Music takes many directions
in review of country albums
By Lliic Frcct
Could it be? Today is the first day of
December, and we've yet to feature a
single country music album review. An
abysmal circumstance, to be sure, be
cause country music is currently in a
greater state of flux than it has been
for 30 years.
Indeed, the '803 could very well
prove to be the first time since the '50s
that country music comes to grip with
Records
its identity. Country music in the '50s
was --marked by a distinctive sound
that clearly denned its nuecJ boun
daries. There was no middle ground;
either you lixed country music or you
didn't ,
That lack of 'middle ground was the
chief fnlcr for the low volume busi
ness country music did. For the nest
SO , years, .country, music would- at
tempt to make itself more appealing to
a larger market.. The ccuntrypolltsn,
country-rock and urban cowboy move
ments did result in higher salss. At the
same tiir.3, however, it alienated a
.large number of country loyalists who
were dissatisfied with the "new coun
try sound. , .-' . K . ' ;.;
; These were the Riclsy Skates' and
the John Andersons who now domi
nate the country charts. Their Dure
sounds are an alien thing to the cros
sover artists who for years have
slicked down their music with pop
affectations and grandiose orchestral
arrangements. At the same time, the
emergence of "New Music" made it less
possible for these artists to chart a
record on the pop side. These are mus
ical orphans, looking for a new home.
Hence, the flux.
Keeping this in mind, here is a quick
look at several new releases that indi
cate the many directions country
music is heading in search of its iden
tity ' ' , .
Bobby Bare, Drinkin'From the Bot
tle, Singin'Frorn the Heart (Columbia)
If seventies culture can be described
as laid back, then Bobby Dare's music
over the past five years also can be
given that label. Here, Bare attempts
another' album' of Shel SOverstein
soro. most of them done at an easy
tempo, all of them celebrating the
virtues of kickin off your shoes and
having a pod of time. Good for a song
or two ("The Jogger made for an
enjoyable single) but it gets tiring over
the course of an entire album.
. Jimmy Euffett, One Pari&ulzr Har
bour (MCA) Buflctt b one cf those
crossover artists of yesteryear who
have yet to And a niche in the current
marketplace, lib drunker-than-thpu
Eoro cf the sea were occasionally
quite philosophical in the past, but
here he's just sort of going through the
motions. Better take out Son cf a Son cf
a Sziter and forget about One Particu
lar Harbour.
