The
Associates –
The
Radio Sessions Volume Two 1984-1985
CD Compilation, UK, 2003
Strange Fruit
Recorded 'live' for the radio,
here we have the great combination of a fantastic song with the glory
that is Billy Mackenzie's voice. “The Crying Game” is one of my
all-time favorite records by Dave Berry, and here, Billy makes it the
ultimate torch song. It seems effortless on his part, but its not
only his voice, but he's also a fantastic songwriter, as well as a
man of great taste, with respect to his choice of cover songs to
sing. In some ways, and it is picking apples from the oranges, this
collection may be the best of the two radio session series. Included
is a rare recording of “Kites,” a song I know nothing about.
Same as “Country Boy” (not on this album) – where does he find
these songs?
