Music reviews of Paradise

Music Review: Excellent
Rating: 4 Stars

Man, this is one STRANGE album. And I don't say that because of its avant guarde elements. I have listened to so much "out" music, it is second nature.

On Paraidise, Sonny and Linda Sherrock play guitar and sing, respectively, over slick, funky grooves. The couple's work is defiantely going way outside the chord changes.

Nothing wrong with this intrinsically, but this sounds more like they took their favortate groove album and played over it. The mixing of styles feels forced, not organic.

I have listened to Sonny, and Linda, for years, and they have made some great music. Both could make a great R&B album, or a great avant jazz wallpaper shreader, at will. I am sure they could have made a great album combigning both. This just is not it.

Still, the playing is excellent. The grooves are chunky, and I really do respect the impulse at work here. Hence the four star rating.

Description of Paradise

In the '60s, Sonny Sharrock was one of the top avant-garde guitarist and Miles Davis, Don Cherry and Herbie Mann all made use of his intense and wild playing. This classic album featuring his wife Linda on vocals was originally released on the Atco label in 1975. The duo's free-from avant-garde guitar and vocals are blended with fusion/electric grooves on Moog, Rhodes piano, Clavinet and percussion. Newly remastered and available for the first time on CD, with detailed liner notes by Byron Coley. Water. 2002.
