Music reviews of Listening to Richard Brautigan
Music Review: a serene march to oblivion
Rating: 5 Stars
poor richard brautigan...gone too soon and by his own poetic hands.
you mustn't have a hippie's sensibility to appreciate this lovely but sparse overview of his work. brautigan's cadence has a touch of stephen hawking's voice machine (seriously, it does), but it is a gentle and intelligent voice that warrants repeat playings. i won't bore you with a critique; brautigan inhabits a private landscape that he aptly reveals with a few well constructed sentences. other writers often take pages to create such vivid imagery.
the cd quality is excellent. any incidental background noise is nicely incorporated into the texture of poem. the only grievance is the playing time of the disc--56 minutes. would've been nice to have had about 25 more minutes of his peculiar musings.
Description of Listening to Richard Brautigan
This early-'70s cult classic doesn't just feature hippie/beatnik writer Richard Brautigan reading from his novels "Trout Fishing in America," "A Confederate General from Big Sur" and "In Watermelon Sugar," as well as his short story collection "A Revenge of the Lawn" and various poems; it also has such tracks as "Here Are Some More Sounds of My Life," which features the sounds of the author brushing his teeth, taking off his clothes and shaving. In other words, you really are "listening to Richard Brautigan," and if those mundane sounds don't pique your interest, then there are the disarming, poetic moments, like when you hear phones ringing while Brautigan explains why he won't answer the phone, or when he shares the actual sound of the stream he wrote about in "Trout Fishing in America." Special guests include Michael McClure, Imogen Cunningham and Bruce Conner, but for 52 minutes this is pretty much pure Brautigan, as whimsical and searching as ever.General CDs
