Music reviews of A Song For My Father
Music Review: An interesting concept
Rating: 3 Stars
This in an interesting CD; second generaton artists performing songs of their fathers. Being a huge Brian Wilson fan, I bought this CD mainly for Carnie and Wendy's version of "Warmth of the Sun". Most of the renditions are fairly true to the originals but a few are "modernized" a bit.
Salvador Santana's version of "Evil Ways" is freshened up a bit from the original. Matthew and Gunnar Nelson's "Travelin' Man" has way too much bass added. I can't even listen to it without shutting off my equalizer. I guess it's great if you want to thump the windows out of your car.
"Lover's Cross" by A. J. Croce, "Cat's In The Cradle" by Jen Chapin, "Midnight Rider" by Devon Allman, and "Up On The Roof" by Louise Goffin (Carole King) are all pleasant versions of the originals.
I was familiar with the George Jones version of "Bartender's Blues" which was written by James Taylor. His son, Ben, sounds remarkably like him here.
"Soul Shake Down Party" by Ky-Mani Marley is a song I wasn't familiar with. It's ok, but doesn't do much for me. "Bird On A Wire" is another song that I was familiar with through Johnny Cash's version. Here it's performed by Adam Cohen, son of composer Leonard Cohen.
"Yellow Moon" by Ian Neville is ok. I've always enjoyed Wilson Phillips and Wendy and Carnie Wilson's version of "Warmth Of The Sun" and Chynna Phillip's verson of "Got A Feeling" are both quite good.
"Run To Me" by Spencer Gibb is also true to the Bee Gees version. The last cut is Arlo Guthrie's "Coming Into Los Angeles" performed by his daughter Sarah Lee Guthrie. It's a low-key acoustic version. Not nearly as much fun as the original.
These are classic songs and it's fun hearing them performed by the offspring of the original composers. It's not a "must-have" CD but for the money it's not bad.
