the "Final Tour." But in those years
,captured on Missing the band still had
its soul. Their originality had been
fully realized with Tommy and The
Who indeed had a sound of their
own.
One of the best tracks on this new
(old) record is the "never-recorded-
YI
before" live version of "Bargain."
Raw and bursting with energy, it
features Daltrey's ultra-gravelly
vocals and the brilliance of Moon to
drive it. The Who were doing what
they did best: being loud and power-
ful and reworking the definitions of
rock.

one can see from this record not only
why The Who had to change, but hove
they did it, and how the change affec

Marshall Crenshaw-
Downtown
Warner Brothers
Because he has listened to anc
leaned from the likes of Buddy Holly
and the Beatles, Marshall Crenshaw
has a firm understanding of the
elements of great rock 'n roll,
Although Downtown is not as
melodically consistent as his twc
previous albums, Crenshaw remains
one of the finest pop songwriters
today, warmly embracing his early
influences in his own tuneful sound.
While his last effort, Field Day, was
plagued by the senseless overproduc-
tion of Steve Lillywhite, Crenshaw
here returns to a sparse, effectively
simple sound with the help of
producer T-Bone Burnett.
Taken as a whole, this collection
contains an appealing rockabilly feel,
but the real stars are Crenshaw's out-
standing melodies. "The Distance
Between" kicks-off the second side
with a delightful, glowing tune that
simply ends too soon. Similarly,
"Blues Is King" possesses a
beautiful, soaring chorus over the
steady rocking of brother/drummer
Robert Crenshaw, making this a truly
great pop tune.

Later, Crenshaw invites the listener
e to get happy with the bouncing
rockabilly beat of "(We're Gonna)
y Shake Up Their Minds," which builds
a deftly towards a superb walking bass-
- line bridge. The album's real gem,
however, is "Lessen Number One;" a
gorgeous ballad enriched by stunning
two-part harmonies. It stands as one
of Crenshaw's finest melodies ever,
reminiscent of the Beatles' "I'll
Follow the Sun."
In addition, Crenshaw is not afraid
I to break with convention, effectively
using unusual instruments and
techniques that would seem mere
gimmicks if employed by a lesser
talent. Examples include the stabbing
rock 'n roll rumba beat of drummer
Tom Ardolino on the wonderful
"Yvonne;" T-Bone Burnett's electric
sitar playing ("Terrifying Love");
and the eerie tamboura strains waf-
ting throughout the spacious,
swaggering rhythm of "I'm Sorry
(But So Is Brenda Lee)."
Only "Little Wild One (No. 5)" and
a cover of "Right Now" suffer from
unexceptional melodies, but even
here Crenshaw is rather successful,
employing urgent, rocking beats that
are downright fun.
At times, the melodies of Downtown
are slightly less fluid than those of
Crenshaw's earlier works.
Nonetheless, this Berkeley, Michigan
native has created yet another truly
affecting collection of tunes that is
recommended listening for anyone
who cares about fine rock 'n roll.

Nuggets: vol. 5 (Pop part
III), 6(Punk part II) and
7(Early San Francisco)
Rhino's Nuggets compilations set
out to return the best U.S. 1960s psych-
punk and pop to readily available
vinyl - and, like their namesake
precursor, at that they succeed.
However, unlike Nuggets' earlier
incarnation(compiled by I
Kaye); the current Nuggets ha
panded into seven volumes, with
on the way. The advantage
disadvantages of expansion are'
obvious. The advantage is, of c
more groovy tunes for you and m
Disadvantages are financial-
.unlikely anyone could enjoy shu
out the bucks for a 20-volume r
set; and (2) potentially qualitat
recall how some other multi-v
psych compilations tend to wea
on truly good material by volum
Thankfully, though, volumes

thoughtfulness in the inclusions
there are some real ob
gems, as well. However, there
a vague lack of direction histor
in most volumes (vol. 7 is thee
tion),as well as a lack of certain:
of pertinent information - likec
as well as writing and produ
credits.
Volume 5, the third devoted t
seems to center around the
60s/early 70s and goes for a
psyched-out sound, but is sti
from historically cohesive. It's
for the listener to make an assoc
leap from the straight beat Kn
bockers, Vacels, and Vogues t
folky/mystic Beatleism of the L

Detroit area garage greats the

Volume seven is by far the most
focused: historically, regionally, and
musically. Early, pre-Summer of

place. The sequence of songs from
the folky Beau Brummels and

their recording of "Somebody " to

Gene Sculatti's selections and
illuminating liner notes intinte
subltle changes in the scene as it Was
building up for the psychedelic
esplosion of '67. By far, the most
singularly solid volume of Nuggets
thus far.
Like the previous volumes of
Nuggets, these three most recent are
recommended. They include
something for everyone with vague
interest in the rock climate of tie
States in the 60s. Even though the
season to be jolly is over, groovers
and diggers might find it to their ad-
vantage to put Nuggets on their post-
holiday gift request list.

S, and (DB)
Character is a great thing for a
olume band to have. It's better than image
part I and about as important. as per-
ion of sonality. And from the moment the
Public needle touches down on Fetchin
u find Bones' Cabin Flounder, one knows
this band has got it.
"A Fable" gets this North Carolina
band's debut LP off to a powerful
start. The drum beat is sparse, gutsy,
and quirky - which about sums up
the band as a whole. Don Dixon's in-
ventive production never fails, and
Fetchin Bones gives him great
material to work with. Hope Nicholls'
voice quivers' and moans over the
biting lyrics while the players pull the
listener along with their musical
hurricane. They never run out of little
gimmicks; harmonicas and electric
violin lines playfully pop up
throughout the record.
This band's got a character of their
own. Each song is somehow branded
Fetchin Bones, although the styles of
the individual tracks may vary. They
might flirt with country, Southeri
"jangle" rock, and even reel
thrashier stuff,. and while you'pe
always awazed by their versatilifi ,'
it's all somehow consistent.
"So Brilliant" kicks up its. heels anld
rocks, while its followup "Spinning'
finds Nicholls sharing vocals wi0i
Gary White (they do this on two other
songs as well, and the effect is
dynamic) and sounding like a cat i
heat in the background. At the son s
end the two singers wail along with
the harmonica, both instruments 4t
full force.
"Kitchen of Life" is a ferociou4y
feminist track, with Nicholls
throwing lines like bake a cake,
bake it sweet for him you know he
loves it that way over a poundig
rhythm which could trash any home
economist's kitchen. How do you
handle a hungry man? The man
handler.
With the exception of the soulfil
"Too Much" - which particularly
highlights Danna Pentes' wacky
violin playing, Cabin Flounder is4a@
E relentless powerhouse of an album .
Even this last song, although slower
than the other tracks, is equally ij-
tense in emotion and recalls Neil
Young's "Down by the River" in an
odd way.
