T-Bone BurnettCustomer Review: In 1986, when this Import Only EP was released, a dear friend (and fellow Bruce Cockburn Fan) told me that T-Bone had finally gone too far. "This is junk. I don't know why he is on the Demon label. Maybe, it's because this experimental garbage sounds demonic." After listening to a little, having spent time in radio, I realized the problem. I corrected the pitch from 33 to 45 RPM and my friend's face turned an almost purple shade of red. If you have the Vinyl EP, note this is a 12" 45 RPM record. Past that oddity, there's little more than "Amnesia & Jealousy: Oh Lana" to suggest this hastily recorded hodgepodge of six songs. My wife's tired of me using the cleverly titled by Bono/Burnett "Having A Wonderful Time, Wish You Were Her" line on my postcards when away from home. (With a great title like that as well as help from Bono, it seems it wouldn't seemingly drag at 33&1/3rd RPM even when you play it correctly. It does.) This EP is a hard find on CD as it was released in a small pressing on Demon in the UK. Completists: go for it. Everyone else, get the real Warner Brothers "Trap Door" or Warner's stunning "Proof Through The Night." Equally amazing are: The Criminal Under My Own Hat, The Talking Animals, J. Henry Burnett & The B52 Band With The Fabulous Skylarks, Truth Decay, The Acoustic Self Titled 1986 Dot release and T-Bone's lead in the supergroup "The Alpha Band" as chronicled on Edsel's "Interviews" CD. Everyone Else: Wait for the T-Bone Box Set for "Amnesia & Jealousy: Oh Lana" and buy the aforementioned T-Bone Burnett recordings while you can still find them.
