Exotic Birds and Fruit $34.39 In the old days of LPs, it used to be easy to set an automatic record player such that, when the needle came to the end of one side of a record, the tone arm would pick up, glide back to the outer rim of the disc, drop down, and start all over again. Thus, one could listen to the same 20 minutes of music repeatedly, and some people never bothered to turn the records over and listen to the other sides. If any LP might have been designed for this procedure, it was Procol Harum’s seventh studio album, Exotic Birds and Fruit, initially released in April 1974. The four songs making up side one — “Nothing But the Truth,” “Beyond the Pale,” “As Strong as Samson,” and “The Idol” — featured some of the band’s best later work. They had retreated somewhat from the orchestral hybrid of their previous album, Grand Hotel, although “Nothing But the Truth” still boasted a string arrangement. They replaced the sweetening with extra muscle in the remaining instruments, making this one of the group’s harder rocking sets. And lyricist Keith Reid, having explored elegant decay in Grand Hotel, was unusually straightforward in his social prescriptions here. True, the words still dripped with literary references to everything from Shakespeare to ancient mythology, but, as Reid declared up front, this time he was interested in “Nothing But the Truth.” He expressed that truth most eloquently in “As Strong as Samson,” an outright political statement, if one spoken in general terms. The song was also downcast, and composer/singer/pianist Gary Brooker gave it a lovely, wistful melody. The disillusionment was completed with the final song on the first side and its tagline, “Just another idol turned to clay.” In contrast to the masterpiece that was side one, side two of the LP was uneven, containing second-echelon songs, the best of them perhaps being the most lighthearted, “Fresh Fruit,” a tune that gave Brooker a chance to exercise his barrelhouse piano talents. In this CD reissue, annotator Patrick Humphries suggests that the rocker “Butterfly Boys” might have been directed at the executives at the band’s label, Chrysalis Records. If so, they must have been unhappy, as Brooker cried, “Give us a break! We got the crumbs…you got the cake.” The reissue adds two bonus tracks, the first being the non-LP B-side “Drunk Again” (Reid writes so much about drinking, it makes you worry about his liver), a rocker that allows Brooker to bring out his inner Jerry Lee Lewis. The second is an alternate mix of “As Strong as Samson” that is in a lower key than the master take. Since it seems to be the same take, just a bit slower (and 17 seconds longer), that may account for its being in D flat. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Gary Brooker – Harmonica, Vocals, Keyboards, Piano; Alan Cartwright – Bass; |

Exotic Birds and Fruit [Bonus Tracks] $11.18 After two albums that combined progressive rock with orchestral grandeur, Procol Harum returned to the basics on this 1974 outing. This time, the accent was returned to the thick electric guitar and swirling guitar on a batch of lushly textured but driving songs that covered everything from hard rock to moody prog and even a bit of music hall comedy. In the rock category, the most memorable numbers are the opener, “Nothing but the Truth,” a punchy tune that displays the group’s thorough grasp of rock dynamics as it veers between metallic riffing and rollicking keyboard flourishes over a stomping beat, and “Monsieur R. Monde,” a bracing mid-tempo track that punctuates its guitar-heavy attack with some infectious cowbell accents from drummer B.J. Wilson. In the progressive arena, the most interesting tunes are “The Idol,” a sumptuous epic that adds layer after layer of keyboard and guitar as it tells the story of a hero’s fall from grace, and “The Thin End of the Wedge,” an avant-garde tune that highlights Mick Grabham’s guitar work as it creates a surreal, gothic atmosphere. Other memorable tunes include “Beyond the Pale,” a tune about the search for the Holy Grail that mixes pop hooks with a Germanic folk song feel, and “Exotic Fruit,” an amusing song that extols the virtues of its titular subject over a bouncy English music hall melody. It’s a diverse group of songs and styles, but the group delivers them with aplomb and energy, and the album is further bolstered by a sumptuous, consistent Chris Thomas production that makes sure everything blends together smoothly. As a result, Exotic Birds and Fruit is one of Procol Harum’s finest efforts of the ’70s. [Trivia note: The 2000 reissue of this album on Repertoire Records added a single version of "As Strong as Samson" and "Drunk Again," a non-album B-side and one of Procol Harum's finest and heaviest rockers. The album was issued again in 2004, this time through Friday Music, and featured "Drunk Again" as well as an extended studio take of "Blue Danube."] ~ Donald A. Guarisco, Rovi Performers: Alan Cartwright – Bass, Guitar (Bass); Barrie Wilson – Drums, Percussion; Chris Copping – Organ; Gary Brooker – Vocals, Piano; Mick Grabham – Guitar (Electric) |

Birdology: Adventures with a Pack of Hens, a Peck of Pigeons, Cantankerous Crows, Fierce Falcons, Hip Hop Parrots, Baby Hummingbirds, and One Murderously Big Living Dinosaur (t) By Sy Montgomery $9.99 Meet the ladies: a flock of smart, affectionate, highly individualistic chickens who visit their favorite neighbors, devise different ways to hide from foxes, and mob the author like she’s a rock star. In these pages you’ll also meet Maya and Zuni, two orphaned baby hummingbirds who hatched from eggs the size of navy beans, and who are little more than air bubbles fringed with feathers. Their lives hang precariously in the balance—but with human help, they may one day conquer the sky. <P>Snowball is a cockatoo whose dance video went viral on YouTube and who’s now teaching schoolchildren how to dance. You’ll meet Harris’s hawks named Fire and Smoke. And you’ll come to know and love a host of other avian characters who will change your mind forever about who birds really are. <P>Each of these birds shows a different and utterly surprising aspect of what makes a bird a bird—and these are the lessons of <I>Birdology</i>: that birds are far stranger, more wondrous, and at the same time more like us than we might have dared to imagine. In <I>Birdology, </i>beloved author of <I>The Good Good Pig </i>Sy Montgomery explores the essence of the otherworldly creatures we see every day. By way of her adventures with seven birds—wild, tame, exotic, and common—she weaves new scientific insights and narrative to reveal seven kernels of bird wisdom. <P>The first lesson of <I>Birdology </i>is that, no matter how common they are, Birds Are Individuals, as each of Montgomery’s distinctive Ladies clearly shows. In the leech-infested rain forest of Queensland, you’ll come face to face with a cassowary—a 150-pound, man-tall, flightless bird with a helmet of bone on its head and a slashing razor-like toenail with which it (occasionally) eviscerates people—proof that Birds Are Dinosaurs. You’ll learn from hawks that Birds Are Fierce; from pigeons, how Birds Find Their Way Home; from parrots, what it me |
