Darryl Read & Ray Manzarek- FRESHLY DUG- CD- 1999- Morpheus Production/Ozit Records- 5033531005126- 650 grn
In this collaboration with the British poet Darryl Read, Ray Manzarek's music and playing possibly surpasses his best previous work, both solo and with The Doors, and his lesser-known band Nite City. Which is rather a lot to say, but then this music is amazing. the former Door's keyboard style will surely get a feast on this largely improvised affair, with Darryl Read delivering his own Beat/Ancient styled imagery to Manzarek's electric and acoustic pianos as the mood suits them. The comparisons seem apt on "Man O' Jazz," a tribute to New Orleans' music and lifestyle, or the supernatural doings chronicled at "The Magic Tavern," where Manzarek's grand piano sounds truly thunderous. It's not hard to imagine Morrison's ghost rolling on the floor during the more intense pieces, like "Tales From The Underground Kings" or "The High Bright Sun's grim snapshot of a dead man lying in the road. Manzarek's playing, as always, is spry and intelligent. He knows exactly when to pull out all the stops and when to lay back. To apply Doors analogies, set's rollicking boogie wouldn't have sounded out of place on Morrison Hotel, while the sparse electric piano of "Azure Skies" could have fit comfortably on Strange Days. Read — whose own history includes associations with Killing Floor, Zoot Money, and T.Rex — does a good job of varying his delivery to suit the mood. For all the title's clever destroy-all-conventions puns, this effort is crisp and disciplined. Mainstream shoppers won't understand, but fans of the Doors and Stooges' more esoteric moments should feel right at home. Poet, provocateur, pinup, and punk forerunner - British drummer/guitarist Darryl Read has packed all these roles into four decades of music, film, and TV work. Read won his first notice at 14 with an award for his film Daylight Robbery. He began chasing the rock & roll dream in 1968 as a drummer for the Crayon Angels, a psychedelic punk group managed by pirate DJ Emperor Rosko. In 1969, Read and guitarist Jesse Hector formed Crushed Butler, a thunderous power trio that spent two grueling years chasing a record deal (and memorably panned as "three ugly, heavy musicians, playing music to match"). The band is now seen as a progenitor of punk; its recordings have been reissued as Uncrushed (1998). Read's Rock & Roll dreams went on hold after the group's 1971 demise, but he landed on his feet with a job at Track Records. He then won a part that allowed him to combine acting with music - guitarist Keith Richards in the play Let the Good Stones Roll, which opened at Scotland's Edinburgh Festival. Read followed with another role in Bastard Angel, a play based loosely on the Kinks. When the British music scene proved unreceptive, Read shifted priorities to Germany and the U.S., where he's divided most of his time since the 1980s. He's worked with a dizzying array of musicians, including former T. Rex drummer Bill Legend and late percussionist Mickey Finn, which led to the Walking In Shadows (1995) and Gods 'N' Angels (1996) EPs. Read forged another significant relationship with Third World War's Terry Stamp, with whom he collaborated on two gothic punk-leaning albums, Book Of The Dead (1990) and Beat Existentialist (1991). As the '90s ended, Read expanded his multimedia profile with Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek, who'd guested on Beat Existentialist. The pair collaborated on FRESHLY DUG (1999), which mated Read's poetry to Manzarek's salutary keyboard style. So afraid what we have in FRESHLY DUG is a flawed gem. It's some of the best keyboard work you'll ever hear, played by a true master, but you may have difficulty getting passed the vocals to properly enjoy it.
