专辑介绍

by Joe Viglione

Writer James Chrispell calls Phil Seymour, the solo debut from Dwight Twilley's bandmate, &a real fine pop masterwork.& &Precious to Me& landed in the Top 25 at the beginning of 1981, and it is a snappy delight. &I Found a Love& follows in that vein, while &Love You So Much& has the pauses that made the work with the Dwight Twilley Band so much fun (this was the first of two titles written by Twilley). The lighthearted music is serious stuff crafted from the bubblegum school, but with an edge and without all the angst Nick Lowe would inject. &Baby It's You& isn't the Shirelles/Beatles song, but rather a driving, jangly statement of immediate love from Seymour. Bobby Fuller's classic &Let Her Dance,& with electric handclaps, is the perfect ending to side one and a perfect fit. The production team of Richard Podolor and engineer Bill Cooper certainly knows how to craft great records; Steppenwolf and Three Dog Night had many discs frosted with that duo's magic, and the power pop drives immediately on side two. Twilley's &Then We Go Up& works and is followed by the equally potent &Don't Blow Your Life Away,& written by guitarist Bill Pitcock, both essays providing the melody and backbeat that makes this genre so eternally delightful. There's a cool cover of the Elvis Presley/Roy Orbison plea &Trying to Get to You,& a semi-blues rendition which puts a little detour on this dance card, but has immense charm. Seymour's own &I Really Love You& flies right out of the park, another one of those classic pop tunes someone should reinvent, while guitarist Pitcock from the Dwight Twilley Band as well as some Twilley solo work, pens &Won't Finish Here,& which does finish the album in fine style. Phil Seymour from the late Phil Seymour is a classic worth hearing time and again.
