one brick short
(c) 2001 Dog Turner Records\n\ndavid grahame - vocals, guitars, bass, drums\ncynthia grahame - bgs on "loving you love"\n\nproduced by david grahame\nexecutive produced by alan haber\ncover art by tyler\n\nThird solo album in 4 years from Grahame, and for fans who have heard his first two will find the the next statement shocking: "OBS" is possibly the strongestof the three. Featuring the most fully arranged, lushly recorded and bestconceived songs of a catalog of consistently excellent pure pop, Grahamepulls all his Emitt Rhodes and Paul McCartney passion together and weaves it all into a style that is, uniquely, his own. (www.notlame.com)\n\n"Along with Mark Johnson, Emitt Rhodes and Marshall Crenshaw, is a mastercultivator of the homegrown record plant....(Grahame) takes a back-to-nature approach when it comes to channeling his spiritual mentor McCartney.Hehas the spectacle of "Beatlemania" in common with Crenshaw , who wentfrom young angry John to spectacled Lennon without skipping a beat. Grahame followed suit with his own Pepper regalia. But Marshall left John behind,opting for pre-Beatles guitar heroics as pictured through a Carole King wide lens. By contrast, Grahame hones and backs his McCartney jones with a talent and production savvy that earns its Wings. With Rhodes, Grahame shares a gift for miniaturist song gizmos that quote McCartney's melodic sense but not his melodies. They're original, not originally original. They're full-bodied sketches -- not only do they draw skillfully on sourceslike McCartney's solo debut and Paul Simon when he mattered, they flesh out a few lines of their own. ..... He recorded OBS at home on inexpensive equipment. If an artist can do this much with so little, squeezing a bright, grabby sound out of geezer equipment, Grahame could be recordedevidence that big studios are a sham. I swear, they should bring back a new kind of Grahame-a-phone. Because this talented renegade blurs the line between record player and instrument player. To go back to a tree metaphor -- only David Grahame can chop wooden clich
