Still On Our Feet
Used - Vinyl - PD 5049
1973 Original With Promo Sticker On The VG Cover. “Randy Burns' Last Album Is His Best Since His Days On ESP-Disk, A Fine Slab Of Country-Rock Occasionally Comparable To Michael Nesmith's Early-'70s Work. There's A Certain Sense Of Fatalism Peeking Through Some Of The Songs, Suggesting That His Retirement From The Recording Industry Wasn't Exactly Forced Upon Him. The Manic Bluegrass-Tinged Opener, "Radio Song," Is A Flat-Out Dismissal Of The Medium, Effectively Admitting Defeat At The Hands Of The Commercial Marketplace, And The Closing "Seventeen Years On The River" Feels Like A Farewell. In Between, However, Burns And His Band, Featuring Longtime Cohort Matt Kastner On Guitar And Newer Recruit David Tweedy On Keyboards, Play With Good Humor, Intelligence, And Surprising Fleetness; For An Album Recorded In A Time And Genre That Were The Epitome Of Mellowness, Still On Our Feet Is A Nimble, Sprightly, And Satisfying Listen. No One Will Ever Mistake Randy Burns & The Sky Dog Band For The Ramones, But Those Who Think That '70s Country-Rock Was Too Quaalude-Dependent To Rock Should Have A Listen To Songs Like "Maryann." Burns' Good-To-Great Songs Predominate, But The Album's Highlights Include Tweedy's Two Songwriting Contributions, The Poco-Like "Waverly Road" And "Pick The Saddest Songs," And An A Cappella Version Of The Old Folk Standard "Darcy Farrow."” All Music Guide – Stewart Mason
