Intelligent pop-driven songcraft.......2006-08-14

Great record. Beautiful, Beatles-esque arrangements and melodies, smart but not overindulgent lyrics, and album-length consistency. I stumbled on it at a listening station at my local CD shop and grabbed it. Wonderful stuff.

Best of the year.......2006-08-03

This is my favorite album of the year so far! (the only other contenders really were Zoysia from the Bottle Rockets and Golden Smog's new one) Every song is infectious -- check out the sax choir in the middle of "Chatterbox" or the loopy melody in "The Trouble with Henry". Wonderful album from start to finish.

A Chasm of Pop Miracles.......2006-07-29

Sorry for the pretentious review title, but, when the cello in "Sugar On the Knees" or the flute solo in "Making it Up Again" or the Autoharp in "Suddenly A Summer Night" drop you into said Chasm, you'll know what I mean.

From the novella-like instrument credits to the gorgeous, surreal cover art to the songs themselves, this whole affair is musical Theater and Cinema at its finest.

Most importantly, Mr. Mead, enormous talent aside, obviously believes in the "Magic" and redemptive qualities of fine music and loves his work.

A record that fans of Pop (alt and otherwise) can love for a lifetime.

amazing talent.......2006-06-25

I agree with the reviewer that rates this as the best pop album of the year. For these ears, this is some of the best music out there today. I recently saw him do a solo show, and continue to be blown away by his extraordinary voice and songs. That's plenty good enough, but when you hear the full arrangements and the production of Brad Jones on this disc...well, it's stunning. You add the CD packaging with the original artwork and you've got one very tasteful, gorgeous piece of work. His music is vibrant and original, and he continues to get better each time out. As others have said, check this guy out!

Blimey this is fab.......2006-05-19

This is excellent. 'Sugar on the Knees' has a 'Wild Honey' era Beach Boys things going on. 'Suddenly a Summer Night' is a 70's MOR song (a good thing in case you were wondering). Pulse all of this through a blender set on 70's band Squeeze, add a dash of McCartney (Is this guy completely pissed off yet over that comparison? Probably not) and you've got quite an appealing proposition.

Unique recording of a unique star.......2002-01-17

This is a must for fans of Talu'. It's more refreshing than the bucket of water Tallulah's aunt doused Talu' with when Talu' was 6 years old. Besides, do you know of any other product that gives one audio recordings of this star? The routines are surprisingly clean. Only audiophiles will react negatively to this CD: Although a great deal of effort has been put in cleaning up these old audio recordings, some are still a bit muddy.

Customer Reviews:

Extraordinary.......2001-03-30

Set as a USO show in the 1950s where Ella Fitzgerald doesn't show up, this show presents Tova Feldshuh as Tallulah Bankhead telling stories from her life, giving out with naughty jokes, speaking from her heart, presenting songs including Ella's "A Tisket A Tasket" like you've never heard it before. Tova has Tallulah down exactly yet she's not really imitating her. Nor is she parodying her. She has summed up this tempestuous artist's talent, strengths, failings, humor and despair memorably. One of the most unusual albums you'll ever hear.

Classic.......2006-11-08

The Go Betweens has been in my heart since the 80's. I've never got the chance to get hold a copy of their recordings then due the fact that it was never released here. But now you can find it here on the rack of Tower Records!

Right here and Bye bye pride were just two of the songs which remind me of my high school days. The other tracks were a breath of fresh air and introduced me songs i've never heard off from The Go Betweens.

oh my........2006-08-16

Being merely fifteen, the go-betweens were before my time. however, i recently got this album and i am in love with it. i dont love it, i am in love with it. even my tonedeaf seven year old brother appreciates hope then strife, stating that it was his favourite song, along with bigmouth strikes again, by the smiths. bye bye pride could be one of my favourite songs ever, and i dont get tired of this album. buy, buy, BUY!!!

The Flood of Love.......2006-02-10

I put this up there, way up there, in the GBs canon. Probably 3rd, behind "Oceans" and, what I believe is the consensus choice for absolute best in the catalog, "16 LL"...I know some (perfectly reasonable) GBs fans would put "Liberty Belle" ahead of this, and a fine record it is indeed. But this one, I dunno, something about the charm of it, the (admittedly flawed) production, the songs, the fact that this was the first record I personally heard by them, combine to give it that certain cache, that special something....

It was, I believe, a special time in the GBs history: they had just added Amanda Brown as a fifth, basically utility, player. After spending the rest of their history, up until then, as a four piece. And, she had a salubrious effect...not that there was anything wrong with their sound, but she simultaneously added depth, while lightening it up...and provided a lot of variety and richness to their arrangements that wasn't there before...

Some of the alltime great GB tunes, here, that's for sure, I mean c'mon, "Right Here", "Bye Bye Pride", "Clarke Sisters" and "House that Jack Kerouac Built"" on one record? It is, as they say, an embarrassment of riches...

So close to pop perfection...........2005-09-06

No, no, no stop you evil producer!!! "Tallulah"]comes oh so close to being a pop masterpiece, however the quest for chart acceptance resulted in some utterly hideous production. If you can get over this flaw and a few other little rhythmic and vocal problems here and there you may really enjoy this record. Track breakdown:

1. Right Here; This is one of Grant's most obvious attempts at a chart hit and whilst it sounds a little cheesy and very dated the melodies and vocal sentiments are undeniably beautiful.

2. You Tell Me: Forster's first track may not be one of his finest, however some of the lyrics are great interesting.

3. Someone Else's Wife: This had real potential. There is a nice atmosphere at work here and Brown's violin playing is quite stunning, however Grant's vocals just don't seem to work (he is more shouting than actually singing in a pleasant key). Flawed but enjoyable.

4. I Just Get Caught Out: Forster has a stab at a more straight forward pop song and it works quite well.

5. Cut It Out: This is probably their most cheesy song, however the female vocals that kick in during the chorus are quite beautiful.

6. The House That Jack Kerouac Built: The record really starts at shine with this Forster penned number. The vocals and lyrics are superb ("in a darkened cinema I'll give you pleasure in the stalls") and the arrangement has a nice jarring yet beautiful quality to it.

7. Bye Bye Pride: With track 7 we reach one of the finest pop moments they would create. Everything on this track is utterly perfect. Gorgeous vocals from Grant and Amanda, lovely melodies, introspective lyrics and some great woodwind to back it up. This along with "Cattle and Cane" is easily Grant's finest moment.

8. Spirit Of A Vampyre: Another fine Forster number that contains some nice reflective lyrics and a suitably rockier edge.

9. The Clarke Sisters: This remains my favourite album track. The subtle production, emotive vocals and gorgeous arrangement work perfectly. A fascinating character sketch and one of Forster's finest songs.

10. Hope Then Strife: A suitable way to end the record. There are a few little vocal moments that don't quite work here, however with better production this had potential to be one of Grant's best moments.

A flawed masterpiece if there ever was one!

Superb Rock Album.......2003-07-28

The Go-Betweens were one of the few rock bands who just got better and better with each new album. After SEND ME A LULLABY, their charming but somewhat limp debut, all of their subsequent releases were major classic pop masterpieces. TALLULAH, the bands' fifth album, is one of their finest. The long standing lineup of Grant McLennan, Robert Forster, Lindy Morrison and Robert Vickers was augmented here by multi-instrumentalist Amanda Brown, who added immeasurably to the group's ever growing proficiency and fullness of sound.

A great place to start for Go-Betweens' neophytes, TALLULAH contains some of the band's strongest and most delightful songs. The glorious "Right Here" and "Bye Bye Pride" are the album's most melodic and pop oriented songs, of course, but all of the others (especially "Hope Then Strife", the desparing and haunting final track) provide almost perfect examples of the group's beguiling and quirky music. The only true problem child, "Cut It Out", has received a great deal of flack over the years but it has an absolutely terrific chorus that irrefutably breaks the song free from the constraints of mediocrity.

It may not be The Go-Betweens' ultimate masterpiece--that would arguably be 16 LOVERS LANE--but TALLULAH is full of great songs and comes highly recommended for all fans of lush, ravishingly beautiful guitar rock.
