My Own Biggest Fan

I can’t say much about this album. For one, I’m extremely tired at the moment, and don’t have a lot in me. Also, this album is a jazz album, and I don’t know much about talking about jazz. First off — after some research I found out that this is a reissue of a previous album that was originally called Curried Soul. The original release had a better name, and a better cover and had a recipe on it for what looks like a delicious meal. This one: crappy cover, awful name and no recipe.

What’s it sound like? Like a not-so-inspired soundtrack to a 70′s detective TV show. It’s pleasant enough, but it didn’t grab me in any special way. The cover of Sunshine Superman might be worth it for some people, or his version of Herbie Hancock’s Cantelope Island. The rest of the album is at best background music. I could be just ignorant though. I hear he won the Order of Canada for his contributions to the arts, and the song Curried Soul was the theme song to As It Happens. So, I guess to be a good Canadian, I’ll need to listen to it again soon.

Rating: 3 yawns out of 5.
