Music reviews of Still Burning
Music Review: Child Among Queens
Rating: 4 Stars
It took me a decade to discover this set that was released in 1998. What a delight! The opener "Questions" rocks addictively with a great hook and energy, "Who's that man with the potion dressed in velvet & gloves, causing grief and commotion, talking 'bout love." "Rare, Precious & Gone" is another addictive track that throbs on a good beat, "She a queen among women, a child among queens, the finest thing your lovesick eyes have ever seen." "Everlasting Arms" is a lovely song of devotion, marred only by the squeak of fingers on the acoustic guitar. Tracks like the old-style rocker "Since I Found My School" & "Man on a Mountain" are excellent. Scott's in good form on this excellent set. Enjoy!
Description of Still Burning
All the promise of Mike Scott's former band, the Waterboys, is realized on his second solo release. With an open heart and an electric guitar, Scott creates his most personal and impassioned album to date. A disc that displays a complete lack of irony, Still Burning paints him as a natural mystic and spiritual seeker who worships rock & roll. Like fellow traveler Bob Dylan, Scott lords over a full-on rock sound with a timeless quality that proves that after all these years the fire's still burning. --Kevin ColeWhen former Waterboy Mike Scott wrote "The Whole of the Moon" (it appears on the group's This is the Sea) he assured his place in songwriter heaven. If nothing on Still Burning achieves the grandeur of that masterpiece, there are still gems aplenty here. Scott remains a bastion of passion and honesty. His Dylan-esque delivery tempers near purple prose into songs so seamless that it is easy to miss how good they are. Too, the Arthurian, religious, and romantic imagery is grounded by the soulful grooves of session wizards Pino Palladino and Jim Keltner, and the raw guitar of Chris Bruce. In short, they rock. The Waterboys were never afraid of the grand gesture, and Scott retains that bravado. You want long orchestral codas ("Love Anyway")? Raging leads ripping through a tribute to Hendrix ("King Electric")? A device song like "Open" where each line begins with "Open to..." would be gimmicky in the hands of a lesser songwriter, but Scott's sense of harmony saves the day. -- Michael Ross
