COVER STORY
JohnnyKemp
Johnny Kemp is flying high with the single “Just Got Paid” from his second
Columbia solo album, Secrets Of Flying. The swaggering pop-hip hop fusion
was co-produced by Kemp and Teddy Riley, who worked the same soul-man
vocals and tough street beat combination for Keith Sweat with “I Want Her” and
Guy with “Groove Me." After a long run at the top of the black contemporary
charts, the single and album are finally breaking pop. Kemp is celebrating with
a live band tour which has him sharing stages with such stars as Full Force,
E.U., Salt-N-Pepa, and others.
The Bahamian-born Kemp began his career in Nassau churches where he
performed with his brothers in a family gospel group. Listen to “Just Got Paid”
and you can hear the melismatic gospel roots that made him a star in the
Bahamas by age 13. ‘Little Johnny’ sang everything from Michael Jackson to
Tom Jones with popular islands cover band the Mighty Makers before he cameto the United States with Fox Fire. Here he played club dates, made demos, and
acquired the studio experience with Change and the BBQ Band that lead to his
self-titled 1986 Columbia debut, produced by Kashif.
Kashif is back as executive producer for Secrets Of Flying, on which Kempshares writing and production credits cn five out of seven tracks, including the
“Urban Times Medley” which combines and updates two Marvin Gaye songs
that are just as relevant now as they were in 1 971 ,“Inner City Blues (Make Me
Want To Holler)” and “Mercy Mercy Mercy Me (Ecology).” As that medley show,
the sound of the album is a modernization of old school soul and funk styles,
particularly the live band feel of the swinging “Dancin' With Myself.”
Soaring to the top of the charts, Johnny Kemp really has figured out the
secrets of flying.

NMS 9 Finishes WithA Bang
By Joe Levy
NEW YORK ~ The ninth annual
new music seminar drew to its tradi-
tional close on Wednesday, July 20. Apacked house of more than 1,000
turned out for the artist panel, whichincluded among its stars DaveStewart of the Eurhythmies, HankBallard, Lemmy of Motorhead,Henry Rollins, Andy Summers, JoyceSimms, Nanci Griffith, and Karen
Finley.
NMS 9 was a huge music industry
convention. Over 7,000 peopleshowed up four days of panels (more
than 70 to chose from) and six nights
of music (over 3(X) bands in 29 loca-
tions). If anything, the New MusicSeminar is too much of a success.
Overcrowding at some of the NewNights Shows pointed to the lack of
mid-size to large venues available in
New York City, but like the overflow
crowds at the A&R and producers
panels (each held in the Marriott's
ballroom space) it also pointed to the
incredible expansion of the seminar.
Something will have to be done to ac-
comodate such growth, and NMS ex-
ecutive director Tom Silverman has
already mentioned hopes of renting
more space at the Marriott next year.
The artist panel, the traditional
final event of the seminar and alwaysthe subject of considerable interest
and amusement, ended with somebitterness and acrimony from the
audience directed at the moderator.
New York nightclub promoterRudolf. He angered the crowd with
his flip introductions and sarcastic
questions for each artist, asking DaveStewart for "the whole dish," mis-
takenly referring to the Illiterati
Press, which publishes books byHenry RoUins, as the Illiterate Press,
and jokingly asking Leonard Cohenfor, "the real story of what happenedbetween you and Janis Joplin at the
Chelsea Hotel in 1948." Cohen wonthe audience's approval when he
responded in a deep baritone that the
question was insulting. He went onto call the relationship between busi-
ness and music "a dangerousmarriage" that can interfere with the
"sacramental relationship betweenaudience and performer." Panelist
Lemmy then led the charge against
Rudolf, insisting the audience mikebe turned on so that audience mem-bers could ask their own questions.
But the atmosphere of what AndySummers called "frivolity andcynicism" could not be dismissed.
Silverman saw the unsatisfying
nature of the concluding panel as
evidence that more serious issues
were being discussed at the seminar
than ever before; "Some of the com.-
ments that went down actually hurt
and made me feel bad, and that wasthe first time I can remember that. Noone can call it boring. It wasn't a
happy ending. People are basically
more and more concerned with the
realities of life and what we can doabout them, at least that was broughtout in panels more this year. I went to
a couple of panels I had to leave be-
cause I couldn't handle it anymore.Like the sex and rock panel. It wasreally abrassive and painful."
Reflecting on the growth of the
seminar, Silverman said NMS's gross
has increased l0%-20%, but he ex-
pects net profits to go down or disap-
pear totally. "We may actually lose
money this year," he said, citing the
expansion ofNMS offices and staff as
increased expenses.

only - with no present plans to com-
mercially issue any vinyl configuration
of the single. "Special talents deserve
special attention in the marketplace,"
said Hale Milgrim, Elektra Senior VPof Marketing. "Tracy Chapman is that
kind of talent. We expect this unique
release plan to benefit the artist as weUas the cassette single and CD3 for-
mats." Note: both configurations in-
clude a previously unreleased live ver-
sion of "Behind The Wall," the stim-
ning a capella track from Chapman's
debut LP. . .Enough said.
ALL THE NEWS THAT'S PRINTTO FIT - This past week. Coast To Coast
received a batch of advance cassettes so
impressive tlrat we felt we had to take
up some space to teU you about some of
'em. If these are any indication, it ap-
pears that this summer wiU be a one of
the most miisicaUy memorable in some
time. Among the tapes we received this
past week were (...let the hype begin):
• Various Artists - No. 1 With A Bul-
let (Cypress/A&M) - Intriguing collec-
tion of songs that reached #1 chart
i status presented in their original demoi form. Most are performed by the
songwriters themselves, with the ex-
eption of Marti Jones' sptmky early
ndition of Liam Sternberg's "Walk
An Egyptian." In stores August 2.
avid Lindley - Very Greasy
) Skillfully produced by
Linda Ronstadt, Very Greasy features
seven Lindley originals and three well
chosen covers (most notably the ska
version Warren Zevon's "Werewolves
Of London"). In stores August 16.
THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADEOF... - David Lindley's anticipated VeryGreasy LP will be serviced on August 16.
'
Pictured in the studio (I to r) are: DavidLindley; engineer Ed Cherney; andproducer Linda Ronstadt.
• Broken Homes - Straight Line I
Through Time (MCA) - The Homes' ^
long-awaited second outing should
finally establish these local L.A. boys
with a nationwide audience. Produc-
tion by Michael Doman and Tony Berg
is first rate. First single up wiU be "The
Howling." In stores August 22.
• John Hiatt - Slow Turning (A&M) -
More brilliance (...you expected less?)
from the pop maestro. The musical
line-up is similar to last year's Bring The
Family, with John Doe replacing Nick
Lowe on bass. Our pick hit is the
raucous "Paper Thin." In stores August
30.
• Voice Of The Beehive - Let It Bee
(London/PolyGram) - U.K. sensations
wiU hit American shores soon with
their debut waxing. Gal singers with a
post-pimk/advanced pop mentality.
Should do extremely weU. In stores
September 6.
...AU this and we didn't even men-tion the groovy upcoming releases
from Sam PhtUips (Virgin), DwightYoakam (Reprise), Ivan Neville (Mer-
cury/PolyGram), The Wagoneers(A&M), Robert Cray (Hightone/Poly-
Gram) or Michelle Shocked (Mer-cury/PolyGram).
Until next week...

Good deeds - New York
Qty downtown artists and
scenemakers have joined
together to record a charity
version of the Petula Clark song
"Downtown" with aU proceeds being
donated to two AIDS r^earch and care
organizations, the American Founda-
tion For Aids Research and the Gay
Men's Health Crisis. Virgin has just is-
sued the 12-indi, produced by Bemie
WorreU and featuring the talents of
Jerry Harison (Talking Heads) on
guitar, Sara Lee (ex-Gang Of Four) on
bass, Steve Jordan on drums, and a
vocal chorus that includes Willy De-
ViUe, Karen Finley, Bernard Fowler,
Dianne Brill, and Michael Musto. Asampler album of unsigned d-town
talent. Downtown N.Y.C., will follow in
mid-August.
Charitable works continue with a
Columbia release honoring WoodyGuthrie and Leadbelly. Folkways: AVision Shared wiU be out the last week in
August and features the likes of Bob
Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Arlo
Guthrie, Brian Wilson, John Cougar
Mellencamp, U2, Willie Nelson, Em-
mylou Harris, Pete Seeger, Doc Wat-

bone performing the songs of these
two American musical greats. All
revenues will go to the Smithsonian In-

shown backstage with Hot Tunafjefferson

They played blues and several numbers off
Toro's LP Funk Jibaro (AntillesINew
Directions).
TWIST AGAIN (AND AGAIN,AND AGAIN) - I'm a little tired of rap
novelty songs, but the radio, MTV, andthe public don't seem to be. The Fat
Boys and Chubby Checker are twist-
ing away, and Salt-N-Pepa join the
trend with a remake of "Twist AndShout" on their new Next Plateau
album A Salt With A Deadly Pepa. (As in
'assault with a deadly pepper'. ..get it?)
The Fat Boys have made a video with b
boy icon and horror film star Freddy
Krueger in support of their next single,
"Are You Ready For Freddy," the
theme song for Nightmare On L
Street, Part 4. Then comes their vers
of "Louie Louie." Watchout

Will DowningBy Lee Jeske
NEW YORK - 'Tm very market-
ing conscious," says Will Downing."I understand that this business is
supposed to make money. That's
what record companies are there for.
I wish that I could lie to you and tell
you they're there to satisfy each
artist's individual wants and needs,
but that's not what it's about. It's
about making music and makingmoney."The above quote is not what one
expects to hear from a new artist,
from a 24-year-old whose first
album. Will Downing, has just been
released from Island Records. It's the
kind of thing one expects to hear
from, oh, a record company exec.
'Tve always wanted to be a record
company exec," says the Brooklyn
native. 'T've always wanted to be an
a&r guy. So I was basically groomedfor that. And the vocal thing just
kind of was always there, so I took
advantage of it."
Man bites dog: the artist who longs
to be the a&r man.Will Downing's curriculum vitae
goes something like this: the music
program at Erasumus High School in
Brooklyn, lead vocals on a slew of
dance hits (with N.V., the GoonSquad, Pilot...), background vocals
on a slew of sessions (Jennifer
Holiday, Nona Hendryx, Billy
Ocean...), a steady stream of work for
a smooth bass-baritone.
"Sometimes it's nice, being a
sideman and doing a lot of back-
ground vocals, but when you start
getting content doing that, well, youhave a problem."
So Will took his rich voice, took his
level-headed approach to the musicbusiness, and took his divergent
musical interests and, in the com-pany of co-producers Brian Jackson
and Arthur Baker, came up with Will
Downing, an album that covers plen-
ty of stylistic turf, including a danceversion of John Coltrane's "A LoveSupreme," a smash hit in England(it'll be the next single in the States,
following the current "In MyDreams").
"It's all my musical loves, youknow. I love jazz, I love R&B and I
love dance music. But there seems to
be limited sales for each one. Jazz
does not sell, R&B does not sell
mainstream, as far as crossover is
concerned, and the lifespan of a
dance record is three weeks-to-a-
month. So I figure if you can put all
those elements in together, then youmight have something there. That's
what I decided to do and it seems to
work to my benefit."
And what does Will Downing, the
aspiring a&r man, think the chances
are of of Will Downing, the artist,
being a huge success?
"Island is just starting its Black
Music division. There are only four
Black Music artists on the label:
myself. Miles Jaye, Millie Scott andBy All Means. And a couple of rap
acts. And we're all new artists. So
it's kind of hard to try and break us
into the mainstream; we don't have a
heU of a lot of money and the com-pany is looking at you with oneeyebrow up: 'Well is this going to
work?' So it's a learning experience.
"But we have a commitment from
the record company and they have a
commitment from me that I'm going
to keep delivering what I consider to
be good music, and we're going to
work together on it, and we're going
to make it happen."

The Primitives (
By Joe Williams
1988 is unlikely to present us with
a more engaging record than Lovely,
the debut album by the Primitives,
on RCA. Combining the girl-group
sweetness of the Phil Spector era
with the rewed-up hookiness of the
Buzzcocks, the pop-culture smarts of
Blondie and the subversive sonics of
the Jesus and Mary Chain, the record
has already spawned a number-onehit in the band's native England with
an irresistable confection called
"Crash."
The voice that propels the Primi-
tives belongs to Tracey Tracey, the
impossibly tiny platinum blondewho's the latest darling of the British
music press (and one of the few in
recent years to deserve that honor).
On the hottest day of the summer,Tracey met with a succession of
reporters at the Los Angeles offices of
RCA dressed in a heavy black
matador's outfit that could only be
worn by the coolest of cucumbers.
For Tracey Tracey, the music biz is nosweat.
"We just sort of work things out in
the studio and things come out that
way they do. I think our music worksbecause we're still learning. It's basic
three chords, happy tunes. A lot of
bands have tried to do this same kind
of music, but when we get in the
studio, something magic happens."
The artful innocence of the albumis a slight departure from the band's
original intentions. Tracey came onboard three years ago, after returning
from a trip to Austrialia and spotting
an ad on the bulletin board of a
library. Guitarist Paul Court, bassist
Steve Dullaghan and drummer Peter
Tweedy were seeking a male singer
with such influences as the Velvet
Underground and Iggy Pop. Tracey
phoned the band, who had already
been through a number of malesingers, and after an audition the
band liked her enough to changetheir sound to suit her voice.
The album, which was recorded
piecemeal over two years, went top
five in the U.K. and the Primitives
saw themselves smiling up from the
covers of the British music tabloids.
1Tracey knows that sudden fame can
be precarious, but she isn't worrmkabout either a fickle public or creative
bankruptcy. 'Tt is inevitable that the
British press builds up a band andthen they say they've had enou^.?.'
But what's important is the peopl^and how they respond to the music;
j
^
I think we're going to keep growii*^^
and getting b^er, as we learn moreA lot of bands have been going for‘t'.en
years and are still trying to churn out
what they did when they fifs^
started. For the next album, we've
found what we think is the rigriT'^
Primitives sound for now, and
going to be more directed."
A imified direction might be a d! s-
appointment to those who relished <
the playful juxtaposition of folk pop^^girl-group sound s and such stray ele-
ments as sitar psychedelia on Lovefyf-^
but whatever direction the baitd,/ J
takes, their remarkable song-sense -j
and fawning fan empire - should Ji
remain intact. I
'T'm having great fun," Tracey aikr
mits as she mentally surveys her
world. 'Tve been able to do so ma^i^-
things that Tve always wanted to do^^Coming to America has always been
a dream ofmine, and we'll be touri^
here towards the end of the year. Tne
response to the record here has bee©:
so enthusiastic and so gratifying." ,
Even from behind her shades, Trac ew -V
has grown wide-eyed. "I really uo ,
enjoy what Tm doing. I wouldn't’>
j
anything else. But there's more
could do. We've had a number c
record in England. Now Td like
have a number one record
America. That would be a brillii
achievement."

he says. "I think that people are tired
of being given everything with asugar-coating."
Rhythm Corps looks at CommonGround as a good starting place for
them. "We have a lot of things aheadof us, and there is a lot of time for us
to go where were going to go. Right
now, the thing that's most important
to Rhythm Corps, are the songs. Thething we grew up with, when we hadour little transistor radios pressed to
our ears, was Motown; Holland,Dozier and Holland. These weresongwriters who were writing in-
credible music in two minutes andforty eight seconds. The music got
into your head and it made your day,
it made you cry, it made you laugh, it
gave you energy. Songs have so
much power in them. They're like lit-
tle fireballs. " said Persh.
Rhythm Corps' debut album Com-mon Ground has songs-a-plenty. Thekind of songs that will definitely 'get
into your head.' At the present time
the band is rehearsing eyery day andputting together their live show.Rhythm Corps should be hitting the
road before the summer is out.

LOS ANGELES - 'The first thing

e"5\phasize his point by taking the lis-

u^teavals of modern times. Thespngs range from the anti-war
~| ffatalism of "Father's Footsteps" to
nflthi; call-to-arms of the first single,^ '^Common Ground," and the clear-
observations of "Solidarity."

Apro) and listen to his guitar playing
and check him out against someonelike Pete Townshend of The Who, I
think you'll find that our roots really
do lie a little bit more in that direc-
tion. I think that you'll find that that
is where we cut our teeth," said
Persh.
Rhythm Corps, spurred on bymanager Randy Sosin, made the big
move to Los Angeles in 1987. Oncethe band relocated, they had to con-
tend with the chore of winning over
a new audience, as well as a new crop
of critics. "When we first started in
Detroit we got some comparisons to
U2, but after we were on the scene for
a while they stopped. People realized
that Rhythm Corps was a band in-
and-unto themselves. Now that weare breaking nationally, I see it's like
having to go back to high school
again. People are hitting us once
again with the U2 comparisons that
we haven't heard in more than four
years.
'T don't really mind the U2 com-parisons, just so long as it is under-
stood that, age-wise, these guys are
our peers, not our mentors. When U2
was first breaking their stuff, wewere already on the scene and play-
ing songs from our first EP," said
Persh.
One of the first songs RhythmCorps wrote back in 1981 was"Solidarity," a song dealing with the
political climate of modern-dayPoland. Persh said that lyrically
Rhythm Corps has always been this
politically-minded. "I'm optimistic,"

The Past Twelve
MonthsLONDON - ...On the home front it has
been a year of continued and sustained
Newport Folk Fest Scores Stunning Trium|: h*
success for established artists of all
labels; while others such as MarkWynter, Ronnie Carroll, Joe Brown,
Kenny Lynch, Billy Fury, etc., have ex-
perience unprecedented chart success,
growing in stature and enhancing their
reputations. The year has also brought
forth a prodigious crop of new talent
notably Susan Maughan with “Bobby’s
Girl” (Philips); Mike Berry “Don’t YouThink It’s Time” (HMV); BUlie Davis
“TeU Him” (Decca), and ex-members of
the Shadows Jet Harris and TonnyMeehan took on a new lease of life with
“Diamonds” and “Scarlett O’Hara” -
both on Decca. However, as the year
1961/62 wUl be remembered for the suc-
cessful upsurge of traditional jazz so the
year 1962/63 will go down in history as
the year of new groups and new sounds.
This started to emerge towards the end of
1962 sparked off by the meteoric ascent
of The Tornadoes and “Telstar.” Thetrend really got under way in February
this year when The Beatles marched
south from Liverpool to storm the charts
with two successive hits, “Please Please
Me” and “From Me To You” on Par-
lophone. Within a month another Nor-
tliem group, Gerry and the Pacemakers,
took EMI to the No. 1 slot again with two
more hghtning hits, “How Do You DoIt” and “I Like It” Next came BiUy J.
Kramer and the Dakotas straight to No.
1 with “Do You WantTo Know a Secret”
on Parlophone, with Freddie and the
Dreamers (Columbia) and the Searchers
(Pye) in hot pursuit By the end of June
six British groups were in the Top Ten
and enjoying unparalleled success. Atthe same time British copyrights ac-
counted for six out of the Top Ten num-bers in the Best Selling sheet music lists.
Later in July the percentage was even
higher with 15 British numbers in the
Top Thirty. Although British artistes and
material continue to dominate the charts,
Americans are stiU much in evidence and
many of then have had an impressive
year...
It’s Dion DIMuci NowNEW YORK - Dion, the star songster,
has added his surname - DiMuci - to his
future billings, including dates on disks,
TV, concerts, flicks, supper clubs, etc.
All future contracts calling for the
performer’s services, it was announced,
will stipulate that he be billed as such.
NEWPORT, R.I. - Dramatic proof of
the current folk music renaissance was
the recendy concluded 3 -day festival
held in and around Freebody Park, this
city. The folkfest, which consisted of
four main concerts and a series of morn-
ing and afternoon workshops and panels,
even broke attendance records of its
more-firmly entrenched “big sister”
Jazz Festival...
...The acclaimed hero of the fete was a
22-year-old writer-singer-guitarist-har-
monica player from Hibbing, Minn,
called Bob Dylan. The artist, whorecords for Columbia and who is the
writer of the current Peter, Paul andMary
hit, “Blov/in’ in the Wind,” completely
captured the imagination of the audience
and performers alike with his hard-driv-
ing talkin’ blues style and biting, topical
songs of protest. Looking something
like a displaced Bowery Boy, the sandy-
haired, lanky youth, who wore the same
pair of bluejeans and mustard-stained
workshirt for most of the Festival, r^nks
as the logical successor to Woodyj
Guthrie as the foUc-poet laureate of the

KARLA BONOFFNew World - Gold Castle (171 014-1)
- Producer Mark GoldenbergIt's been far too long since we've
heard this impeccable voice, this stir-
ring honesty and unadorned feeling.
Karla Bonoff is one of the finest
singer/songwriters around, andhere her lovely ballads and mid-
tempo rockers are treated to clean,
catchy arrangments and rock-sold
production. 'Tell Me Why" could be
an answer to her long-ago "I Can't
Hold On," and features nice guitar
work by Peter Freimpton. This is a
welcome, surprising return, one that
gives sincerity a good name.
^THE STYLE COUNCILConfessions of a Pop Group

Paul Weller, Mick Talbot
Paul Weller, one-time AngryYoung man of the Jam, continues to
explore the boundaries of funk-soul-
^jazz with his way<ool combo the
Style Council. This effort is some--^ thing of a concept album, with side
one a funky celebration, and side two’ IT melancholy, largely instrumental
meditation called 'The Piano Paint-^ ings." The album runs the gamut of
'60s r&b styles, from slappy bass
^^funk to creamy lounge balladry.
OUT OF THE BOX OUT OF
-THE MARSHALL TUCKER BAND - Still Moldin' On - Mercury (832 794-
1) - Producer: Larry Butler
- 4^ The leading proponents of melodic Southern rock, mid-'70s style, return
with their first collection in years, leaning toward bluesy or mid-tempo num-""bers with a country feel. The plaintive title tune sounds like a winner.
5jf4UNDU BOYS - True Jit - Mango (MLPS 9812) - Producer: Robin MUlarOne of the shining lights of African pop, Zimbabwe's Bhundu Boys make
jjl, bid for stateside stardom with this festive new LP. The "jit" sound is play-
fully percussive, with quick-pickin' guitars that sound a bit like mandolins.
v-CARL ANDERSON - An Act of Love - PolyGram (835 693-1) - Producers:
various
Few singers come close to Anderson's strong, passionate vocals, and on this
album he's aided by alternately sweet and l^uncy times. The single is the‘ ~ soulful ballad 'Tailing All Over Again."
SHARON O'NEILL - Danced in the Fire - Polydor (833 557-1) - Producers:
various
At the axis of Patti Smith and Pat Benatar, Blondie and Quarterflash, sits
Sharon O'Neill, a long-time sensation Down Under, whose slightly synthy
rock is elevated by sharp lyrical insights. 'Thysical Favours" is a sassy hit.
MASTERS OF CEREMONY - Dynamite - 4th & Broadway (B'Way 4010) -
Producer Maxwell DixonCrafty mixes, bottomless beats, strong, soulful vocals and elements of reg-
gae and r&b make Masters of Ceremony something special in the rap arena.
Few crews can touch this diversity.
IDENTITY-Mewfity- Mango (MLPS 4806) - Producer Dennis ThompsonFormerly known as Irie, Identity goes several steps beyond reggae on this
richly textured and eminently pleasing LP. The message of uplift and unity is
augmented by spirited horns, deft percussion and imaginative keyboards.

SuaveBy Bob Long and Brad Buchsbaum
LOS ANGELES - Suave is morethan just another young man makingmusic, he is an artist with a vision. Hemakes streetwise and funky, yet
romantic and danceable music, andhis debut album, I'm Your Playmate
(Capitol), has even garnered a num-ber one hit single.
Music is in the 22-year-old's genes.
His father was a member of GQ,which had a hit in the late seventies
with "Disco Nights." And although
Suave never took music lessons, he
was always trying out things on his
father's keyboards.
Suave moved from Boston back to
his native Los Angeles just before his
friends New Edition did. "Whenthey moved out here we werereunited and we started playing ball
again together. They began to talk
about the music business and I
started to get more interested in it. I
went home one day and told myfather that I wanted to start singing
and it was at the same time that NewEdition was looking for a new mem-ber. I thought about joining a group
situation, but I knew how myfather's group broke up, and howmany vocal groups get popular andthen fall apart: I didn't want to get
into a situation like that. So I chose to
go the solo route."
Suave and his cousin DwayneOmarr collaborated on a few songs
and they began to shop them around.
"I started to put the demos together
and the president of Capitol Records
heard them. I wound up getting a ten
album deal, I got myown production
company and my first number one
record under my belt."
That first number one single wasthe remake of The Temptations' "MyGirl." Suave's reason for choosing to
record the song reveals his heartfelt
side. "I dedicated 'My Girl' to myuncle. When I was little my father
was always gone on the road, so myuncle raised me. He used to tell me
stories about listening to 'My Girl'
when he was in Vietnam, and hewould play that song over and over
again when I was growing up. Whenhe passed away last year... the first
thing I thought about was the song'My Girl,' and they even played it at
his funeral."
The current music scene leaves
something to be desired for Suave.
'Today it seems that people are just
taking a beat and throwing words ontop of it. That is why with a lot ofmysongs we try to put a meaning into
them. I admire people like TeddyPendergrass and Marvin Gaye and I
listen to so much of their music, that
I try to rework those same ideas andfeelings into my music."
Suave says that he is trying to fill a
void. He is trying to bring some emo-tion and thoughtfulness back into
music. "My goal is to become the
next Teddy or Marvin. In fact, at all
of our shows we hand out roses."
As for his immediate future. Suavesaid, "We're planning a tour, but
we're waiting for the second single
('Shake Your Body') to bust open."
And judging by the tremendousreaction that Suave's first single, "MyGirl," received, it should take no time
at all to find Suave handing out roses
at one of what is sure to be another of
his successful shows.
All In The FamilyFor the first time in her career,
Natalie Cole has recorded one of
her father's (the late Nat "King"
Cole) tunes: "When I Fall In Love"is the fourth single from her EMI-Manhattan Records gold album.Everlasting. The song serves as a
touching tribute to her father.
Natalie recently participated in
the Irving Berlin lOOth Birthday
Celebration at Carnegie Hall in
New York City, which aired over
CBS-TV late last month. Addition-
ally, she performed, in London, at
Wembley Stadium for the gala con-
cert for Nelson Mandela's 70th
birthday.

ALBUM REVIEW ALBUM REVIEWDEAN DILLON - Slick Nickel -
Capitol (Cl-48920) - Producer: R.L.
Scruggs
Dean Dillon gives special thanks to
the pickers on this album, for "bringing
the songs to life." And it is a picker's
album diroughouL There aren't a widerange of musical styles here - just goodoT coimtry songs tihat are w^-writtenand professionally performed. Themost moving cut has to be the self-
penned "Father, Son and Holy Ghost."
The first single released, "The NewNever Wore Off My Sweet Baby", is
buildingmomentum on the Top 1 00. Lis-
ten for these prime cuts as well: "Hey
Heart", "You Sure Got This OT RedneckFeehn' Blue", and "Still GotA Crush OnYou".
KIM CARNES - View From The House- MCA (42200) - Producers: J. Bowen-K. CarnesKim Carnes' voice is one of the most
distinctive voices among female singers
today. It seems ironical then, that her
styles ofmusic are not as discerning. Just
when you hear a song tike "Bette Davis
Eyes," and peg her as an accomplished
pop artist, she comes out with a refresh-
in^y earthy approach to her music. Col-
laborating on five of the ten cuts, Carnesdefinitley shines on her own material
such as "Brass & Batons", "Blood Fromthe BandiT', and "Just To Spend Tonight
With You". Her sovmd is more acoustic
RIM CARa/EJ
and "non-synth" - as she describes
She succeeds, again! f

- RCA (8633-7-R) - Uncle Artie-
Lawyer’s Daughter-BMI-ASCAP -
R. Foster-B. Lloyd - Producers: B.
Lloyd-R. Foster
The dynamic duo is back again
with a catchy time that they wrote
and produced themselves. This is
perhaps the most likable of the
songs released so far from the self-
titled LP Foster and LLoyd, all of
whom have been characterized bythat easy-going, rockabilly style. Al-
though the two seem a little leery of
the female in question here, there's
no doubt that their talents are on the
right track. Be prepared to do somemean toe tappin' because this is in-
fectiously country!
LEE DILLARD - I Won't FaU In
Love (If I Can't Win) (3:19) - GBS(GBS 769) - TiUis Tunes/BMI - K.
Ryle - Producer. J. SolomonThis tune offers a new perspec-
tive on cheatin' songs. It's sung by a
man who tells, from a woman'spoint of view, what it feels like to be
'hit on' by a married person. It's set
to a traditional ballad that is high-
lighted by pleasantly clear produc-
tion. Four stars to the man who per-
forms it so convincingly - Lee Dil-
lard, as well as to the songwriter,
Kurt Ryle.

Kenny's back and his debut release for Reprise is also the official themesong for the 1988 U.S. Gymnastics Team. It's a majestic and inspirational
tune and Rogers carries it like a pro.
SWEETHEARTS OF THE RODEO - Blue To The Bone (2:54) - Columbia(38-07985A) - Cross Keys-Tree Group-Jack And Bill-McBec/ASCAP - M.Garvin-B. Jones - Producer: S. Buckingham
This hound dog bluesy time will have listeners wailing across the
country. You can't help but harmonize along with the sisters on this
melancholy melody - another roimd-up for the rodeo girls!
STELLAPARTON- Legs (2:46) - Airborne (ABS-100()4) - Old Friends/BMI- S. Parton-B. Teague-S. Milete-L.E. White - Producer: Unlisted
Stella's lighthearted look at men's views on women's legs might seem a
bit, well, lightheaded, at first. But on subsequent encounters one finds that
Stella pokes plenty of fun both genders' quirks. With that Parton spunkand those spirited vocals, she should interest quite a few country radio DJ's
out there.
KENNY LAYNE - Anybody Out There (3:04) - Cannery (CA-00600) -
Songwriters Ink/BMI - G. Perkins - Producers: J. State ~This ballad is magnified by a big production sound and highlighted
wonderfully by the resonant vocals of Layne. Here, he is determined to., ^eventually find a woman he can truly cherish, and the end result is a time-
j
less love song.

J
1901-A) - J. Lindsay/PRO - Lindsay - Producers: R. HewesThe John Lindsay Band sure seems to know just what it takes to produce
a radio-ready product- because that's exactlywhat they've done here. This
mid-tempo tune showcases Lindsay's apt singing ability as well as th“^
musicanship of a talented band.
CANDEE LAND - Cowboy (3:02) - BSW (51888) - Adventure/ASCAP
J. Foster-P. Hartford - Producers: W. Tyler-F. WiUsonCandee Land's name might conjure up dreams of sugar 'n' spice, but thiy
girl's got the sweets here on a lonesome-sounding tune. It recils the Qineera in some ways - but with an 80's twist. We bet there isn 't a cowboy^"
around who wouldn't like to hear this song.

NASHVILL E NOTE-ABLES
Southern Pacific...Energy
And Their Own Sound
uring the wild and
D hectic days of FanFair in Nashville, I
was fortunate
enough to get some time with
Stu Cook and John McFee, two
members of the popular group
Southern Pacific. Even under
the hurried schedule and condi-
tions of the week-long ex-
travaganza, these two were very
personable and seeminglygrateful for the interview time.
Southern Pacific had been on
the road "a lot," and they had
taken the opportunity to com-
bine personal appearances at
Fan Fair and a recording session
for Warner Brothers. To give
you an idea of Southern Pacific's
work schedule, they hadopened shows for Waylon Jen-
nings, The Oak Ridge Boys,
Reba McEntire, Hank Williams,
Jr., The Judds, Dan Seals, Lee
Greenwood and Ronnie Milsap.
In addition, they had been
doing some headlining of their
own. Stu Cook and John McFee
agreed..."Those superstars have
helped us out a lot. They have
given us opening jobs whenthey didn't have to. There are a
lot of great people in this
country music business!"
At the time of the interview.
Southern Pacific had a top 20
single on the charts titled "Mid-
night Highway". However, Stu
and John seemed more intent
about discussing their newalbum, Zuma. They assured me
that they shared the enthusiasm of
the other three members of the
group: David Jenkins, KurtHowell, and ex-"Doobie"...
Keith Knudsen.
Cook commented, "We have
spent the last year and a half
gathering material and record-
ing the album. And, Southern
Pacific was fortunate to get to
co-produce the album with JimEd Norman of WarnerBrothers!"
"There has been a change in
our music, but people still knowour sound," added McFee."Adding David Jenkins has
been a real plus for the group.
The Zuma album is a variety of
energy and up tempo. There are
some directional shifts, but they
are changes within our own'sound'. Huey Lewis helped us
out by playing harmonica on a
couple of the tracks."
Stu Cook kept the enthusiasm
going. "Instead of having just
one main vocalist, we have a
new three-way vocal attack.
This gives us a lot more variety
and capabilities. It has allowed
us to broaden our sound. So,
you can see that we have not
only been working hard on the
album. ..We have also beenworking hard on solidifying our
sound!"
The two ended our conversa-
tion with, "Be sure to say that
we want to thank our manage-
ment, Warner Brothers, and the
greatest fan club in the world!"
The hard work has surely paid
off for Southern Pacific! The
Zuma album has showed excep-
tional early acceptance signs.
Southern Pacific has not only
broadened and solidified their
sound. They ahve broadened
and solidified their appeal and,
at the same time, gained
thousands of new and prospec-
tive members to that "greatest
fan club in the world!"

COUNTRYRISING STARS
GEORGE HUG:George Hug comes from Weesen,
Switzerland, and he's known as his
nation's number one countrysinger. Along with his exception^
talent, his dedication and hardwork have, no doubt, contributed to
his earrung that title. For examplehis schedule brought him to Nash-ville to record a new album. JimCase was producing the sessions,
and he brought George by the of-
fice. With a "catching" smile,
George told of his recent schedule...
George flew to Nashville on Sim-
day, recorded until Friday, when heflew back to New York. He caught
a flight to Switzerland on Saturday,
spent 15 minutes at his home, drove
300 miles to Germany for a three
hour show before 2,500 fans. After
the show, he returned home, stayed
for six hours, performed at a Sun-
day show for 5,000 fans, went homeand took care of some bookkeep-ing...and, then, flew back to Atlanta
on Monday, en route to returning to
Nashville to finish the session!!
George's new album will bereleased in Switzerland on K-Tel
Records. The album session wascut at Hilltop Studios in Nashville,
and there are plans for a single
release in the States toward the endof the year.
George Hug is a fine
"traditional" coimtry singer. Hesays that European country fans
love the country music style of the
50's, 60's and early 70's in the U.S...
and, Johnny Cash is the superstar
among these listeners and fans.
George wants to conquer all of
the European country fans with his
new album, by keeping the
traditionalists happy. Next year,
George Hug plans on recording his
second album in Nashville, and hehopes to be able to entertain in the
U.S. for a period of time. After lis-
tening to a few cuts from his ses-
sion, I predict George Hug will
cerainly find receptive audiences
among our country music fans.

INDIE LP REVIEWTHE WESTERN UNION BAND -
Sue-Del (S-18121) - Producer: Un-listed
The Western Union Band is a five-
member, California-based groupthat has been tearing up the WestCoast with their rollicking brand of
country and western. The albumcarries a live feel about it and their
musical style is akin to the early
Alabama sound. Their debut single
"Bed Of Roses," checked in at #73on the Cash Box Top 100 Singles
Chart. There are several other
singles that also have hit potential
such as "Rising Cost Of LovingYou," a tongue-in-cheek ditty about
an expensive girlfriend, "CimarronMoon," the tale of a young boytaken with an older woman and"L.A. Freeway," which should
move anyone on down the road.
There are two instrumentals that
showcase theband's musical talents
as well~ "Orange Blossom Special,"
and "William Tell Overture". Over-all, a professionally producedproduct with extraordinarymusicianship!

RAPPIN’ WITH THE WRITERS:NANCYMONTGOMERY:
Nancy Montgomery mentioned Warminster, Pennsylvania as being her hometown. However, she was quick to add, “I can
live anywhere and be happy!” I would be quick to add even more...There are a good many people, in Nashville, happy to
have Nancy in her present location.
This pretty and perky young lady has quickly evolved into one of country music’s finest songwriters. She began writing
just six short years ago, and her success has been phenomenal I
“I never came here as a writer,” said Nancy. “I came as a singer. Nobody would hire me as a singer, but everyone kept
asking me if I wrote songs. So, one time, I said ‘yes’! I went home and wrote three songs that night, because they wanted to
hear them the next day. The songs weren’t any good, but I realized that Nashville was a songwriting town!
Two years later, Nancy got her first recorded song. Not a bad beginning either.. .Janie Frickie cut “Sleeping With Your
Memory”.. .an album title cut! Nancy has had many more since then. Presentiy, she writes for Little Big Town Music in Nash-
ville. She has had other cuts by such greats as Eddy Raven, The Kendalls, Ricky Skaggs and Sharon White, Waylon Jen-
nings, Reba McEntire, The McCarters, The Whites and Lacy J. Dalton.
Nancy shared her songwriting ideas...“You must make an emotional committment to the song’s subject matter. I write
from the inside-out. When you write exactly what you’re feeling, you will write something with substance. I’m aware of the
fact that a song must fit into the ‘structure’ of the industry. But, I never consider the ‘commercial’ when considering song
themes. I write with the idea of pleasing myself!”
That may be true, but Nancy Montgomery’s songs have pleased millions!

LEFT MY BLUES IN SANFRANCISCO - It’s not too early
to get your tickets for the 16th
annual San Francisco Blues
Festival, even if it means crawling
on your hands and knees across
the high Sierras from wherever it is
you live. The blues fest, Sept 10
and 1 1 in the Great Meadow at Fort
Mason (Marina Blvd. at Laguna),
will be a showcase for some of the
biggest names in blues, all of
whom, not coincidentally, are on
independent record labels like
Alligator, Rounder, Arhoolie and
Blind Pig. The roster includes
Johnny Copeland, Koko Taylor,
John Lee Hooker, and Lil Ed & the
Blues Imperials on Saturday the
10th, and Bobby Bland, Albert
Collins, Elvin Bishop and C.J.
Chenier on Sunday the 11th. This
is the longest ongoing blues festival
in America and an experience you
roots afficianados won’t want to
miss. If you gotta be blue, what
better place than San Francisco?

Nikolai and Peter Pankratz have
graduated from Jerry Falwell’s
Liberty University in Lynchburg,

anti-communist Christian-rock on

album, on the Pan Trax label, has
been compared to Bon Jovi and
Europe. I really can’t say, since the
copy that arrived on my desk waswarped beyond all recognition.
ROIR, the cassette-only label out
of New York, celebrates its seventh
anniversary this month with two
new releases. Lest \Ne Forget, a
live collection by the Buzzcocks,

version of the Positive album by
reggae giants Black Uhuru. If you
don’t know the ROIR catalog, you
should. It’s crammed with other-
wise-unavailable gems like a live

by the Dickies, Flipper, MC5, the
Fleshtones, the New York Dolls

Workers
What started as a psychedelic
garage-rock revival a few years ago
seems to have evolved into a kind of
motorcycle/metal aesthetic, asbands that once sported page-boys
and love-beads are now wearing
skull tattoos and hair down to there.
The Fuzztones, a New York combothat’s been at the front of the paisley-
punk hurricane, has moved to LA.formed some weird kind of alliance
with the Harley crowd, and started a
new submovement. In certain subter-
ranean haunts across L.A., the metal
thing and the psychedelic thing are
hopelessly blurred, and if the music
doesn’t have the refreshing in-
nocence and underlying spirituality of
five years ago, it has a lot more vigor
and theatricality.
The Miracle Workers have beencontenders in the psych-grungesweepstakes since the release of
their godhead Inside Out album on
Voxx two years ago. Easily the
coolest thing out of Portland since
Paul Revere and the Raiders, they
had the requisite hooks, distortion
pedals and snotty vocals to resurrect
the spirit of the Sunset Strip circa
1967. Yet their’s was an urgent
sound, informed by punk, and in the
subsequent years they have har-
dened their energy, grown their hair
and moved to the mecca of motor-
cycle metal. They’re still pschedelic,
god bless ’em, but there’s room in
their show for fuzzed-out guitar solos
and plenty of hair-swinging. As that
style goes, they are deft and ener-
getic, and they don’t indulge in the
sexist posturing that mars a lot of
new-era metal. On July 22 at the
Scream in Hollywood, they rocked
fiercely for a crowd that did its best to
stay aloof, and even the campyflourish of a dry-ice machine couldn’t
overcome the fact that the showdidn’t start until 1:30 in the morning
and the hipsters in the audience just
didn’t feel like working that hard.
They wouldn't even dance to “GoNow,” a howlingly assertive tune
from the Inside Out album
.
Like a lot of the bands doing this
kind of aggravated flashback music
(the Blacklight Chameleons, the Fuz-
ztones, the Royal Nonesuch), the
Miracle Workers are huge in Europe,
where the ’60s thing is taken very
seriously, but here in America the
major labels don’t know they exist.
(Their Overdose album is available
on import from the L.S.D. label.) But
if the Miracle Workers continue to
draw such sizeable crowds anddeliver such spirited performances,
eventually the Hollywood hipsters
will be forced to dance, and the
record companies will come running.

PRECIOUS METAL - That Kind OfGirl- Chameleon (D1 74753)The time is right for Precious
Metal, an all-girl pop-metal band from
Southern California. Metal of this sort
is all over the radio, but no all-chick
combo has scored the chart successof a Bon Jovi or Def Leppard. Pre-
cious Metal has a shot at both the
male metal market and the legion of
girl metal wanna-be’s, and it doesn’t
hurt that they are competent players,
good songwriters and, urn, attractive.
There sound is a cagey hybrid of
metal sludge and girl-group har-
monic sweetness, like the Runawaysat their best or the kind of music the
GoGos would make if they were from
the wrong side of the tracks and just
starting out today. There’s not atouch of balladry here, no Heart-in-
spired quietude, just straight-ahead,
anthemic rockers with knife-edged
guitars, piercing vocals, solid produc-
tion, quality tough-and-tender girl
point-of-view lyrics, and a touch of
humor. The sing-along qualities are
evident on songs like “Stand Up andShout,” while the pop element shines
in “Passion’s Pain.” There’s every
reason to believe that Precious Metal
will be slinking around on the covers
of your favorite rock magazineswithin a matter of months.

WALTER SALAS-HUMARALagartija - Record Collect/In-
dependent Label Alliance (RC 51)
Salas-Humara is the guitarist andvisionary of the much-acclaimedroots/sincerity band the Silos. On his
first solo project, he returns to his first
instrument, the drums, and shares
the rest of the musical duties with
various other Silos and friends. Onsome of the tracks, his engaginly
plain vocals are merely backed by
plaintive, folky guitar, and on songssuch as “September” his style is
reminiscent of Neil Young. Otherreference points are the Meat Pup-pets, Chuck Berry and, not surpris-
ingly, the Silos. Salas-Humararecruited a handful of unknownsaongwriters for the project, sothere’s considerable diversity, but all
of the material is roughly in a folk-
strum-roots vein and delivered in an
artful sorrt of quietude. Giving texture
and resonance to simplicity is quite a
trick, but Salas-Humara has pulled it
off nicely.

WALTER “WOLFMAN”WASHINGTON - Out of the Dark-Rounder (2068)
They’ve done it again. RounderRecords nas released yet another
high-quality recording under the
Modern New Orleans Masters Series
umbrella. The latest, Walter“Wolfman” Washington’s Out of the
Dark, is simply one of the best
“blues” albums to hit the shelves in
recent memory. Like much of the
music to come out of the Crescent
City, it would be foolish to try andpigeonhole this work as just jazz or
R&B or funk or blues. In fact, the
most accurate description would in-
corporate all of the above. TheWolfman is a veritable musical food
processor. Through living, breathing,
eating, listening and partying in NewOrleans for the last foity years or so,
he has managed to come up with a
guitar-voice mixture that is as raw
and as passionate as the blues can
get. Like Walter says, “...you gotta
live the blues before you can play
em.Backing up Washington this time
around are The Roadmasters. Thesecats lay down a groove so thick, that
only the mean, clean guitar solos and
the gravelly, soulful vocals of the
Wolfman are able to cut through. Theband consists of Tom Fitzpatrick on
tenor saxophone. Jack Cruz on bass,
and drummer Wilbert "Junkyard
Dog” Arnold. Arnold is particularly in-
spiring on the Johnny “Guitar” Wat-
son cover, “You Can Stay But TheNoise Must Go.” Contributing to the
overall sound is up-and-comingpianist Jon “King” Cleary. He, along
with the rest of the band, gets to showoff his chops on the funky instrumen-
tal, “On the Prowl.” Rounding out the
lineup are The Windfall Horns. Theyshine particularly bright on the Texasbig band blues number, “Ain’t ThatLoving You.”
Unlike his first major release, WoHTracks (which is considered one of
the top blues albums of 1987), the
new LP allows Walter to stretch andto develop his ideas. And in terms of
confidence and leadership, theWolfman has truly come into his own.With the release of Out of the Dark,
he can new undoubtedly be included
in two prestigious groups. First, he
joins Snooks Eaglin and Earl King as
one of New Orleans’ all-time guitar
greats. And secondly, he can"officially” be included along with
Stevie Ray Vaughn and Robert Cray
as one of the premier torch-bearers
of the blues guitar. However, whenyou hear Walter play there’s some-thing extra-special that you don’t al-
ways hear with Vaughn and Cray;
that is, the natural extension of his
inner being. You’ll never hear the
same solo twice from the Wolfman‘cause it’s about not just a feel, but
the feel of that moment. But don’t
take my word on it. Go get a hold of
the album and see for yourself whyOut of the Dark will put the Wolfmanin the spotlight.

THE BEATNIGS - The Beatnigs -
Alternative Tentacies (Virus 65)
Just a glance at the instruments
played on this record suggestssomething subversive - industrial
percussion, circular saw, oil drum,
tape edits - and the intent behind the
music is even more revolutionary
than the instrumentation. SanFrancisco’s Beatnigs are angry, andthey want you to know it. Race rela
tions is the overriding theme here -
black nationalism, white paranoia,
government suppression of civil
liberties - and the record comes with
an “aural instruction manual” and
plenty of pictures of Malcolm X to
make the whole thing as clear as
possible.
This letter bomb is delivered inside
music that is abrasive and percus-
sive, with a foundation in funk and acagey sense of montage. It’s another
one of those “information overload”
records, with a lot of found sounds,
scratches, samples and disjointed
keyboard textures tossed into the

mix. The effect is surreal, like a
bloody nightmare rendition of
American cultural history. But under-
neath the pointed clutter is a big beat
and a sardonic sense of humor. TheBeatnigs are supposed to be multi-
media virtuosos, but even just onplain old vinyl, the effect is full, the
message is powerful and the call to
arms is loud and clear.
The Alternative Tentacles label
continues to function as a clearing
house for bands who want nothing
less than radical social upheaval,
and if nothing else they should be
lauded for their courage. The willing-
ness to make your own rules is the
true spirit of America and of the inde-
pendent record industry.

STEVE JORDAN - The Return of El
Parche Rounder (6019)
Every few years, a new “roots” in-
strument becomes a fad in the rock
community. With Los Lobos, TheyMight Be Giants, John Cougar Mel-
lencamp, Tom Waits and the Talking
Heads bringing the accordion out of
the polka parlor and into the hip con-
cert venues. Rounder saw fit to
gather this Steve Jordan material,
which originally appeared on the
Freddie and Joey record labels be-
tween 1976 and 1984.
This is Jordan’s 34th album. Sowho’s Steve Jordan? His real first
name is Estaban, and in south Texashe’s considered ‘Ihe Jimi Hendrix of
the accordion,” which is to say that
he’s an unparalleled soloist and a
pioneer in technical experimentation.
His material has a Tex-Mex feel, a
blend of conjunto, salsa and blues
styles that is irresistably peppy andcharacterized by dynamic keying.
Even if the listener doesn’t speakSpanish, the humor in Jordan’s vocal
delivery peeks through, as in his
cover of “Yakity Yak.” But whatmakes Jordan such an important
figure in the history of the accordion
is his use of phase shifters and other
electronic devices to alter the soundinto something almost psychedelic.
In all fairness, the casual listener, un-
familiar with the parameters of the
Istandard accordion sound, may not
even notice, especially since it’s like-
that he or she will be swept up in
dance-party spirit that suffuses
hole album.

Head Of David - Dust Bowl Blast
First (BFFP18)If you trapped Grand Funk Rail-
road in the desert and asked them to
build an automotive plant out of noth-
ing but sand and scrap metal, this is
what the whole thing might soundlike. British heavy metal industrialists
Head Of David are the sort of ’80s
music machine that takes as rawmaterials concepts like ‘music,’
‘songs,’ and ‘pleasure,’ then applies
uncommon and unthought of
FORCE to twist and grind the stuff
with the standard cogs (bass, guitar,
drums, voice) until it all has a tor-
turous beauty. As with other anti-
song (or noise, or industrial, or
power-thud, or whatever) bands.Head Of David supplies a roar that
tries to be simultaneously the ex-
perience and transcendence of
urban alienation - or maybe it’s just
that I’ve been riding the subway too
much lately.
Dust Bowl is a sc’eeching gob of arecord. Produced by Steve Albini,
progressive social theorist and lead
throat of the now defunct Big Black,
it has a underlying, undefined, scareyrumble that feedback, guitar splurt,
and even the occasional vocal comerising out of to fight for your right to
higher conciousness. Nasty anddour. Dust Bowl f\ts into a tradition of
brain pan melting heavy music that
runs from Blue Cheer to Voivod.
Rhythm is lost to a plodding, clanging
stomp, meaning is buried in medium,and the walls come tumbling down.The simple fact that Head Of David
seems best when their material is
closest to real songs (“Dog Day Sun-rise,” “Bugged,” “Tequila”) indicates
the band’s redefinition of musical
concepts isn’t quite as radically suc-
cessful as one might hope. Less at-
mospheric scarifying and more riffs
are in order next time out. As if
anyone cared.

postmark “Athens, Ga.” initially kept
me from sampling this platter, but I’m
glad I finally did. Max Able is a hard
performer to pin down, and his roots
in Atlanta belie the nature of the
music. His brand of guitar pop has its
origin in the British urban tradition,
and sure enough. Able paid some of
his dues in the U.K. The material is
mostly mid-tempo strum, with some-thing of a ’60s feel, offset by hiccup-
py Southern vocals that bear a pass-
ing resemblance to Van Morrison’s.
Able is best when he avoids the self-
consciously passionate intonation
and delivers his material in a
straightforward manner, like the lilt-
ing “Sittin’ in This Towne.” The jang-
ly slice-of-life “Victoria Street” is
another winner, as is “Something
Else I Ain’t Got,” a sarcastic ditty that
echoes the Kinks. Able tries a couple
of extended conceits here, and the
atmospheric, near-psychedelic“Pearl Harbor Day” proves that he’s
got some tricks up his sleeve.
Whether it’s Southern or not. I’m
looking forward to hearing more from
Max Able. (Sky Records, 11460 Al-

ACAPELLA FELLA - Bobby McFerrin
jtqrrped by New York’s Z-IQQ recently to
plug his "Don't 'Worry, Be Happy" single.

ASSING ON -David Cher-tok, the noted jazz film
presenter, collector and his-
torian, died of cancer July 21
(j at his New York home. He was 66.
David Chertok was an important
figure in jazz. He was a stock-
*ni' footage librarian and a jazz film col-
- loftor when he saw the potential in^ turning his hobby into a profession.
\rt J^zz began aroimd the same time as
&) film and, through the years, muchQf it had been documented on film
but in imusual circumstances - off-
-hand musical segments in Hol-lywood movies, occasionalMevision appearances, bits of
newsreel footage, soundies (those
early videos of the '30s and '40s),
etc.. By collecting the footage,. 'tihertok became one of a num.ber of
Ijazz film collectors, but Chertok
'^presented the films, turned the films
i>into shows. In doing so, he kept Bil-
j
lie Holiday, Louis Armstrong,Lester Young, and many, manyother important jazz figures alive
l^and touring. A popular figure onthe jazz festival circuit, both here
>-?.nd abroad, Chertok was an en-
thusiast - his greatest pleasure was*ih watching an audience see, say,
John Coltrane or Charlie Parker for
the first time. The only thing that
^ave him more pleasure was whenI a musician would personally thank
niIhim for making a hero, a mentor,
><y|eal.
Chertok's New York apartment
was always open to musicians or
hither members of the jazz com-i- munity. He'd sit you down andie ‘gleely allow you to pillage his ar-
1^I
chives, all 600 hours of it - anything
/ j-you'd like to see. Woody Allen
:-i wanted to view some Sidney Be-
ly Cchet footage once and tried to ar-
Sange a midtown screening. Non-
[ysense, said Chertok, and Allen came
Q jjxp to the apartment and stayed past
Yj
the Bechet films, viewing George
n.vlewis and other traditional
/ I
clarinetists. When a jazz musician
^.‘hdied, David Chertok would put
together a reel of film celebrating
his life, to be shown at the memori^service; when jazz film was needed
for any reason whatsoever, David
Chertok was there.
Chertok was part of his films - if
you wanted to show a reel of his
footage, you got him too. He wasadamant about this - he didn't wantthe film just shown, he wanted it
presented and explained. His witty
and informative introductions andthe joy he got in programming a 20-
minute reel of film were very im-
portant to the success of his shows.
In recent years, Chertok's collection
found other uses - the Museum of
Broadcasting mounted an exhibit of
'7azz on Television" based on his
films; he joined with Burrill Crohnto develop feature-length videos
based on the films {Trumpet Kings,
Piano Legends, and The Coltrane
Legacy were completed); andSweden's Sonet Records put out a
series of albums based on musicfrom his soundies.
When he first got sick two years
ago, David despaired about the
possibility of his films ending up in
a library or institute somewhere.He half-heartedly fielded offers for
the collection, but he very muchwanted the films circulating, to be
presented as he presented them for
more than 15 years. When his son
finally agreed to carry on the shows,David was thrilled. Michael Cher-
tok is now touring with the films.
David Chertok was a good friend
of mine. There will be a memorialservice for him in New York in Sep-
tember. I wonder if somewhere,somebody has film of Chertok him-self introducing his fUms, bubblingover with enthusiasm for the musicthat he loved so much and, over the
past 15 or 20 years, of which he be-
came such an important part.
FANTASY CAMP - Fantasy,
which reissues its enormous jazz
catlogue in dozens of different ways(boxed sets, original reprints,
twofers, etc.), has come up with yet
another approach: compilations.
Part of its Original Jazz Classics
line, the budget series that reissues
original reprints, the first set dips
into five Prestige artists, offering
sort of "best ofs" their output for
that label. Out now (budget LPsand CDs) as "The PrestigeCollection" are Gene AmmonsGreatest Hits Vol. 1, The Sixties, CedarWalton Plays Cedar Walton,Coleman Hawkins' In A MellowTone, Sonny Stitt's Soul Classics, andMose Allison's Greatest Hits. By anextraordinary coincidence, Atlantic
has just reissued The Best ofMose Al-
lison as a 20-track CD, along with
the fantastic Mingus at Antibes, oneof the great Charles Mingus albums.
Both Allison packages are excellent
(and non-repetitive), by the way,
but while Atlantic added eight
tracks to the original album they
kept the original front cover andliner notes. &rt of confusing.

COIN MACHINE
CHICAGO - Timeless as the gameitself, American Shuffleboard Com-pany has achieved an enviable posi-
tion in being one of the handful of
manufacturers who continue to
produce the tabletop game common-ly known as shuffleboard. Beginning
in the '50s with coin machineoperator acceptance of the shuf-
fleboard as a great money makinglocation piece, it didn't take long
before there were some 80 companiesturning out shuffleboards. Althoughthe trends, tastes and markets mightchange, the shuffleboard has estab-
lished itself as an exceptional recrea-
tional table sport because of the com-petitive features of the game for the
players as well as for its great spec-
tator appeal. You can enter any num-ber of recreation areas or pub/barlocations throughout the world andsee a shuffleboard in action. It's the
perfect compliment to the pool table
and jukebox.
ASC's sales chief Sol Lipkin is responsible for
opening up many new markets for the shuf-
fleboard (YMCA's, nursing homes, college
campuses, military bases, homes for the hand-
icapped, etc.); and is also very actively in-
volved in Lhe tournament program, which is
growing h/ leaps and bounds!
American Shuffleboard Company,originally established as AmericanCabinet & Billiard Company, has suc-
ceeded in the specialty equipmentfield with the production ofthe shuf-
fleboard and the billiard table. Theproduction of these pieces, in various
sizes and models, for commercialand home use has indeed supplied
countless hours of entertainment for
millions of patrons.
American Shuffleboard President
Mary Cusano, who has been the
guiding spirit for the company since
her husband's death in 1963, stated,
"The company has succeeded bymaintaining the time honored tradi-
tion of quality, excellence and a dedi-
I cated spirit" initially established by
I
her late husband, Paul Cusano. MaryCusano also believes in giving credit
where credit is due. 'The excellent
performance of management andand the employees throughout
entire plant deserve a great deal
dit for our longevity in this
competitive business. Wervived through the good
American Shuffleboard: ACompany For All Seasons
By Ann and Don Droselle
times and the bad times," stated
Mary. With a track record of some six
decades, the traditions established
certainly have been well embedded.
ASC's assistant general manager Dick Del-
fino (who also served as our tour guide for this
feature) devotes a lot of energy to his respon-
sibilities in marketing and selectivity with
regard to the numerous trade conventions in
which American Shuffleboard Co. par-
ticipates.
During our very interesting con-
versation with Mary we learned that
the Cusano family was involved in|
the woodworking and cabinetry!
crafts in Italy prior to their migrating
to South America. Paul Cusano wasborn in Buenos Aires. He then lived
in Madison, Connecticut and fromthere, in the early '40s, settled in Jer-
sey City, NJ with his parents. It wasthere that Mary and Paul met. (Her
father was a tailor there). Since their
marriage in 1943, Mary became ac-
tively involved in the business affairs
of the company and has continued to
maintain an active role at AmericanShuffleboard. She said she enjoys
playing shuffleboard at home for
relaxation and also enjoys occasional
games with family and Wends to stir
up the competitive fires.
Upon entering the American Shuf-
fleboard facilities at 210 Paterson
Plank Road in Union City, New Jer-
sey, among the first things you're apt
to see are the beautiful strips of WestVirginia Maple being carefully
maneuvered under the spotting light
into the saw for accurate slicing into
the appropriate strips. Assistant
general manager Richard "Dick"Delfino (who has been with the com-pany for 25 years) clued us in on the
various stages in the making of the
shuffleboard and billiard tables. Aswe stepped across the floors (which
are made of hardwood brick, to save
the workers' feet) we saw the process
required in fitting together the knot-
less and spotless strips that must gothrough a special gluing treatment,
that takes two weeks to dry. As wecontinued our tour of the facilities it
became readily apparent to us that
the company does a superb job of
putting out superior quality
products in a warm, friendly atmos-
phere. The employees are skilled
craftsmen, many of them with long
tenures at American Shuffleboard,
who are completely dedicated to the
company.Among the key members of the
team is Nicholas "Nick" Melone,general manager, who's been with
the company for 54 years. As wetalked he touched on the earlier days
at American Shuffleboard when,with the repeal of prohibition, the
company went into designing andbuilding bars. In 1938 the shuf-
fleboard was laimched, adding the
billiard table line in 1961.
Twenty-eight year veteran Sol Lip-
kin, sales chief, exuded enthusiasm
as he enumerated the countless out-
lets throughout the world where the
shuffleboard, as a multi-playergame, has provided hours of enter-
tainment and challenge on military
bases, oil rigs, nursing homes, along
VvTth the multitude of traditional
locations where the game is such a
popular attraction. Tournament in-
terest has been growing steadily not
only in the U S. but overseas as well,
and Sol is very much involved in this
aspect.
Not to be overlooked is Leo Stelter,
service manager and engineer. Withhis expertise in design and computertechnology he has helped to enhanceAmerican Shuffleboard's position in
the marketplace, with a nine player
scoreboard and, in 1949, with his coin
mechanism which served to under-
score the game as an operator piece.
Richard Delfino in very much in-
volved in marketing and also with
some six to seven industry functions
on both the national and internatiq^-
al levels, including such shows as the
AMOA, the Atlanta Super Show, Ths
,
Sporting Goods Mfg. Association
and the Billiard Congress in Loui&=^-
ville. He told us that, ^er a lull in the
market, there has been a decided
resurgence of interest in shuffleboard
among men and women, as well.
"We will not renege on our 'doj^\
home' commitment with respect toj
the Mom and Pop concepts," he to^tus, "but we will continue to seeknev^markets, without losing touch. That's
the basic philosophy at American/Shuffleboard." ^
My wife and I, after returning
New York, did indeed test our shuf- i
fleboard skills, in a friendly, compett^lfive manner. I won't say who won.But, unquestionably, American Shi:^-'
'
fleboard Company is a winner for
any competitively minded in-
dividual. A company for all seasoris!
briefly, during our conversation, on the licens-
ing and manufacturing agreement with
Australia that was recently concluded by
American Shuffleboard Co., to further em-
phasize the company's international commit-
ment.^

AROUND THE ROUTEt the Atari Games Corp.
Ashareholders meeting
this past June, MasayaNakamura, president
of Namco Limited in Japan,
resigned from the Atari Gamesboard of directors, after serving
as chairman for the last three
years. The resignation came as a
result of Namco's “acquisition
of a major interest in a com-petitor," according to Atari. (Weunderstand that Namco recent-
ly acquired some interest in
Data East). The remaining boardof directors is composed of rep-
resentatives from Warner Com-munications, Inc. (a majorshareholder of Atari Games)and representatives from the
management of Atari Games.Hide Nakajima continues as
president of Atari Games.However, with the above men-tioned change, Namco Limited
and Masaya Nakamura will no
longer have direct involvement
in the day-to-day operation of
Atari Games, but is still a major
shareholder; and the business
relationship between the twocompanies will remain un-
changed.
Startin' to happen. Learned
from Exidy exec Virginia Kauf-
fman that the firm's new “WhoDunit," which has just been onthe market for a short time, is
shaping up quite well in the
earnings department. Early col-
lection reports have been most
encouraging. The new piece is
available in both kit and dedi-
cated versions. As Virginia has-
tened to add, response to this
latest entry along with con-
tinuous requests for such pre-
vious models as “Cheyenne,"
"Crossbow," "Combat" and"Crack Shot," serve to em-phasize that “ops are getting to
know our Exidy gun system,
and what it can do!"
