Rob, did you say 'Paris Avenue OUTTAKES'?? OK, so Paris Avenue is not most folks' favorite dB's album, myself included. Trust me, though, these outtakes make for a really interesting collection. Admittedly, a few of these tunes are in the "not quite finished" category, but you've also got some fascinating experiments, such as "Explaining to a Child About Sex" and — my favorite of the bunch — the white funk workout "Love Is Letting Go of Fear" (take that, Sly Stone!). Add the earliest known demo for "Taken" and Will's lead vocal on "Second Time Around," and it all makes for a worthwhile listen. Whether you agree or disagree, please leave a comment so I'll know how you see/hear it...

Hi Rob,
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised at the lack of comments, but then again, I'm a little late with mine as well. Just wanted to pop in and say thanks again for all the sharing of db's material.
Cheers, Warren -- I'll take 'em whenever I get 'em!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the thanks...
Gave this a fresh listen. 'Money to Burn' is the must-hear here, as good as anything on Paris Avenue except the standout 'Girlfriend'. And 'Love is Letting Go' isn't as big a mistake as it first sounded.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to read this, Z. Funny when I compare it to my reaction, which was rather the opposite: "Money to Burn" sounding to me like a perfunctory throwaway, and "Love Is..." sounding like a rather brilliant Sly Stone-style experiment. Perhaps I should follow your lead and revisit the set again soon...
