HERES A REVIEW DONE BY MOJO PHILTER FROM THE TRANSONICS
I'm crying.
How can it be that such beauty finds itself growing from chemical plants and indian casinos? How can it be that The Band is reborn in a couple guys from the cataract city? The answer is songcraft and an unfailing ear that never wastes a note but couldn't have done without any of them either. "How Can it Be" is a gorgeous song - evocative and bittersweet. With a line like "Once was enough, but you told me again, and again, and again... " it captures the hurt and bewilderment of the devastated lover who never thought she would really leave.
Son of the Sun follows this by sending "Listen Darkly", an unerring missile of Ronnettes drumbeat, directly to the Phil Spector center of my achilles heart. Ultimately it sounds like the Travelling Wilburys managed to pry Jeff Lynne's heavy hand of the control board while adding slide, string, and organ to put together a slightly darker and more grown up "symphony for the kiddies".
