Now I think you are just trying to troll me with all these organ records.
ReplyDeleteWell that certainly brought joy to me!
ReplyDeleteTHIS. IS. SWEET!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you share nothing else this year, you have already hit the jackpot. I can honestly say this doesn't sound like any other record I've heard. And in a good way.
It's the crazy vocals that if you listen closely aren't real words, that's what does it for me. Wish there were more of those. Maybe I could go out and buy a Lowrey organ and make my own record!
ReplyDeletei was ready to skip this one along with the other organ albums. ernie long ago pulled out all his stops in praise of these things, so i couldn’t trust him. no, it was brad that got to me. now he should go after organ-hater-number-one: buster. here, i’ll try to help. oh buster, if you are going to download one organ record this season, this should be it. why? because it’s just bizarre. several selections feature a chorus whose members all have cleft palates and sing in a language known only to themselves. in fact, i think ernie might be selling his grand tour short; for these people might very well be from antarctica. mercifully, they didn’t try to tackle ‘rudolph the red nosed reindeer’ or the PC cops would be hauling us all off to jail.
ReplyDeleteas for the rest of the music, for me it’s hit and miss. that’s high praise from someone who would normally say all miss. some of the arrangements reflect a certain aplomb, as if written to be roller rink music played only when the house is on fire. and surely, any record with two awe’s can’t expect to be taken too seriously.
barba,
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of record that appeals to those who indulge in psychoactive drugs. I am not one of them. However, your description sounds like the disc may be something I should hear, just once.
You are not getting me to listen to Ernie's Marcy records, however.
By the way, Dennis Awe made a solo record in the 1970s. For some reason literally hundreds of copies ended up in the local thrift stores. You still run across them 40 years later. I thought you ought to know.
ReplyDeleteOMG, this is so 'silent majority '70s' (okay, technically early 80s) that I gotta have this one in my download collection NOW! awesomely cheese-tastic! :)
ReplyDeleteThe "silent majority 70s" take would be either Hey! This is jazzy! or Wow! So peppy!
ReplyDeleteThe "vocals" on those two tracks might be nightmare inducing, but fortunately I like organ music, so I'll take them with the good tracks. Thanks, as always!
LOL, love the comments, and I'm actually convince to try out another organ record. Thank you. The vocals have me curious.
ReplyDeleteThis put a smile on my face within the first 15 seconds.
