This shit fucking sucks.
>>129769950True
>>129769950He doesn't get good until the 90s, stick with it.

The Heart of a Saturday Night [Asylum, 1974]Last time he was an urban romantic with a good eye who you would have figured for a Ferlinghetti fan if you'd thought about it. This time he begins to sound like a Ferlinghetti imitator, and while nostalgia for past bohemias sure beats nostalgia for past wars, it's still a drain and a drag. I mean, there might be more coverable songs here if maudlin melodies didn't merge with neon imagery in the spindrift dirge of the honky-tonk nicotine night. Dig? C+
he got good in the mid-80s when his wife tuned him in to Captain Beefheart.Frank's Wild Year and Swordfishtrombone are all-time classics
His run from swordfishtrombones to bone machine is elite and anyone who disagrees has bad taste. Mule Variations is solid but some of the songs feel too samey and repetitive, Real Gone is a fucking masterpiece.
>>129769950I like his music though
>>129769979Yeah I pretty much only like those albums and the one that precedes the 90s
>>129770397SFT is probably his best album imo
