Music reviews of Moonshine
Music Review: ''...and I'll tak oot his bonny blue e'en''
Rating: 5 Stars
This, along with Rosemary Lane, is, in my opinion, one of Bert's two greatest albums; more consistant and satisfying than the erratic brilliance of his better work. Something that usually isn't commented on is Tony Visconti's production; I don't know how the man himself rates this in the context of Bolan & Bowie, but he did a superb job. Some beautiful baroque arrangements grow fluidly from the understated guitar on the opener, Yarrow, and Bert himself sings life into the old formulaic tragedy of the ballad. Following this, Brought with the Rain seems almost like a folk-myth, faded with time and of unclear meaning, with a passionate vocal and embryonic accompaniment of circular guitar patterns and harmonica from Ralph McTell. Another beautiful arrangement and performance on The January Man, Bert's own Moonshine, and others. Very striking is Twa Corbies, in antique dialect and with grim imagery; two crows talk over the dead man they've come across, and manage to muse over his transitory existence (by now, his hunting hound is gone, his woman has found another, and nobody knows where he lies) and discuss what a good meal he'll make them. Not every piece on the album seems fully developed, but those that aren't are in no way 'throwaway', merely looser in feel and imagery. Not a perfect album, but one so full of quietly brilliant moments throughout that it is definitely worth gettin' hold of.
