A-side is one song: „Alice’s Restaurant Massacre“ which lasts for 18:20 min. and what you hear is him (the son of Woody Guthrie) telling a story while playing all – yes all the time – the same accoustic guitar lick … sorry, but how sick is this? How far can you go? No, in fact I really like the concept. Like the 9500 people who had to listen to the „song“ at Newport and were totally exited about it. Overwhelming applause.

Folk
Dark lyrics, on first glance political, but in fact pretty ironic and intelligent. Music is multicoloured quotation-mediaeval-psychfolk with 12 or more people involved. Often based on acoustic guitar with Clarinet, saxes, oboe, doublebass, accordion, e-bass, drums, synths, trumpet a.o.

Chanson
Half of the tracks are like dramatic Jon Hassel/Peter Gabriel Worldmusic Ambient. This is really a late one of the unique artist John Martyn but for God’s sake he didn’t fuck it up in the 80ties like so many of the big rockstar collegues. So, still typical John Martyn. Ah, the other half of the tracks: „Deep Feeling“-Pop, also not bad except for one really soft Soul song which is just too Mainstream.

Chanson in an uncommon way. Sometimes huge orchestral arrangements, sometimes just acustic guitar, sometimes modern, 80s-New Wave orientated.
