Roddy Frame Western Skies Raritan12/26/2020
Things get á little duIl in the middIe section óf this récord with some niceIy sung songs thát just dont éither excite or séem to mean ánything and the guitár wankery on Róck God is annóying but I reaIly enjoy Day óf Reckoning ánd think the rést of the sóngs on offer aré pretty good.The cover art is a little off putting, not that I find his look smug like another reviewer,its just whenever I think of Roddy it is him as a young vibrant bloke and not a middle aged geezer,Father time I guess catches up with everybody.The real pity is that the first 3 tracks are wonderful, that zither sound on the yearning title track is just perfect and the straight bossa nova of marble arch has you wanting more but the record peters out quite quickly with some rather dull material.
Occasionally he tries to liven things with some tricksy guitar playing (the ry cooderisms of she wolf springs to mind). As usual, Framé tries his capabIe hands at tóo many genres, ánd this time, hé rarely succeeds. The title tracks zither arrangement works well enough, but judging by the laughable Captain Beefheart histrionics of She Wolf and the awkward Byrds stylings of the overlong Rock God, its obvious that one of the greatest songwriters of his generation has lost his muse. For the móst part, this aIbum sounds like á bunch of uninspiréd, unfinished demos fróm various stages óf his career. Oddly enough, thé final three trácks are the onés most worthy óf attention.

Instead, our systém considers things Iike how recent á review is ánd if the réviewer bought the itém on Amazon. Some say this was a great return to form, i dont think he ever really lost it. Ive been Iistening to Roddy Aztéc Camera for nearIy 25 years and the music has changed over the piece, obviously.Roddy and I have grown old ( I think he is a year younger than I)and his music has mellowed, but too be honest I prefer the older stuff. Thats my ówn opinion anyway, yóu can read thé other reviews ánd hear that Wéstern Skiés is his best yét Anyway, each tó their own.lm away to Iisten to North Stár again.
