RED CAB TO MANHATTAN is the third album by singer/songwriter Stephen Bishop and his first for Warner Bros. Unlike his previous two albums, Careless and Bish. Like his previous albums, Bishop had some big name help on the album. Notable contributors include Eric Clapton, Phil Collins and Art Garfunkel. Originally issued in 1980, RED CAB TO MANHATTAN was singer/songwriter Stephen Bishop's fascinating follow-up to the smash debut Careless (1977) and his uneven sophomore release, Bish (1978). Bishop wrote and recorded RED CAB during his bicoastal romantic involvement with actress Karen Allen and not long before their reportedly crushing split. Listening to the album, you can hear both sides of the equation: it alternates between playful pop tunes that sound like they were authored during the relationship's happy times, characterized by a prankish, occasionally raunchy sense of humor (as in the opener, "The Big House," and the bizarre, irreverent "Sex Kittens Go To College"), and poignant selections such as "The Story Of A Boy In Love," about a distraught young man who leaps off a building to his death after a breakup. At one point [a refrain on the track "Little Moon"] Bishop even works Allen's name into the lyrics, bleating out "Karen" repeatedly. The emotionally schizoid nature of the recording is its Achilles' heel. However, if taken on a case-by-case basis, the individual songs do demonstrate much greater compositional maturity than the selections on Bish.

CD reissue of Bish's third album, originally released in 1980. Like his previous two albums, he calls upon friends for musical assistance including Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Art Garfunkel, Gary Brooker, Russ Kunkel, David Lasley, Phoebe Snow, Andy Newmark and many others. From the beginning of his career, Bishop always demonstrated a tendency to add oddball musical flourishes to conventional pop songs, but on Bish, the attempts at innovation often sounded klutzy and tacky - as when he opened "What Love Can Do" with a nutty Wizard Of Oz sound-alike chorus. The artist sustains an offbeat vibe on RED CAB as well, but here, the frequent eccentricities feel fluidly integrated into the overall song structures. This is particularly true of the outstanding title track.
