Sorry to have been so clueless about your past posting history since it's so extensive I haven't had time to check it out. As for Lindsey's albums, I think with a little more first hand knowledge of the subject there might be less chance of being misunderstood. And, at the risk of repeating Jeffles and Sulamith, while everybody's bored, restless and just waiting for new music, now might be a good time to catch up on some reading in the Blue Letter Archives and digging for some songs/interviews/performances, etc. we haven't heard. I, for one, am exhausted with the S&L contests. Barbara

"Is there anyone else aware that the great Peter Green made an uncredited appearence on Tusk?"
Yes. For more on that, make sure you read the next episode of Tusk: The Story Behind the Story in the Rumours board. "Has anyone heard Camper Van Beethoven's version of Tusk? They redid the entire album. I haven't heard it yet, but I have heard their music and its very good." I bought it as soon as it was released. There are plenty of rather irreverent renditions of the songs. Some zany takes on songs like Sisters of the Moon, Honey Hi and Angel. This album is not for the faint-hearted. It is nothing like the Rumours tribute, but if you know Camper Van, you probably have a pretty good idea of what to expect. My favorites include their takes on Storms and Save Me a Place. Interestingly, and not to perpetuate this Stevie vs. Lindsey debate, but David Lowery, lead singer of Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker, said that when Camper started recording their version of Tusk in 1987, no one wanted to sing Stevie's songs. But they all loved Lindsey! The recordings were then shelved for years and forgotten about. But someone related to the band came across them a couple of years ago, and the members of the then-disbanded Camper decided to finish the project. Incidentally, Camper has done a bunch of shows recently, and I understand they have been playing the song "Tusk. When I saw Cracker in March, the Camper guys were there and they shared the stage with Cracker on a bunch of songs. It was very cool. |

And a quick word to Tyshiria - (in all honesty) please do try to keep from comments like "your mother". I would really hate to see this thread close with actual intelligent conversation going on like in the other thread that closed. There was come great stuff in there and, well, I'd like to keep reading new posts on this one. -Brian

That's interesting about Peter Green. Where did you find that out?
Also, I could see why a bunch of guys wouldn't want to sing Stevie's very soft and feminine songs. Even though Lindsey's songs on tusk are very quriky, they are very masculine, so I can understand that. Do they do the faking an orgasm thing when they do Not That Funny?

This and that
Wasn't the appearance by Peter Green on Brown Eyes just a few notes or something really minimal?
AND, I ordered Camper Van Beethoven's Tusk - twice I've gotten defective disk #2's - they had no music on them, so I'm still waiting to hear half the tracks. Sisters of the Moon (on disk #1) is so funny I could hardly pay attention for laughing. These guys really have a good time - their take on Tusk is not for the serious or supersensitive. I'll bet Lindsey got a huge kick out of it . . .maybe I'll ask if somebody shows up in another Q&A session that would know. Barbara

Music Education!!!!
Hey Ty, I suggest you go to Fleetwood Mac's archive and
dig...to get some education on WHY... TUSK was different! Fleetwood Mac guitarist ...Lindsey BucKINGham says..."It is still my favorite album!" His non-commercial New Wave try! Every great musician I know wants to move... Ahead!!! Sky

hey
Sulasmith, there is no fake orgasm in Camper's Not That Funny. However, they add some lyrics to the song, something like: "Here comes a dogfish, chased by a catfish." It's really wacky. You should definitely get it, though be warned that is irreverent and if you take the band too seriously, as some folks around here seem to, you might not appreciate it. However, as any Lindsey fan worth his/her salt would, you'll probably like it.
Barbara, wait till you hear the version of Honey Hi. I won't give it away, but the first time I heard it, I was in my car. Let's just say it freaked me out. And by the way, since I am a generous guy, I thought I'd share this with you all: Everyone is entitled to my opinion. And don't forget, indifference is a more effective weapon. (Not sure those two thoughts go together, but hey, considering I was coming out of discussing Camper Van, I felt somewhat disjointed anyway.) Peace to you all. My doctor told me to cut back to two posts a day. I may get a second opinion. |

I just order the Camper Tusk CD, looking forward to hearing it...
I didn't take that "mother" comment personally....The Rumours tribute album was quite bad (for the most part). The best song on the album was Matchbox Twenty's (a band that I am not particuraly fond of) version of Never Going Back Again. The worst song was Elton John's wimpy Don't Stop. |

The thing that I didn't like about Tusk at first was it's running order. I've NEVER thought that "Over & Over" should've been the opening track...UGH!! It's like listening to a funeral dirge right off the bat...and I'm supposed to like the rest of the album?? I really like "Over & Over", but as the first song of side 1?? huh-uh. no way. It's more of an ender than a starter, I think...kind of like "Why".
I went through about 4 copies of the LP by listening to one song at a time and skipping around instead of playing it straight through. JEEZ was I happy that CDs and the programming capability was invented. Now, other than having the shortened "Sara", I can hear the album the way *I* want to listen to it. My tracking order of the "single album" version of Tusk: Honey Hi Angel Think About Me What Makes You Think You're The One Sara Save Me A Place Never Forget I Know I'm Not Wrong Brown Eyes Sisters Of The Moon Tusk Over & Over That's Enough For Me Sometimes, to vary it a little, because I can, I'll substitute "Storms" or "Beautiful Child" for "Sara", "Walk A Thin Line" for "Save Me A Place", "The Ledge" or, {gulp} "Not That Funny" (which I really don't like the studio version much at all) for "I Know I'm Not Wrong". Quote:
Peter's part on "Brown Eyes" IS significantly smaller than it was on Bob Welch's "Night Watch" on the Penguin album, though. Quote:
I still think Eva Cassidy's version of "Songbird" outdoes Christine's own...and that really IS saying something...they should've put HER version on this album. Last edited by chiliD; 08-23-2002 at 02:24 AM.. |
