Music reviews of Praying Mantis
Music Review: not a toe-tapper!
Rating: 3 Stars
no, there's no music on this cd. but the guy's a poet, not a singer! i prefer this to most of the band stuff. then again, i'm a big fan. have been for nearly 20 years. "just visiting" and "loss of am. innocence" are my faves. for completists or carroll uber-fans? noooo! that distinction goes to "pools of mercury".that's how i feel, anyway.
Description of Praying Mantis
Those only familiar with 'People Who Died' may not realize that Jim Carroll, like Patti Smith and Tom Verlaine, first started performing as a poet in the Lower East Side scene. This 1991 album takes you to the heart of that scene, St. Mark's Church on the Bowery, for a series of poems and monologues taken from Carroll's collections 'Living at the Movies' (1973), 'The Book of Nods' (1986) and 'Forced Entries' (1987), as well as a 14-minute improvised rant entitled 'The Loss of American Innocence'. Something of a greatest-hits poetry collection, this digipak reissue is essential for Jim Carroll fans!Punk CDs
