Music reviews of Volunteers
Music Review: It Just gets better
Rating: 5 Stars
Well, Spencer's gone, we're all getting on, the present gets crappy and scary, and the 60's just get more mythical as we go. So when do we realize this band and their cronies were the Cassandras of their time? (Google her).
The music is epic and anthemic, even the quiet songs like "Good Shepherd" and "Turn My Life Down" have an urgency to them that asks the listener to think about the choices and compromises they have made, the lifestyles they have chosen.
I gave this album a good headphone listen tonight, and I'm convinced the reason this band has become so obscure and forgotten is because they spoke an uncomfortable truth to comfort. They were not about entertainment, but rather whatever entertainment's opposite is.
This album is not just a collection of erudite, well written and really well played songs, but a statement about America (as it was then) that has become horribly and prophetically realized 40 years later.
If Baxters was anti-commercial, Volunteers was anti-everything our dopey leaders thought was good for us, and (more importantly) them.
What is the last time music actually made any kind of political statement about the status quo, the way this album did? U-2, maybe, but every other pop artist these days is all about the mo-ney. No musician today will let you hear a discouraging word about the way things are, so listen to the increasingly ancient sounds of the Airplane to understand where politics briefly met art and music. Good luck on your 401K, motherf$#*er!
