AllMusic Review by   [-]

Though an essential songwriter/singer behind the scenes in the music and film industry, John Batdorfdeserves equal time on the radio and Home Again provides solid evidence for that argument. A reunion of sorts with '70s partner Mark Rodney, the title track is a remake of a Batdorf tune from their second release as a duo, 1972's eponymous Batdorf & Rodney. As with Ian HunterBuzzy Linhart, the group Epitaph, and a notable list of other veteran artists, the music they are generating in the new millennium is in many ways superior to their previous efforts, and better than what radio and what's left of the industry is attempting to force on the masses. Mark Rodney writes the liner notes here inside this elegant package with over a dozen photo images of the players and he mentions the sound of Crosby, Stills & Nash. Yes, the title track could fit nicely into that trio's repertoire, though Batdorf takes this disc through his own personal journey. "Me and You" is one of seven co-writes with Michael McLean and it would be a nugget on any Paul McCartney album. Vocally sounding like a cross between Jon Anderson from Yes and Seals & Crofts (both of them; and yes, Batdorf & Rodney have been compared to that duo in the past), Batdorf generates a striking album with help from his colleagues, a master craftsman delivering the goods without resting on past laurels or going through the motions. Though there is nothing groundbreaking here, that isn't the objective; it is refreshing to hear an artist do what he does best and do it without concern for Top 40 airplay or commercial success, though this album is oh-so-very radio-friendly. Drifting through folk/pop and the blues of "Solitude," Batdorfcommunicates his ideas superbly, backing vocals cascading in a spacious production that is minimal yet still big. "I Don't Always Win" evokes that minstrel-in-the-gallery-feel Ian Anderson spoke of, the voices matching the guitar sounds with amazing effect. The ten titles clock in at under 45 minutes but it is great playing and well-considered production that make this a very special project. The final track, "Where Are You Now?," is an old Batdorf & Rodney number which previously only showed up on their Live at McCabes release. Perhaps collaborations with Jonathan Richman and other quirky originals could take this music to an even different path and audience in the future but for right now, the sounds on Home Again are warm, eloquent and very enjoyable.

Concert Calendar July / August 2015

Ian Lloyd, Left Bank and Stories

The Left Banke & Ian Lloyd's Stories

Saturday July 25, 2015
8:00pm
$35 public / $30 members
http://www.natickarts.org/performance/left-banke

The Left Banke produced two of the most enduring and bittersweet songs of the 1960s - "Walk Away Renee" and "Pretty Ballerina" - which have been covered by everyone from Rickie Lee Jones to Alice Cooper.

However, the group's impact goes far beyond its placement on the Billboard Top 20 charts. The band's pioneering use of classical string arrangements and lush vocal harmonies helped usher in the Baroque Pop movement, soon championed by The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Love, and Procol Harum. Interest in Left Banke's now-classic catalogue has continued to soar in the intervening decades, with the band's out-of-print albums trading for over $150 online, until Sundazed Records reissued

Double Bill: The Kenny Selcer Band and The Lisa Martin Band
@The Amazing Things Arts Center, 160 Hollis Street, Framingham, MA 01701

Are you enjoying the summer? I hope so. It's not over yet - not even close. Lots more to enjoy.
But here's something you can put in your calendar that is happening towards the end of it.

I put this double bill together because I thought music fans(you) would like it very much.
My band is pretty good. I'd love to have you hear what I'm doing these days with the band.
And, if you haven't heard Lisa Martin, you must. You'll love her. Descriptions below. She's from western, MA and only gets to this area every once in a while.

Saturday, August 29th, 8pm. We each play an hour with a short intermission. 
Advanced Tickets, click here: tickets

"Kenny Selcer Band plays a sizzling blend of Americana, folk, rock, roots, reggae, and everything in between, that will get your toes tappin', your head noddin' up and down, your mouth singin', your brain thinkin' and maybe even get you dancin' in the aisles!"
    The Band: Kenny Selcer, Liz Buchanan, Steve Gilligan and Phil Punch
