Music reviews of Music 1968-71
Music Review: The Best One Disc Compilation of the Man That's Out There! Poor Sound Quality Though!
Rating: 4 Stars
Mason Williams is that rare, eccentric talent that doesn't take himself too seriously. He comes up with brilliant melodies and tunes but doesn't think twice about adding these to very corny and off-beat lyrical jokes. Still, there is no denying his immense talent. Although his guitar-playing technique isn't brilliant compared with say a John Williams but then again very few if any are, he does play some decent guitar on many of the tracks here.
There are 22 tracks on one disc and all the tracks are very good and quite fairly represent the best Mason has ever done which means you are getting good value for money. A word of warning though for those of you looking for the original, Mike Post version of "Classical Gas" as the version here is not it; it's just Mason playing solo guitar without the lush orchestral backing.
I guess as a guitarist myself, I don't mind too much because this version actually makes it easier for me to learn and play along with although once Warner comes around to getting an mlps packaged, digitally remastered version of this album and "Phonograph Record" done, I'll get that as well as I also like the original version.
One weakness of this album, however, is the fact that the sound quality is quite poor and clearly needs to be cleaned up and digitally remastered from the best master tape that Warner can find in the vaults. Until that happens, this is the best cd of Mason's works that's out there. Recommended.
