The Clarence Greenwood Recordings





The previous album didn't do much for me. I like it, but don't listen to it much. The Clarence Greenwood (Citizen Copes real name) Recordings brings some solid memorable songs. Nite Becomes Day plods along. Yes... plods. It just has a slow chug to it. The classic minimalist sound. Keyboard, simple rhythm of drum and bass. Pablo Picasso follows up with about the same pace. Different singing style, but again very minimal. Son's Gonna Rise picks it up a bit. almost a rap in singing. It has a great hook that's easy to sing too. Sideways, slows way back down but I think is the best song off the album. Santana thought enough of it to redo it and add his signature sound. Not better, just good. Penitentiary goes back to the plodding style. I don't know why I like this, it's just got something in it. Hurricane Waters is the very first song I heard by Citizen Cope. A lot was going on for me at the time. So this brings back some smiles and means a lot to me. D'Artangan's Theme starts off slow like the others and slowly builds to a reasonable climax. Reminds me of sing alongs you might hear in a bar. Bullet and a Target adds some spice... finally. Another sing along type of song that sounds great riding around in a car. Fame goes back to the slow plodding style with a little build up.
