TOO DARIUS (feat. Michael Franks, Joe Sample & David Sanborn)

The above thought occurred to me when Como's passing coincided with a recent spell of Michael Franks listening on my part. My first impression of Franks was that, despite his skill at songwriting, he was a bit of a lightweight--I asked myself; "Who says jazz needs its own John Sebastian?" Anyone who has that initial reaction to Franks should do what I did--let him grow on you. It isn't an easy thing to do for rock fans, who are used to the first impression either hitting you or missing you by a mile--we're used to being figuratively smacked upside the head by our entertainers. But this album's a good start--the song you might already know is love song cum geography lesson "Popsicle Toes". Who can argue with the cleverness of a song that says the thing that turns you on the most about your lady is that she has cold feet? Which correspond of course to Tierra del Fuego? Franks' writing style is literate and tongue-in-cheek sexy and his talent for arranging shows the capacity to come up with whatever fits the song, rather than songs that all sound alike except for the lyrics and melody a la Barry Manilow. He can even come up with lyrics for another artist's tune (see "The Dream", based on the Yellowjackets' "Local Hero", found on his "Dragonfly Summer" as well as their live set). The singer-songwriter format is alive and well, and in Franks' case, better than ever. It's just that artists like him go more for staying power than short-term overhype. 


The Best Of Michael Franks: A Backward Glance

Objects Of Desire

Dragonfly Summer

"Somehow Our Love Survives" was written with Joe Sample a few years back and included on an album by Joe, sung not by Michael, but by Al Jarreau. It's updated here a bit and takes a different feeling as sung by the author. "In The Yellow House" is a song from Michael's play "Noa Noa." It's a duet, a conversation between Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Gaguin. Sadness abounds here, Michael seems distant but his lyric is still so poetic, for lack of a better term. This album, which might be another indicator of the distance, is the last studio album from Michael for Warner Brothers.
