boistrous group, ex- an
'{pecting and receiving input from B
the audience: hoots for the bad
guys, and rowdy applause and Cl
cheering for the good guys. ve
Their performance was part of sa
the Chicano Awareness W e e k
Festivities, which aims to show is
the problems faced by Chicano th
students, and emphasize their
unity. sa
The idea for the Teatro de los s
Estudiantes grew out of an Amer-
ican Studies course taught by .
Fernando Gomez. According to.
IX ou
Gomez, it is one of the 73 to S
c
100 Chicano theatre groups in sju
the U.S.
Gomez said that his theatre is
"a reflection of life," and em- in'
AP Photo phasized that the group was not vi
erP? strictly propagandist. ig
"People tend to get toa hung g
r in Win- up with labels," he said, "and
he movie people say Chicano Therre is
a Boston political, but it is no more so
eators of than any other theatre."
hem. He He said that the groun philoso-
ars." phy was based on the Aztec idea
that "You are my other self. I
love and respect you. I love and
to the
spect myself."
The material the group per-
rms is somewhere between so-
al satire and comedy, Gomez
aid. He added that it is a way
saying, "Yo soy Chicano (I
m Chicano), I am not the Frito
andito."
"It is a way to show that
hicano culture is "just as di-
erse as any other culture," he
id.
The goal of the presentations
to destroy the stereotypes of
e media and his society by
owing its absurdity. Gomez
id the group does not achieve
s point by insulting other cas-
. We don't want to harm any-
ne else. We want to tell about
ur culture. We don't want to
ream for justice and not give
stice."
Two months after the group's
ception, it has already been in-
ted to perform at Eastern Mich-
an University, Western Michi-
an University and for the Ad-
masses
rian, Ann Arbor and Willow Run
public schools. They have also
been invited to perform at the
Chicano Theatre Festival in
Mexico City in June.
The group has both Chicano
and non-Chicano members. "They
are not tokens by any means,"
said Gomez. "We want to create
the feeling that somehow whire.,
brown, black, or whatever, we're
all people."
Along with making perform-
ances, the group has also been
asked by the University to make
a documentary on their efforts in
forming their company, and they
are also compiling an anthology
of Chicano drama, myths, bal-
lads, and "acts," or short plays
which Gomez insists "are not in
a skit, but an act because it is
too serious to be called a skit,"
Said Gomez, "We want to gen-
erate a consciousness among our
people. We're defining for our-
selves what our literature and
culture is."
