Description
Terry Manning (Enterprise ENS 108)
Wonderful Singer-Songwriter recorded at Ardent Studios, Memphis with Chris Bell of Big Star. Amazing LP that does not come around often. Written in the Acid Archives:
"Home Sweet Home" 1970 (Enterprise ENS-1008)
Manning may have done this album as kind of a lark. He's not a songwriter, and there's nothing serious about this record. Maybe that's why this is so good, the kind of record that I can't imagine any rock fan not enjoying. He begins with the unthinkable, a truly minblowing cover of "Savoy Truffle," a ten minute tour de force of creative arrangements that is as good a Beatles' cover as anyone has ever done. The fun doesn't end with just that one song. There are trashy rock originals, more wild cover versions, outrageous drum breaks, hilarious female backing vocals, irresistible fuzz guitar riffs, feedback and absurd lyrics. Side two is a notch lesser than side one, but this is an enjoyable romp not quite like any other. Manning shows equal parts reverence and disdain for a whole host of rock and roll traditions. Perhaps it's mostly a novelty, but psych fans will like it, roots rock fans will like it, punks will like it, garage fans will like it, and warped soul fetishists will like it. Beatles fans might even like it. Now let's all get down and do the trashy dog! [AM]
