Talking Heads - True Stories CD
"Remain In Light" and "Stop Making Sense" are what most 1980s music fans probably remember about Talking Heads . But "True Stories" from 1986 is arguably the band's most accessible album. In the film of the same name, the songs are performed by the characters shown in it. So this CD isn't a soundtrack, but instead Talking Heads' versions of the film's songs. There are 10 tracks, including two versions of the hit single "Wild Wild Life". Throughout the album the band's playing is tight and disciplined, and good use is made of guitars, electronic percussion and synthesisers. "Love For Sale" is a rousing declaration of intent, and "Puzzlin' Evidence" immediately follows: it conveys a sense of urgency and there is excellent gospel-type backing. "Hey Now" and "Papa Legba" introduce chanting and African rhythms, and might - just might - have inspired Paul Simon's "Graceland", which was released in the same year. "Radio Head" and "Dream Operator" are both good songs which could easily have been released as singles, and "People Like Us" is thoughtful, homely and the nearest Talking Heads ever got to a country and western song. (Normally I can't stand C&W, but I'll make an exception here!) "City of Dreams" is slower and reflective, but like the other tracks is also optimistic and humane. The film was made in Texas, as was much of this album. The music successfully complements David Byrne's observations of smalltown America, and the overall effect is benign and enjoyable. The band's members are in total harmony with each other and clearly enjoyed making this album. Not everyone will like "True Stories" of course, but even people who normally consider Talking Heads to be outlandish, or even downright weird, might like this record. It makes absolutely no concessions to mid-80s overproduction and schmaltz, and as such it sounds far less dated than so many other albums from that decade. Try it: you might be pleasantly surprised.Read full review
