CEMA, WEA, UNI Radio on Michael: 'You'reRestore Ad Dollars Innocent Id Proven Guilty'To Used CD Sellers

In a surprising turnabout,three of the four major dis-tribution companies whohave been withholding co-op dollars from retailersthat sell used CDs havedropped their advertisingboycott.

First CEMA, then WEA,and finally UM, who alongwith Sony were the targetsof a Wherehouse lawsuitcharging restraint of trade,issued statements reversingtheir controversial policy.

"We continue to be con-cerned about theunchecked growth of theused CD market and theissues it raises regardingconcerns, the cannibaliza-tion of new sales and theloss of royalties to ourartists and songwriters,"said CEMA president RussBach. Bach had been oneof the most critical voicesregarding the sale of usedCDs; in May he told GAVINhe believed that in fiveyears their sale would com-prise 20% of the industry,and in August he said in aneditorial, "...if CEMA sup-ports retailers selling usedCDs with advertising anddefective allowances, thenwe will be cutting off ourown future."

On Friday of last week,Bach softened his stance,but said, "We recognizethat there are deeply heldviews on both sides of thisissue and we would preferto resolve our differenceswith used CD sellersthrough market -based solu-tions rather than throughthe courts."

Within a week WEA andUNI announced their inten-tion to reinstate co-op dol-lars.

In response, Wherehousesaid they would considerdropping the companies

from the pending lawsuit."We need to resolve

some issues on settlement,and until those issues areresolved we aren't going tobe pulling the suit," saysWherehouse vice presidentBruce Jesse. "It will standuntil we can assess some-thing in terms of settlementon the issues that wereraised in the lawsuit andthe damages we'veincurred."

The used CD fracasbegan last fall whenWherehouse jumped intoan area of the business thatuntil then was only exploit-ed by independent retail-ers, who in some instancescount on used CDs for 50%of their income. Inresponse, distributorsbegan withholding co-opdollars beginning in April,claiming among otherthings that the sale of usedCDs is harmful to artists,who don't receive royaltieson the re -sale of theiralbums. Garth Brooks',who said stores that soldused CDs could not sell hisnew album, sparked thebiggest fire. His nice -guyimage was battered byretailers who held "Garth-be-ques" and grilled copiesof his albums.

Along with its statement,CEMA issued a list of rulesretailers have to follow tobe eligible for co-op dol-lars, including not sellingartists that, "at the time, arebeing supported by co-opfunds" and not advertisingused CDs with new CDs.

"We can operate withinthose guidelines," Jessesays.

At press time, a spokes-person for Sony offered nocomment when asked if itwould be rescinding its cur-rent policy.

Police continue to search forclues while the star, accusedof sexual molestation of a13 -year -old boy, alternatesbetween wowing crowdsand collapsing, causing fansto boo with exasperation orgather under his hotel roomto scream. A Hollywoodstarlet hovers gossamer -likenearby playing the would-be guardian angel, and thestar's baby sister, whobears a striking resem-blance to his rebuilt fea-tures, hugs him meaning-fully. Meanwhile, a tapeis discovered. A man'svoice says, "Certainthings are going to haveto come out and thosetwo are not going tohave any defenseagainst me whatsoever.It's going to be a mas-sacre if I don't getwhat I want."

As all of this is going on,the star's family holds a pressconference to say they'regetting together for the firsttime in 19 years to film atwo-hour television specialto be aired on NBC onJanuary 10, 1994. Pressedby the media, the star'smother says she loves herson very much and doesn'tbelieve what's being saidabout him.

So goes the MichaelJackson drama. The tape ispart of a conversationbetween the father of the 13 -year -old who has accusedJackson of sexual molesta-tion, and the boy's stepfa-ther. The boy's naturalfather, Jackson's privateinvesigator says, is trying toextort $20 million from thestar.

As the saga drags on,radio-and video-hassomehow stayed above thefray. Currently, Jackson's

single, "Will You Be There(Theme From Free Willy)", iscresting in the top five onthe Top 40 charts, and pro-grammers are treating himwith fairness, and the respectan artist of his stature com-mands. A short time afterthe news broke, Z100(WHTZ)-New York personal -

ity and programmerScott Shannon and MTVexecutives said they wouldnot cut Jackson's songs fromtheir playlists. Programmersaround the country agreed.

"We're in America, andhere you're innocent untilproven guilty," said DaveShuman, music director ofIsle 95 in the Virgin Islands.Shuman told GAVIN thatJackson is wildly popular inthe Virgin Islands. "Since hewas interviewed by Oprah(in February), Michael walkson air here. The day after(the first allegations), ourmorning personalities weremaking fun of it, and thephones went crazy!Listeners said, `Look-youdon't pick on him!' "

WHAJ-Bluefield, W.V.operations manager KenDietz also said "Free Willy" isstill one of the station's mostrequested records. "Wehaven't gotten any comments

on the situation one way orthe other," he said.

That Jackson is beinggiven-pardon the expres-sion-kid gloved treatment isnot surprising, says KMEL-San Francisco morning per-sonality, Renel. "We grewup with him," she said. "Wehad his pictures on ourwalls. We know he has lots

of problems, but this(molestation) is notone of him." Renelacknowledged that ifJackson were to befound guilty, radiowould have to stopplaying his records.

Shuman and Dietzagreed that if the allega-tions turned out to hetrue, they'd have to re-assess airing Jackson'smusic. Dietz said thathe's never had to makethat kind of decision."Pee Wee Herman neverhad a hit record, did he?"

Although forced by thepress to address the allega-tions during their Monday(August 30) press confer-ence, Jackson's family, repre-sented by his parents, Joeand Katherine, and his sib-lings Tito, Jermaine andRebbie, were able to outlineplans for the Jackson FamilyHonors. All family membersare expected to perform onthe show, which will bebeamed around the worldfrom the convention centerin Atlantic City. JermaineJackson, who is executiveproducer, promised thatsome of the family's famousfriends will join them onstage.

Tickets to the taping willcost anywhere from $50 to$500, and portions of theproceeds will go to variouscharities that include"Families Caring ForFamilies" and "The RobinHood Foundation."

KMEL Reunion Recalls Years as The KamelBY KENNY WARDELL

It was a radio stationknown as "the Kamel;" itslogo and mascot was a dou-ble -humped camel, and thestation-KMEL-SanFrancisco-was a power-house Album outlet from itsbeginning in 1977 to 1986,when it changed to Top 40.

Last month, about 40 for-mer KMEL staffers con-verged at a San Franciscowaterfront restaurant for a

to ask, 'Can we do this?'and have him say, 'Sure.'"

Other staffers recountedthe early days of KMEL,which hit the air with astreamlined version of pro-gressive rock and withKSAN as its target. Led byTom Donahue, a pioneer offree -form rock radio, KSANfound itself vulnerable andfragmenting musically afterDonahue's death in 1975. Inthe view of the KMEL staff,several of whom had

Among the alumniwho showed up were GenoMitchellini, now afternoonDJ at KLOS-Los Angeles;Mary Holloway, midday DJat KRQR-San Francisco,"Wild Bill" Scott, now spin-ning oldies on KYA-SanFrancisco, Rich Walcoff, asports anchor on KGO-SanFrancisco, John Evans,morning news anchor onK101 -San Francisco, DJNadine Marz (now runninga promotional merchandisecompany in SouthernCalifornia), productiondirector Frank Martin (nowdirecting films, includingthe Emmy-winning TNTminiseries, The MGM Story),and behind-the-scenestersRick Lee (VP/GM), ThomO'Hair (first PD), BobbyCole (PD/MD), Mike Brandt(GSM), and this correspon-dent, who was the station'spromotion director.

Mal Sharpe, longtimecomic and man -on -the -street interviewer who didfeatures on KMEL, attended."The Kamel," he said, wasamong his best radio expe-riences. "I liked the idea ofwalking into the GM's office

worked at KSAN, the olderstation had become "self-indulgent," "complacent"and smug.

Stung by an immediatedrop in the ratings, KSANfought back and hung onfor three years, but in 1980,its owner switched to coun-try.

"The Kamel" started witha bunch of radio outlawsgiven a format with a littlestructure and focus, but onethat left room for creativityand fun.

For one DJ, fun meant"being high pretty much allof the time," with memoriesincluding "having sex onthe studio floor one NewYear's morning." AnotherDJ, asked for a memory,recalled the time he kickeda hole in the wall "becauseI was hassled by the bosswhile on the air," whileanother remembered thePD strangling a femalenewscaster.

In its prime, KMEL scoreda 4.4 (12+) rating. Since itsown format switch, Albumstations have rarely seennumbers higher than 2.5.

Towards the end, KMEL

found itself with five directcompetitors fighting for a 2share. In one former DJ'sview, the station, like thestation it had defeated, haditself become "stale andself-indulgent."

KMEL became one of thefirst in a breed of highly -researched and consultedrock stations. The corporateworld had grabbed the

"Kamel's" reins. The "Beastof the Bay," as the mascotwas known, was never thesame.

Still, most of the formerstaffers said "the Kamel"could do well today-if, asseveral said, it kept up withthe times. As for radio'sfuture, announcer David "T"said that "over -the -airradio's future is bleak. The

delivery of audio via othermeans is strong." AddedO'Hair: "The future will heinteractive/cable-delivered."Otherwise, he sees AMbelonging to "police calls,"FM to Rush Limbaugh andHoward Stern.

A3 Programmers, MusicMakers Reach Summit

BY KENT ZIMMERMAN

It was put together, fromconception to execution, inonly three months, but byall objective measurements,the first GAVIN A' StrategySummit in Boulder,Colorado, last week scoredan A+ with most of theattendees.

There were nearly 300 ofthem, far more than origi-nally anticipated, and,unlike most industry get-togethers, there was nearlya 50/50 balance betweenradio and record people-and to good effect.

One common thread fromthe seminars, noted MichaelEhrenberg of Windham Hill,was that "radio and theindustry are workingtogether to make A' suc-ceed."

And Tony Mauro, pro-gram director of SatelliteNetwork's "The Mountain,"added: "Hell, record peoplearen't so bad after all."

The Summit, co -spon-sored by consultant DennisConstantine and the SBRRadio Company, was thefirst ever gathering by thefledging adult rock formatand brought out an array ofindustry people and artists(some performing, someattending sessions) dedicat-ed to super -serving disen-franchised adult rock fans.

The gathering was lacedwith surprises. For instance,after a lively Friday morningfree-for-all discussion,singer/songwriter MelissaEtheridge appeared andperformed an acoustic pre-

view of two songs from herupcoming album. John Hiattappeared in an equallyimpromptu fashion Saturdaymorning, performing fournew songs. Both Etheridgeand Hiatt earned standingovations.

Summit attendees wereworked hard all weekendby a series of nuts -and -boltssessions, all of which were

Def American Stages aHip, Cool and Groovy

BY SEANA BARUTH

In an only -in -Hollywoodkind of a ceremony, some500 mourners-and 1,500party-goers-laid "Def" torest last Friday (August 27).

For five years part of theDef American label, "Def"was sentenced to death bylabel president Rick Rubinafter he learned that theword was included in thelatest edition of Webster'sDictionary. Def AmericanRecordings is nowAmerican Recordings.

As the label's manager ofcollege promotion, ToddSievers, explained, "Defstarted out as a street termthat Rick felt expressed asource of excitement thatcouldn't really be expressedany other way. Now `derhas been found in the dic-tionary...(and Rick feels) itno longer carries the mean-ing it used to carry. It's nolonger hip; it's a standardterm."

In a chapel service atHollywood MemorialCemetery, the Def Americanfamily-bands, managers,staff and their relatives-gathered to hear a eulogydelivered by the Rev. Al

Sharpton and thenapproached the open casketto toss in some items,including CDs and promokits, bearing a DefAmerican logo. Followingthe service, the pallbear-ers-D(4 American's GNI

Reverend Al Sharpton, RickRubin and Mo Ostin, flankedby representatives of theBlack Panthers

Mark DiDia, Warner Bros.head Mo Ostin, DefAmerican's Sr. VP of salesFran Aliberte and attorneyJohn Branca-carried thecasket out to a horse-drawncarriage which, preceded bya New Orleans -style funeralmarching band, moved tothe gravesite. Def wasburied in a plot under ablack granite headstone,there to rest near such

Hollywood legends asRudolph Valentino, Cecil B.deMille and John Huston.

Mourners, led by a policemotorcade, then adjorned toa party at Shadow 39 Lanes,a Hollywood bowling alley,v\ here they were joined by

more than 1,500 additionalguests to celebrate the sub-sequent birth of AmericanRecordings. Attendeesincluded Tom Petty, Fleafrom the Red Hot ChiliPeppers, Depeche Mode'sDavid Ghan, Trent Reznor,Roseanna Arquette and SirMix -A -Lot, among others.American recording artistsRed Devils and Raging Slabperformed.

Def, Jury Out

Burial On TheftThe burial party, hyped

by a series of postcardsdepicting famous funerals,was a media event, or,more accurately, an eventgeared to draw media atten-tion at a time whenHollywood already has amonopoly on the press. AsSievers told GAVIN, "Theultimate purpose is to, inone fell swoop, get thename change across. A lotof people are like Why areyou doing this? Why spendthis much money?' Becauseeveryone's talking about it.

The word is out. It'sthe hottest party intown and everyoneknows why-becausewe're now AmericanRecordings."

The burial of Def,while presented by the

label as merely a namechange, also seems to betterrepresent the label's ever -diversifying roster. DefAmerican was first knownfor rap releases by L.L. CoolJ and the Geto Boys, butthe label's current artistsinclude the Black Crowes,the Jayhawks, Barkmarket,Andrew Dice Clay, JohnnyCash, and techno sensationsDigital Orgasm.

Spurned Stern Suing WLUP-AMUpset over being dumpedby WLUP/AM-Chicago,Howard Stern is taking thestation to court.

WLUP dropped Stern'ssyndicated morning showAugust 23rd. VP/GM LarryWert said the show was"not compatible with ourstation" and pointed to theFCC's most recent fines onstations carrying Stern'sshow as a major factor inhis decision, but Stern hascharged that Wert used theFCC fines as a smokescreenfor poor ratings.

Don Buchwald, Stern'sagent, told GAVIN Tuesday(August 27) that a suitwould be filed "in one tothree days," charging WLUPand owner Evergreen MediaCorp. with breach of con-

tract "and other damages."He said that his client'sshow was dropped with noadvance notice and despitea "long-term agreement."

"It's laughable," Buchwaldsaid about Wert's assertionsthat Stern's show wasdropped because of theFCC fines, which werelevied against Infinity andseveral of its stations. "Thisis the excuse he's come upwith...We obviously didbusiness with the wrongpeople."

While talk continues toswirl about changes inChicago radio-WLUP/AMis expected to go all -sportsunder the direction of thereturning Greg Solk, withmany of its air staff expect-ed to move to its FM sister

for a new comedy/talk for-mat (while LMA partnerWWBZ gets its musiclibrary), Stern is without astation in the Windy City.

And, Buchwald said,there are no immediateprospects for one. As hepointed out: "If you owneda station in Chicago, andthe Loop came on withwhat they said, youwouldn't feel too goodabout the show."

Meantime, Evergreen ispreparing for the September17 court hearing that mayhelp determine the constitu-tionality of the FCC's inde-cency enforcement prac-tices.

As reported last issue, thehearing resulted from aChicago federal judge's

rejection of Evergreen's bidfor a dismissal of the FCC's$6,000 fine, levied in 1989,against it for allegedly inde-cent remarks by Steve Dahland Garry Meier.

Distict Judge JohnNordberg, while rejectingEvergreen's claim that theFCC's definition of indecen-cy was unconstitutionallyvague and broad, said itwas uncertain whether theCommission's enforcementof that definition has been"arbitrary and capricious"enough that theConstitution's guarantee ofdue process might be vio-lated. Until such matters aredecided, the judge said, hewould not dismiss the FCC'sforfeiture collection suitagainst Evergreen.

DeviceBY DAVID BERAN

NARM's plan to alleviate theproblem of record storeshoplifting may createanother problem-that ofsound degradation in audiocassettes carrying acousto-magnetic anti -theft devices.

Ron Stone, president ofGold Mountain Entertain-ment, recently sent a letterto the heads of major U.S.record companies voicinghis fears concerning thedevice. "Unfortunately," hewrote, "acousto-magneticdeactivation causes audibledegradation in audio cas-settes, which in turn reflectsnegatively on artists andlabels...We, as a manage-ment company will not sup-port any such recommenda-tion that places a magneticfield up against any audioproduct..."

Stone told GAVIN, "I'm nota technical expert, but anengineer/producer friendpointed out that 30 to 40percent of cassettes weregetting damaged by thedevice." The device is aSensormatic deactivatorwhich NARM has recom-mended as a standard forU.S. stores to thwartshoplifters.

NARM president PamHorovitz rapped Stone's let-ter. "Ron Stone," she said,"does not have all the infor-mation surrounding .theNARM recommendation athand, and his remarks-foranybody who's beeninvolved in the process ofthis recommendation-areclearly the result of somemisinformation..."

Sensormatic maintainsthat their redesigned "toast-er" deactivator does notproduce any sound degra-dation on cassettes.

Stone insists that "whatI'm suggesting is not so rad-ical. Putting a magnetizeddevice on cassettes withinthe same sphere is kind ofdumb-let's make surewe're not doing any harm."

Good PDs go to radio stations andmake good radio stations." So whatdo the winners have in common?Kevin says, "They're not overlypreoccupied with whether or not aparticular song will work. Instead,they should concentrate on devel-oping a strong morning show,helping everyone on the air staffachieve maximum potential andkeeping the overall presentation

Kevin Carroll

tight and focused. They also don'tget stuck with too many value-added promotions." Of the lastpoint, Kevin says that managementwill usually support programmingthat's winning, but, he says, "I'mfully aware that everyone wants astation that will win but, moreimportantly, will bill." He says heremains convinced that "those whostay true to the image they're try-ing to present will win."

Topping Kevin's list of concerns,however, is where the next groupof music directors will come from.Kevin feels that, especially insmaller markets, PDs give little orno control to MDs. "The hardestthing for some people to do istrust someone with the music," hesays. "Those spending three and ahalf or four days worrying abouttwo or three songs, checkingmounds of stats, probably arenever going to win."

As examples of changing times,Kevin recalls outdated theories likewomen won't listen to women andthe days when jocks had monosyl-labic or duosyllabic names. "Nowyou have names like Mancow orChio The Hit Man," he says."People turn on the radio, and ifyou entertain them they'll stay.Essentially, when good radio sta-tions win we all benefit, and whenbad radio stations go away webenefit too. Think of somethinglike 'Hot Hits.'It turned the recordbusiness on its ear because all of asudden people were going out andbuying records again."

As to the current state of radio,Kevin says he hears exciting thingshappening in a number of formats.

ORIGIN OF THE NAME

SHAGGY: "As a kid, I was like

a straw with this huge head of

hair-so the kids started call-

ing me Shaggy after the guy in

`Scooby Doo.' I hated it, tried

to lose the nickname, but it

just stuck. Now, I've found out

that in the U.K., `to shag'

means to have sex, so it's a

cool name now."

ANOTHER ARTIST: "War" by

Bob Marley

PROUDEST ACCOMPLISH-

MENT: Achieving a #1 record

H F s A Y S, "No matter where

you go, no matter what you do,

make an impression."

"You know you've

got a hit when a song goes #1

or Top Five in nearly every mar-

ket in the country. From the 25

stations in America playing 'Oh

Carolina,' the same success is

developing. Stay tuned."

Produced by DJ Premier, theBlast Master drops a historical bombthat's a reminder of his past and hisplace in hip -hop. As the lyrics flowfrom the speakers, you can almostvisualize the vocal picture that Krispaints as he goes through keymoments of his life and career. Onething Kris makes evident is hislongevity, and in the cut's chorus hereminds us that many crews havecome and gone. Once they fall off-they're outta here! But have no fear,Kris also reminds us, "No doubtBDP is old school, but we ain't goin'out!" Peep out the B-side, "I Can'tWake Up," which is about KRS-ONE

DIGITALUNDERGROUNDReturn Of The Crazy One

(Tommy Boy)Look out people! The wild and crazyguy with the big sniffer has returnedwith Digital Underground for arump-shakin' good time. HumptyHump is back with his nasally deliv-ery and bugged out lyrics that areperfect for those silly and wild back -to -school parties. Production isP -Funk influenced with an off beatkeyboard loop and a hint of the"Humpty Dance" bass line. If thissong was by anyone else, it'd becorny, but since it's Humpty-it'sfunky. Contact Jamieson Grillo at(212) 388-8357.

LIFERS GROUPJack U. Back (Hollywood BASIC)It you got a kick out of Ice Cube's"Jackin' For Beats," this one's foryou. The real gangstas of rap dosome serious jackin' as they kicktheir "reality check" lyrics overtracks by N.W.A., the Ohio Players,The Jackson 5, King Tee, IsaacHayes, Average White Band, A.M.G.,Too Short and Cypress Hill. Vocalsfor this cut, and the rest of thealbum for that matter, were trackedin a temporary recording studioinside Rahway State Prison's maxi-mum security facilities in a one -week period. Live instrumentationby a drummer, bassist and hornplayers (all inmates) were alsotracked "in-house." Contact RocbarryBenson at (818) 560-6715.

ONYXShifftee (JMJ/RAL/Chaos)This group has got to be one of thebusiest acts of 1993. Having been onthe road doing shows since January,I'm sure they've played damn nearevery hip -hop club in the country.And just because they have a goldsingle doesn't mean they'll kick uptheir feet and rest on their laurels."Shifftee," the third single offBacdafucup, is so "low-down, grittyand grimy" that they scream it in thechorus of the song. The radio ver-sion, produced by Chyskillz and JamMaster Jay, has a hummin' bass linewith a tinny trumpet loop and sleighbells occassionally chime in thebackground. The LP version of"Bichasnigaz" is available on the B-side, but use discretion when play-ing it on the air. I think the four ofthem frown so much that the wrin-kle between their eyes has becomepermanent. Contact Kevin Mitchellat (212) 229-5225 or Tyesh Harris at(212) 833-8872.

HI -CGot It Like That (Skanless)The best word to describe Hi -C'snew single is "surprise"-and it's apleasant one. I know hard-core rapfans may be skeptical, but you can'tsleep on this one. Produced by Hi -C's partner in rhyme, Tony -A, "GotIt Like That" smacks you in the grillwith a neck-snappin' gangstagroove complete with funky syn-thesizer key strokes and a menac-ing bass line. Hi -C's delivery isharder than it was on most of hispast projects, but he still managesto inject a bit of humor. Play thisfor your audience and see howmany of them can figure out who itis.

FUNKMASTER FLEXPRESENTS THE FLIPSQUADC'mon Baby/Butterfly Style(Wreck)The Funkmaster comes back againwith the follow up to his under-ground hit, "Six Million Ways ToDie." "C'mon Baby" is DJ candybecause its dancehall dub overpopular and old school vocals andbreaks contains loops ranging fromDoug E. Fresh's "La Di Da Di" tothe familiar piano and guitar riffs of

MC Lyte and Mr. Scartacc. Thistwelve -inch contains primarilybreak beats, but there are two vocalcuts on the B-side, "Butterfly Style."The first is a two -minute call andresponse by Mr. Excitement, andthe second is a funky '93 remix of"It's Yours" by T La Rock. "C'monBaby" caters more to commercialradio and club DJs rather than tocollege DJs, but nevertheless, TheFlip Squad is definitely somethingyou need to flex on your turntables.Contact Drew Ha at (212) 730-7160.

DIRT NATIONKhadijah (Zoo Street)Dirt Nation comes direct with theirdebut single, "Khadijah," which is adedication to a neighborhood"Buddah Queen" from whom theypurchase the raw herbs. Its mellow,mid -tempo grooves are comple-mented by the group's story -tellingdelivery that provide simplistic butthoughtful lyrics about single moth-ers and surviving on the meanstreets of inner cities. The B-side,"Jail Break," is more harder -edged,with razor-sharp lyrics, deep, echo-ing bass lines and loops of a guitarriff from U2's "Mysterious Ways."Regardless of the group's name,Dirt Nation will soon rise higherthan top soil.

RAP - 11.111rRap Album New

ReleasesBLACK MOONEnta Da Stage (Wreck)When Nervous Records decided tojump into the rap game last year, the

c.ti splash washeardnationwidewhen they debutedBlack Moon.Hailing fromBucktow nU.S.A., A I \

Brooklyn,Buckshot Shorty, 5 HExcellerator and DJ L\ itDee have been pounding pavementsince the release of their first single,"Who Got The Props." But successdidn't stop them from going rightinto the studio to complete theirdebut album on Wreck Records(Nervous' rap division). Produced byEvil Dee and his brother Mr. Walt,collectively known as The BeatMinerz, Enta Da Stage is descibed byKRS-ONE as "...the phattest shit I'veheard in a long time." The clever useof samples separate this project fromthe run-of-the-mill albums that arecurrently saturating the rap market.Although "Who Got The Props" washighly praised by the hip -hop com-munity, Black Moon decided toswitch it up a little, and flipped it abit harder on the album. Cuts tocheck out include "PowerfulImpact," "Buck 'Em Down," "BlackSmifN'Wessun," which features Smif-N-Wessun who has just signed withWreck, "Slave," "Shit Iz Real" and "UDa Man," which features the worldpremiere performance from BigDrew Ha.

KRS-ONEReturn Of Da Boom Bap (Jive)I wasn't sure what "Boom Bap"meant, but after I listened to thisalbum, my guess would be straight -up, hard-core rap music with real,rough and rugged lyrics. Of the four-teen cuts here, seven were producedor co -produced by DJ Premier, fourby KRS-ONE, two by Kid Capri andone by Showbiz. Complement thedope production with the no com-promise delivery of the Blastmasterand you have one of the roughest,rawest rap albums ever. One listento the lyrical terrorist named 'CRS -ONE and you know he is not justanother rapper-he's a true masterof ceremonies. Cuts to check out are"Mortal Thought," "I Can't WakeUp," "Slap Them Up," "Sound Of DaPolice," "Uh Oh," "Brown SkinWoman" and "Return Of Da BoomBap." And KRS-ONE would like tosay, "Peace to all the real DJs outthere 'cause I don't send my musicto no garbage DJs."

ILLEGALThe Untold Truth (Rowdy)So what do Cohn Wolfe, Diamond D.,Erick Sermon, Dallas Austin, LordFinesse, Spearhead X, Biz Markie andCool V have in common? They're allinvolved with Illegal's debut album. Veryrarely do new groups, let alone onemade up of two prepubescent teens,command the respect of such well-known producers, but Illegal's got theright one, baby-uh huh! A lot of criticsmay be skeptical about little kids kickin'hard-core rhymes, but since they writeall their own lyrics, you can't front on`em! Cuts worth peepin' out include"Back In The Day," which gives usIllegal's background, "CrumbSnatcher,"with guest vocals by Diamond D.,"Understand The How," "On Da M.I.C.,with guest vocals by Lord Finesse andA.G., "Stick 'Fin Up" and "If UWant It.

LEADERS OF THENEW SCHOOLT.I.M.E. (Elektra)'the long-awaited pioneers of thenew school finally come back fromtheir two year absence with T.I.M.E.(The Inner Mind's Eye). Thoughwe've heard tidbits of Busta's lyricalloud mouth on cuts ranging fromMary J. Blige's B-side "Intro" toHeavy D's "Bunch A Niggas," wereally haven't heard the group catchwreck collectively since last year'sclassic remix of Tribe's "Scenario."But yes, once again we get to listento Busta's crazy maddmuffled,rugged lyrics, Dinco's smooth innov-ative deliveries, Charlie's highpitched yelping, singing and catchyrhymes, and the group's unison cho-ruses and exclamations. TIME. wasdefinitely worth the wait with its 17cuts of lyrical madness and mesmer-izing tracks with wild noise loops tomellow basslines. The group them-selves produced a majority of thisalbum allowing Dinco, Charlie, andMilo to flex their studio skills. Themajority of the production was left toBusts Rhymes along with Backspinand Sam Sever. The group comes alittle hit harder than they did on AFuture Without A Past, with less bigband '20s and '30s jazz horn andpiano loops, and a little less scream-ing from Charlie Brown. Much of theharder lyrics can be heard on cutslike "Spontaneous" (which is remi-niscent of "Sound of the Zeekers,"but with a harder edge and contain-ing all of the New School SocietyMCs, e.g. Cracker -Jacks,Rumpletilskinz, etc.) and "A Quarterto Cutthroat." On the extra phatt tip,songs like "Syntax Era," where Bustareally flips the script with one of themost unique rhythmic deliveriesheard this past year, and "What'sNext?" will definitely catch the earsof the most critical hip -hoppers.

P.D. NOTEBOOK BY ERIC NORBERG

A COMMENT ONEARLY ADDS

y June 4 column, called "TheLady Add Dilemma,"contained a letter from theprogram director of a smallstation who was squeezed bypromotion reps who wanted

dr early adds on new productto help get chart numbers. The repsresented an early drop because theyfelt it hurt the momentum on thesong. The question he asked was,"Will adding records early causemajor trouble with record repswhen you also drop them early?"

Here's a response from RandyAdams, program and music directorof KKRB/FM-Klamath Falls, Oregon:

"I'm in a competitive situation thatmakes it difficult if I wait too longto add a quality record and I toohave found myself ready to drop arecord while it is still trying to gaintop ten or number one status.

"In my opinion,part of theproblem lies inthe fact that as anA/C reporter Isee many recordstaking longer topeak because ofthe many 'full service' A/Cs thatlimit their playlist size. This is not tocriticize them; what they're doingmay be right for them, but the pointis, most of the songs I add early fallinto two categories. If the decision Imake is to add the song before therecord company 'add date', and/orbefore the trades accept it as anadd, the song must be one that Itruly believe will harm me by sittingon my desk instead of gettingimmediate airplay on my station. Aswith every MD across the country,sometimes a song I believe in willnot appear to do much regionally ornationally, but that has little to dowith what I decide my station willplay to meet its objectives.

"I have found most record reps Ideal with on a regular basis trustwhat I and many other MDs andPDs do, and why they do it. Onoccasion, I drop a song they don'twant me to or don't increaserotation soon enough to suit them.The simple rule of thumb is this:There are a great many songs thatcome across my desk each weekthat are 'sure shots' to chart. Thekey is being able to determine

whether that song, either by sound,artist or trend, will burn faster thanthe next. The song that may burnfaster may sit one or two weekslonger. Again, that sort of decisionis what makes our jobs in radio sochallenging, and keeps us fromprogramming 'by the book,' ornumber by number on a nationalchart."

Thanks to Randy for hisobservations. Here's a letter fromPat Linton, PD of KDEC/KRDI-Decorah, Iowa, inspired by thesame column..

"My relationship with most recordpromoters is excellent...but I havehad some not -so -pleasantencounters with some in the past,as we all have. One example is thehalf-hour 'grill session' by apromoter on a record that wasbarely moving up on `Up and

The key is being able todetermine whether that song,

either by sound, artist or trend,will burn faster than the next.

Coming'... I flat-out said no, but thatwasn't what they wanted to hear, sothey said that since I was still in mytwenties, I had no clue what myA/C audience wanted (even thoughour station has 41% of the audiencein our county!), that I was missingthe boat, etc., etc. I feel...weshouldn't let our listeners down justto please someone on the phone. Ifthe promoter is good, they'llunderstand that you'll add it whenyou feel it's right to do so. Smallermarket PDs and MDs need to workhard to get the respect of recordcompanies and build a professionalrelationship with those great peoplewe talk to every week!"

Next week: A final letter based onthe same column-with somethoughts about how one decideswhat to add and what not to. (Ed. Note: In last week's column18/271, it was erroneously stated"Experts are not predicting that RBDSdatastreams may have applicationsin designing cars that can locatethemselves to within a few feedanywhere in the country. In fact,experts are making such predictions.Sorry for any corifustion.)

Dale Turner

MARITAL STATUS: Married

to actress Lisa Hartman

FIRST eici: Played bass in

brother Kevin's band

Fu N FACT: Clint was recently

in New York for a surprise

appearance at the CBS

Affiliates Dinner at the Waldorf

Hotel. After an intro by David

Letterman, Black told the CBS

brass he'd agreed to perform

gratis for the evening

"because David said you'd

probably give me my own talk

show."

(about his current

single) "This song is about

recognizing that the most

valuable resource that we all

have on this Earth is time.

'There's no time to kill

between the cradle and the

grave.' I wanted to say that we

have to really live every

moment; it's foolish to wait

until we're old to look back and

place the appropriate value on

the time we have on Earth."

"At a time when

too many country folk are

fleeing from pedal -steel guitars

in the mad scramble for that

pop -crossover line, Black con-

tinues to keep the traditional

flame burning bright."

Generation X, meet Generation

Y-as in, "Why bother?"The members of Generation Y were bornjust before the rumblings that led to WorldWar II. Its members went through highschool in the mid -'50s, just before rockand roll. Most of them stuck with theirradio favorites, the big bands and theirfeatured vocalists, and while a youngergeneration embraced Top 40, they pavedthe Middle of the Road. When FM pulsedwith rock and roll, and MOR becameAdult Contemporary, they turned to sta-tions playing classical, big band, or what'scalled "beautiful music."

Today, they are the 55 -and -overcrowd, and as far as radio seems tobe concerned, "over" is the opera-tive word-as in over and out.

Or, as long-time jazz and big`band DJ Al "Jazzbeaux" Collins

puts it, "If you're over 55, man, it'slike having leprosy."

It doesn't make sense, especiallygiven the popularity of such artistsas Natalie Cole and Harry Connick,Jr. and the sales of Barbra

Streisand's Back to Broadwayalbum and the soundtrack ofSleepless in Seattle, whose artists-among them the late JimmyDurante-went head to head onerecent week against Cypress Hill-and won. But in the last few yea N.

as radioprogrammers have chased thebulge of baby -boomers (the 77 mil-lion Americans born between 1946and 1964), they've done so almostto the exclusion of anyone outsidethe treasured 25-54 demographiccell.

On Top 40, that means a shiftaway from the format's traditional12-24 cell. Mitch Dolan, GM of

station owners and their

WPLJ-New York, says his stationleft that cell because Z100 (WHTZ)"was doing it already. With 12-24s,you'll get sodas and movies, but toreally goose your revenue line, youhave to have banks, airlines, motorvehicles, and it's difficult to attract

"If you're over 55,

man, it's like

those advertisers if your audienceis skewed to a younger demo."

"Young demos are beingignored," says David Bramnick,former general sales manager whorecently took over the GM slot atKFRC-San Francisco. "The mar-keters are all aiming down the mid-dle."

But today's story is about thenewest-and oldest-of lost gener-ations, and about Y they're gettingless radio all the time.

Of course, they can turn to News

and Talk; classical, jazz and countryfans can find plentiful outlets. Butthose who relaxed with Beautiful,or Easy Listening, are being aban-doned, as one after another haveshifted into A/C or another format.Nationally, the percentage ofBeautiful stations has dropped fromabout eight to about two in threeyears. Big band/nostalgia stationshave held at about two percent,but in the last several years, three

bastions of big hand radio havethrown in their lounge jackets:KMPC in Los Angeles, WNEW/AMin New York, and, just last month,"Magic 61" (KFRC/AM) in SanFrancisco (not to mention WREC-Memphis, WYNZ-Portland, andothers).

It's the radio version of sendingthe folks off to the retirementhome.

"Magic 61's" disappearing acttook place despite its standing asone of the most successful 12+ sta-tions in recent years in a clutteredradio market.

In fact, the seven year -old "Magic61" had just scored an up book, to4.2, landing it in fifth place amongmore than 50 signals, when newowners Alliance Broadcastingpulled the plug August 12 andbegan simulcasting with its FMOldies sister.

Upset listeners called in suchnumbers that the station resorted toanswering with a taped messagethat dropped names like RayCharles, the Righteous Brothers andthe Platters, hoping to get fans of

big band and standards to sampleOldies.

"It's a shame," says Bramnick,whose first duties as the new GMat KFRC included firing the "Magic

61" staff, including such provenveterans as Jim Lange, BuddyHatton, Dan Sorkin, Carter B. Smithand Don Sainte-Johnn. "It was agood station. But everything wasover age 50, and our predominantaudience was near 65." (The latestArbitrons showed that 52 percentof KFRC/AM's audience was 65 orover, and 30 percent were 55-64.Although all such stations areknown to draw younger listeners aswell, the 45-54 cell was only 9.5percent. KGO, the long-time domi-nator in the market, also drawsolder listeners with its News/Talk,but, while 35 percent of its listenerswere over 65, only 15 percent were55-64, a healthy 24 percent were45-54, and another 26 percent werein the 25-44 age range.)

Previous GM Brent Osborne laidout the station's problems succinct-ly when he spoke with thisreporter. "Eighty percent of the$200 million that ad agencies spendeach year on Bay Area radio is tar-geted 25 to 54. The agencies say`Magic 61's' audience is too old;that if you're over 54, you don'tcount." He grabbed a notepad andbegan jotting down some numbers,talking as he scrawled. "Now, KGOdoes about an 8." Scribble. "KFRCdoes about a 4." Jot. "They doabout $30 million in sales. We doabout $4 million." He underlinedthe two numbers, thrust the padtoward me, and looked up. "Now,what's wrong with this picture?"

What's wrong, in the opinion ofmany radio people, are advertisingagencies and radio reps. AsBramnick puts it: "Ad agencies inAmerican don't believe that peopleover 65 are (a) making large pur-chases or (b) willing to changebrand loyalties. I don't believe it'strue. But the people who controlmarketing in the United Statestoday are mostly 30 to 49 years old,and they're marketing to their owngeneration. So older people arebeing overlooked."

Les Malloy, who went on the airin San Francisco in 1934, agrees."But I was watching KQED (a PBSTV station) and they were having apledge drive, running jazz, andnothing happens. Then they put on

; I, 11a show with Sinatra and a crop ofolder singers, and the phones ringoff the walls. But everybody for-gets people over 40."

"If I were starting a radio station,

I'd go after the 50 -to -60 -plus mar-ket," says Phillip Lempert, seniorvice president of Age Wave, agerontology consulting compa-ny in Emeryville, Calif.Because stations targetingthem are such a rarity, hefigures, older listeners arelikely to be more loyalones, less likely to tuneout or switch stations oncommercial breaks, sincethere are fewer stations toswitch to.

Right now, there arefewer stations, period.With radio programmersand time buyers, says Jazzbeaux,"It's the same old thing: What'sgonna sell more potatoes?" Collins,at 74, sounds just like he did whenhe began jazzing up the airwavesa half -century ago, making hisname at the WNEW of the '50s.Collins, who now does twoweekend shifts at KCSM/FM-San Mateo, Calif. for about $10an hour, returned to WNEW in1986 after a storied couple ofdecades at KSFO and KGO inSan Francisco-and a short stintat the early "Magic 61." Whenhe left WNEW in '89, he says,"it was losing money. They had theplace up for sale."

Harry Valentine who pro-

grammed "Magic 61" from thebeginning and saw it hit its first rat-ings heights, says that the stationactually turned a profit early on(his successors say it made nomoney over its seven years), butconcedes that the station was "ahard sell. There were ways of sell-ing that were never tried."Valentine, now with AllianceBroadcasting, names, as one exam-ple, use of a directory for seniors,the Silver Pages, to find merchantstargeting the older audience.

The upper demos do a lot ofreading. The number one magazinein the country, according to WallMedia, isn't TV Guide or People,

but Modern Maturity, followed byReader's Digest.

To Al Ham, founder of the syndi-cated programming service, Musicof Your Life, much of revenuegoing into publications can hetaken by radio. "Magazine advertis-ing and direct -mail is costly. Radiois the best way to reach these peo-ple, especially with our kind of sta-tions.

"With this kind of music," hesays, "you get ratings and the mostloyal listeners around, and no one'scome up with a way to sell it. Butthe key is to find not the advertis-ing agencies, but the advertisers,the sponsors. They're out therewanting to reach this audience. It'sa case of taking time and findingthese people."

Once they're found, saysValentine, the pitch should be abreeze. "Roughly 25 percent of ourpopulation is over 50," he says."They own 80 percent of the assetsof this country. They hold 77 per-cent of the nation's savingsaccounts (a seemingly foreign con-cept to most of the younger gener-ation), and they have the highestamount of discretionary income."

Valentine could go on. For years,social scientists and otherresearchers have touted thestrength of the 50 -plus populace,how they make up the largestgroup of business owners, man-agers and CEOs; how they owntheir own homes and have less

expenses, and how much theyspend on a variety of goods: newcars, appliances, travel, and cloth-ing-not only for themselves, butfor grandchildren as well.

But no matter how impressivethe numbers may be, stationsaimed at older adults are having adifficult time. GAVIN'S Top 40 editor,Dave Sholin, was KFRC/AM's pro-gram director when it shifted to bigband. "If you go into that format,you'll go from 20th to third in 12 -plus," he says. "But the problem isturning numbers into cash."

"It's true," says CheryleHangartner of Katz Radio. She'sbeen buying time on News andTalk stations for 12 years. "What Ihear is that when you get an olderdemo, 55 -plus, the question is howmuch discretionary income do theyreally have? Are they actually onfixed incomes, or living off SocialSecurity money? If someone's over50, they've probably bought theirhome. At 35, you're still shoppingfor furniture."

The thing is, there are peopleaged 35-and younger-who likethe music of the past. But theyshow up too weakly in the ratingsfor the time buyers to notice.

Which brings us to Stan Martin, aprogrammer who's had successwith an upper demo music station.Now director of programming andoperations at WQEW/AM-NewYork, Martin was PD at WPEN/AM-Philadelphia, which got a 6.9 over-

all rating in Spring 1991, making itthe top -rated music station-andmaking it profitable. Now, he's try-ing to do the same in New York,where WQEW/AM is positioningitself as the successor to the late,great WNEW. 'NEW, of course, wasthe home of Martin Bloch's MakeBelieve Ballroom beginning in thelate '30s, of MOR giants likeWilliam B. Williams, and of a bigband format, lifted by such DJs asTed Brown, Jonathan Schwarz andAl "Jazzbeaux" Collins through the'80s until Westwood One pur-chased it and replaced music withtalk. It is now WBBR, all -Business.

Martin, who put WQEW on theair the same week that WNEWbowed out, thinks he knows howto overcome the advertising com-munity's biases.

"It's a misconception," he says ofthe ad world's view of older peo-ple. "This is the first generation ofaudience that has more moneythan their children. They travel.They buy luxury cars. It's an activeaudience. They like to go out."And, as we were saying, "they"aren't all seniors. Martin sees plentyof 20- and 30 -somethings at con-certs with Tony Bennett andNatalie Cole.

"We as radio people have tobring the advertisers to our events,"says Martin. "We attract peopleranging three generations, and weinvite buyers as guests, to see thekind of people we draw. It's aneducatory situation. If they see andexperience what we do, they willspend the money."

With WNEW gone-and with`QEW being perceived as whatMartin calls a "savior" in the NewYork area, and with two otherBeautiful outlets, including thelong-standing WPAT, having gonethe A/C route, Martin thinksWQEW/AM, in combo with itsClassical sister (WQXR/FM), can beprofitable.

But, he adds, "It's incumbent onmanagers at such stations to run itkeeping a careful look at costs.You can't run it with rock and roll

money, on rock and roll talent.You have to be thoughtful aboutexpenses."

One option for stations willing toaccept the challenges of program-ming for older listeners is syndicat-ed programming, such as Music ofYour Life, Unistar's AM Only andSatellite Music Network's Stardust.In fact-this just in-in SanFrancisco, the AM side of B98(KABL) has decided to go after theabandoned "Magic 61" listeners,returning the KABL call letters to

the AM air and playing standards,mostly vocalists from the '50s intothe '80s, from Unistar. One quickly -produced station ID asserts: "TheMagic has moved..."

what it portends for those in theradio business. By the year 2000,demographers say, the number ofpeople aged 20 to 30 will declinedramatically, while the 45 -plus

THE"MUSIC OF YOUR LIFE")TM

"With Magic 61's departure,'VP/GM Eddie Esserman told GAVIN,"there's an opportunity to jumponto. We're not gonna get rich withthis, but it's an opportunity to dosome good business with the sta-tion. There's a ratings constituency

out there to support this. It's ourjob to convince the advertisers."

Al Ham, who conceived Music ofYour Life in 1978, knows all aboutthe ups and downs of nostalgiaradio. No matter the stats showingotherwise, he personally believesthere's an "explosion" of interest inbig band and older pop music.There certainly seemed to be whenhe came up with the format atWMAS-Springfield, Mass. It grew tomore than 200 stations beforegoing up on satellite in 1988. But,he says, the company to whom hesold the service "told me, 'We can'tsell upper demos."

By the time Ham reacquired hisservice, full-time affiliates weredown to 50, and he's now rebuild-ing, using tapes instead of the bird."We're signing two, three stations aweek," he reports, naming suchmarkets as Boston, Detroit,Cleveland and New Orleans.

Supporters of upper demo radiohave suggested that adult stationsin various formats unite to sellradio to advertisers, that they goafter companies now advertising inspecialty publications for seniors-hut not on radio-and to thinkpositively. As one Houston pro-grammer, Doug Pearlman, oncesaid, "Fifty -plus represents thefuture."

Speaking of which, Hangartner,the rep at Katz Radio, is thinkingabout the aging of America, and

population jumps by 23 percent.By century's end, 55 percent of dis-posable household income willbelong to homes headed by peopleaged 34 to 54.

Hangartner, of course, knows allthis. "I wonder what's going to

happen when the target becomes35-64," she says. "I think you'll seestations staying in those (nostalgia)formats." Of course, tomorrow's 50year -old isn't likely to be attachedto the same music as yesterday's 50year -old. The Music of Your Life ofthe future, after all, is Therapy? andNirvana; Madonna and Menace IISociety.

Or it may be big band and popstandards; Benny Goodman andElla Fitzgerald.

"Big band is still healthy," saysJazzbeaux, "and it's fueled by newbands like the North Texas Stateband, the Blue Wish Band inCincinnati, and Full Faith andCredit in San Francisco, which getsa lot of young people." He alsocredits CD reissues of Goodmanand Artie Shaw, and of other WorldWar II era music (on such labels asRhino with its Sentimental Journeyseries, Columbia/Legacy with itsBest of Big Bands series, Capitol,Time -Life and LaserLight).

"The Generation X is discoveringthis kind of music," says Ham. "It'sbecome the in thing. It took usthrough the Depression, a worldwar, and the Korean War. It's themusic of romance and optimism."

The music is there, and so arethe programmers and listeners. Thequestion is: Is radio?

New ReleasesJOE MORELLOCOM PLACES (DMP)

You hear the opening strains of"Sweet Georgia Brown" and thatunmistakable drum style hits you-sticks tap-dancing on the very edge ofthe snare drum skin, sometimes incor-porating the metal rim's resonance.After nearly two decades, Joe Morello,the legendary drum technician withthe Dave Brubeck Quartet, returns tothe studio under the watchful ear ofthe Digital Music Products label.Morello is clearly on the forefront ofGoing Places' sound, but not in thesense that he's artificially pushed frontand center in the mix. That famous"Take Five" drum sound is hack."Parisian Thoroughfare" features somenifty drum cameos that, coupled withGreg Kogan's piano, resembles thefamous interplay between Brubeckand Morello with staccato piano burstsand Joe's machine-gun snare. Morellorecently described his style as linearand melodic. Joe, not into the busy,odd time signatures of younger drum-mers, is worthy enough to standamong all-stars like Buddy Rich, ShellyManne and Max Roach. Going Placesis intimate, uncomplicated and hop-ping, however, his "MissionImpossible" rendition is a tour de forcedrum clinic on its own.

DANCING FANTASYWORLDWIDE (IC/DA)

If I were a major label, I'd look care-fully at these guys. Dancing Fantasy isa curious synth duo from Europe thatalways seem to grab Ars affectations.Their music is unabashedly wide-eyedand fun, free of heavy messages andsteely technique. Their newest, entitledWorldwide, 'has a travelogue theme,with each selection signifying a stop ina different city-New York, LosAngeles, Tokyo, Sydney, etc. Manytracks are breezy and airborne and tryto capture a particular geographicvibe. New York's "Birdlancl" is jazzy,L.A.'s "Hang Loose" is mysterious andposh, and Montreal's "Deja Vu" is asaurally cosmopolitan as itsFrench/Canadian/Italian blend. It'sentertaining to jump around the discand follow Curtis McLaw and Chris W.Williams' pert visions of each city.Worldwide contains some welcomemelodic interludes to help smooth outthose tricky N segues.

On the otherhand, the rumbling sub -bass byFreddie Washington and the hip per-cussive accents by Bill Summers andMunyungo, alongside Teri LyneCarrington's modem drum attack pro-vide superb depth.

Jinda has avast array of organic percussion at hisdisposal, and Reliable Sources is anEdison -flavored production.Guitarist/synthesist Randy Roos givesthe sessions its plugged -in feel withlots of synth loop rhythms, as heardon "Overleafing A New Turn." Withfunk bassist Gerald Veasley onboardand rhythm acoustic pianist Szakcsicompleting the band, Jinda goes towork embellishing each song with lay-ers and layers of chimes and handdrums. "Serengeti Sky" chirps and jin-gles with a scenic luster. Jinda is amaster at blending sample rhythmswith the real thing, marrying the mod-em and the primitive.

Dr. Jazz

Operations, (313) 542-7888

It's SAID: "Joe's unique

drum solo on 'Take Five' is

arguably the most remembered

jazz drum solo of all time. Joe

has appeared as a drummer on

over 120 albums, of which 60

were with the Dave Brubeck

Quartet. " Digital Music

MORELLO TALKS ABOUT:

GOING PLACES: "I tried tomake a straight -ahead jazz

record-something quality and

not overbearing-and establish

myself in a groove. There's

enough electronic stuff out

there. Why should I do that?"

H I s STYLE: "I like to call it

melodic-as technique it'smore linear, like theme and

development. A lot of the rock

drummers today will mention

me in modern drummer maga-

zines. Charlie Watts is a big

fan of mine."

TEACHING: "I do corrective

work rather than teach inter-

mediates and beginners.

Professionals come from all

over. I never interfere with any-

one's style. I enjoy imparting

the knowledge and just staying

home-I've been around this

world three times over."

FUTURE PLANS: Aline ofinstructional videos, drum clin-

ics on the west coast, a gig in

Oklahoma, then off to Spain

and Germany with the group.

A3 New Releases

JOHN MELLENCAMPHuman Wheels (Mercury)Now, more than ever the heart ofJohn Mellencamp's music has ahome on A3 stations. These are thelisteners who care less about rock -ability and more about what Johnactually has to say. While I had noproblem with his last two releases(one was spare and beautiful, the

GAVIN AAlbum Adult Alternative

EDITORS:

KENT/KEITH

ZIMMERMAN

other rock hard and convincing), Ican see how Human Wheels couldbe viewed as somewhat of a come-back (or throwback to Scarecrow).

While Mellencampseems to have per-manently given upbig -top production,true to form, hestill shares thesame gloomy dis-enfranchised feel-ing a lot of us haveas MTV "grinds"music to a pulp.Using GreatAmerican instru-mentation that isdefinitively adult -friendly, here's abrother -in -arms

talking about God, America andfamily-topics a lot of us can dis-cuss until sun -up. My favoritesinclude "Case 795 (The Family)" andthe illustrious title track.

MAE MOOREBohemia (TriStar Music)We've been listening to Mae Moore'sBohemia for the past three months,since a Canadian import packagesneaked through enemy lines.Immediately we found the opening"rap"/spoken word title track adelight, a soothing and hook -ladenadult pleaser. Produced by SteveKilbey of the Church, Mae inheritssome of Kilbey's surrealistic method-ology, giving the music and voice anairy balance. Clutching her Dali, Maedigs in acoustically, distinguishingherself from the crowded mass offemale troubadours by collaboratingwith a stable of strange Australianmusicians. Recorded in "New SouthWales" (Sydney) and mixed in herhometown of Vancouver, Bohemiamaintains a modem sheen, especial-ly on "Because Of Love," with itsNew Orderish bass. Nice drift.

PRODUCERS: Two top A3

producers-John Leventhal

and Ben Wisch-Patty Larkin

has released her fifth and

finest solo album. Guests

include Mary -Chapin Carpenter

and the Story. Larkin is a win-

ner of nine Boston Music

Awards and has appeared on

Rosanne Cash's latest album.

PATTY WORKING WITH

WISCH AND LEVENTHAL: "I

had more time to get to know

my own home studio, which

was up and running for only a

month before [her last album]

Tango. I did all the demos there

and some of the arrangements

are pretty much what I did at

home. When I sent the material

off to the producers, it was so

new it was like sending the

kids off to school and not

being sure I'd packed every-

thing in their lunch boxes. The

fact that they were excited

about it and wanted to work

with me made me feel like I

was in the big leagues."

MOST RECENT GIG:

Performing at the "High Street

Coffee House" with Pierce

Pettis and John Gorka during

the Gavin A3 Strategy Summit.

Park/Warner Bros.)This Is 1, ks off the Royal Bad One'scollection, The Hits & B -Sides 3.The former Prince will make you(pink!?) with envy as he lays downa cool groove that's crafted in the"Purple Rain" style. The vocal ver-sion is an edit of the album version,an it's chock full of Orchestra -edgedtexture. Yo! MTV, how about anUnplugged

TONY TONI TONEAnniversary (Wing/Mercury)Tony Toni Tone release the a per-fect follow-up to their #1 single, "IfI Had No Loot." I say "perfect"because it's my favorite track offtheir Sons Of Soul CD. The Tony (i)(e)'s can definitely dish up he slowjams and "Anniversary" has thehook that will keep it in play yearafter year.

AARON HALLGet A little Freaky With Me(Silas/MCA)Guy tans need not fret, becauseeventhough the group disbanded,Aaron busts out his solo debut witha mid -tempo track that's recalls hisdays with the group. Hall isn't astranger to solo outings-last yearhis "Don't Be Afraid" on the Juicesoundtrack was smokin'.

SAMPLE THIS!Another Lie (Elektra)The debut of a group with a jazzygroove and an in -your -face vocalist.Sample This! is a blending of thestyles of groups like The BrandNew Heavies with En Vogue. Theirfusion is definitely radio -friendly.

LISA TAYLORDon't Waste My Time (Motown)I dare you to not to tap your feet toLisa Taylor's "Don't Waste My

Time." This Giant Records artistlends her vocal sweetness toMotown's Meteor Man soundtrackwith applaudable results. "Don'tWaste My Time" gets better witheach play.

J. SPENCERHot Pants (MoJazz)J. Spencer plays a smoothed -outsoprano sax on the funky/jazzy tip"Hot Pants" has vocal assistancefrom labelmate Colin England andits rap flava comes courtesy ofJimmy "Clev" Juarez. J. Spencer'smix will find "Hot Pants" admirersof all ages, shapes and sizes.

1 OF THE GIRLSHandle With Care (eastwest)These four young ladies deliver asmooth and sensitive ballad request-ing patience and that the elementsof a relationship be handled deli-cately. Off stage, 1 Of The Girlsstress that young women should bethemselves, but at the same time beresponsible and this single express-es that from the heart and not fromthe soapbox.

USHERCall Me A Mack (LaFace/Arista)This catchy single marks the debutof the newest artist on L.A. Reid andBabyface's label. Usher Raymond'svocal range makes him sound olderthan he actually is, and it'll help himdevelop into quite a performer. Besure to check out the CrazycoolMix, as the original is hyped upwith a lil' mo' bass for your audi-ence to vibe off of. -Ron EnwARDs

T.C.F. CREWHardest Working Lover (Cold

Chillin'/Warner Bros.)The second single from T.C.F.Crew's debut album, Come AndPlay With Me, features more of thhip -hop influenced soul that TheChosen Few Crew is known for.There are three remixes by ToddTerry, and the soulful sounds com-bined with the TCF's harmonyequals a song with hit potential."Hardest Working Lover" is a sleep-er waiting for a wake up call fromUrban programmers across thecountry. Listeners will approveonce they get a dose of what thissingle is all about. -Ron EDWARDS

Because of the number of frozenreports this week, the top ten lookspretty much the same-with theexception of The Breeders' 17-4move. Although SmashingPumpkins hold onto Number Oneby a fairly comfortable margin, TheBreeders' 17-4 move-along withtheir presence among this week'sMost Added-should be enough tomake the top three feel the heat.

Jumping 21-14 is The Ocean Bluewho culled four newcomers thisweek-The Max, WEQX, WCDB andWTSR. Up 'til now, most of theband's support has been from thecommercial side, although this weekshows some growth from the col-lege end of the panel.

Our hottest mover this week isCracker's album, Kerosene Hat,which bulleted 46-21 this week!Newly added at Q101, KROQ, 91X.and CFNY, among others. DidDawn Hood have a great week orwhat?

Our highest debut this weekcomes from Unrest, who enter thechart at #25! "Cath Carroll" is gettingheavy requests/top five phones atWUNH, WCDB and KGAY.

The Boo Radleys swing 38-27,thanks in part to WCHZ, WXCI,KROQ, WRUV, WCBR andWVXU-all of which have the bandin Heavy rotation. And personalthanks to the ten stations that addedThe Boos this week. Thank you.Thank you. Thank you. You're soglad that you did!

Congratulations to Buffalo Tomon their Most Added honors. Asyou can see by the numbers, JoelMailman and Pete Rosenbloommade mincemeat of the competition.And there's more! Buffalo Tom hadenough points to debut this week-and rather strongly, too-as theyentered the chart at #35.

ARTIST PROFILE

N

WHEELFROM: England

LATEST SINGLE/ALBUM:

"Crank"/Chrome

EL: Mercury

THEY ARE: Rob Dickinson,

singer/guitarist; Brian Futter,

guitarist; Neil Sims, drummer;

Dave Hawes, bassist.

THEY SAY: "All that touring

has paid off for us. Being over

here (America), we were

allowed to develop and re-

invent ourselves. It allowed us

to find our feet and identify

our own sound. We were sick

of being mentioned in the

same breath as other bands.

We've grown into something

different-we're producing

something now that only per-

tains to us and is not likiany-

thing else. I wasn't as confi-

dent on those issues with the

first album, but on this one, I'm

prepared to go up to anybody

and say, 'This is worth listening

to.' " -Rob Dickinson

IT'S SAID: "Brothers and

sisters, the Devil has sent a

child among us. He's not danc-

ing naked in a highland glade.

He's not defecating in shire

churches and chanting the

Lord's prayer backwards. He's

not even in a death metal

band...Not quite, anyway. Rob

Dickinson, singer in the fiery

vortex of noise and emotion

that is Catherine Wheel, is the

most evil -looking man in rock.

He makes Perry Farrell look

like a choirboy."

ALTERNATIVEfaced hooks"-a sentiment that, withthe release of this dynamic fulllength, still holds true, althoughArrhythmia rocks much harder thanthe lead track might lead you tobelieve. In fact, if you're expectingthis to be an entire album of power -pop ala early Stuffies, I've got somenews for you-it just ain't so. Thedozen tracks on Arrhythmia fallsomewhere between earlyStuffies/Replacements and, uh,Therapy?. The hooks are there, thesongs are there and the guitars aredefinitely there. Geez, what more doyou need? I like the Westerberg-ish,cryin' in yer beer song, "Shame," thejaunty pop tunes "So Plain,""Excess," "Joanne" and "Everything,"and muscle -flexing "Everybody'sIcon." Can't wait `til these guys tour.I have a feeling they have to be seento be fully appreciated.

minious past has now been reevalu-ated, and accolades are piling up onIggy where self -mutilating slashesused to. The point is, those scars aregone, just as all of these trumpetingwords of praise will be someday.What remains is the music, and Iggyhas jumped out of enough cakes inhis life to recognize this simple truth."Wild America" is an appropriatefirst single that rushes with immedia-cy and a sweaty fist of wah wah gui-tar groove. An uncensored video issupposedly making the rounds, aswell as headlines, and Henry Rollinsmakes a special guest appearanceon the track. The honky throb of"Mixin' The Colors" slags MTV andespouses individuality in the face ofuniformity with lines like "I like thekids with the ways of their own.""Plastic And Concrete" is a thumpingrocker with a trul2y great chorus,and check out Lisa Germano's pris-tine backup vocals on "Beside You."Other chestnuts include the convo-luted grind of "Sickness" and theraunchy "Boogie Boy." The pointblank honesty of the self -penned,hand -scrawled biography is worththe price of admission, but don't for-get the music. -DAVID BERAN

MY LIFE WITH THETHRILL KILL KULT13 Above The Night (Interscope)I always find it difficult to describeThrill Kill Kult's sound, and perhapsthat's because I've always used amusic frame of reference. A betterstarting point-at least one that moreaptly captures the band's colorful spir-it-would be the disposable, tabloid -infested underside of pop culture,because this band's medium goeswell beyond music. Inspired by pornoflicks, B -movies and over zealous reli-gious fanatics, from which the majori-ty of the band's samples are culled,Thrill Kill Kult lead you on a musicaljourney through what the band's biodescribes as "a ghoulish birthdayparty of sleazoid debauchery." Andgee, I guess that pretty much says itall. Favorite tracks include "Dirty LittleSecrets," which features Lydia Lunchon vocals, "Blue Buddha," "TheVelvet Edge," "Badlife" and "FinalBlindless," which starts with the line,"Tonight in Los Angeles, California,thousands of teenagers will drive up

SATIVA LUVBOX"U Got It All Wrong" (Gasoline

Alley/MCA)Got It All Wrong" starts with a dis-

tinctively fuzzy bass line that immedi-ately sends you back to the garage.Sativa Linbox has little in commonwith any current music trends, as theirsound mirrors the garage bands of thelate '60s. In fact, you're probablymore likely to find records from TheChocolate Watchband (ala "Let's TalkAbout Girls") and the Standells ("DirtyWater") in frontamn Partick Mata's

record collection than any grunge,disco or jangly guitar hand. Lyrically(and in keeping with this theme), "UGot It All Wrong" is a mirror -to -our -eroding -society song that, in this dayand age, is as close to a protest songas it gets. Fittingly, this song will befeatured in the upcoming fear andloathing style political satire (I thinkit's a satire. It's hard to tell with poli-tics), The Last Party. Give it a spin.Righteous harmonica. Drop out, tunein and I know you know the rest.

THE NEW SINGLE FROM THE NEW ALBUM TOREADOR OF LOVE

Import Indio7" SPOTLIGHT

Various Artists, 11,41iseto.

Various Labels

Debut vinyl fromDieselhed appearedlast month on SanFrancisco'sAmarillo label. Theband, who originally formed inEureka, Calif., includes membersand ex -members of Mr. Bungle,Psychefunkepus and Camper VanBeethoven, but as Dieselhed they'redoing a country schtick that's decid-edly different from their variouspasts. With a sort of half-witted zeal,these country stumblers earnestlyaddress the concerns of the ruraland blue collar man: forklifts, drivingtoo fast and red meat condiments."Forklift Test" and "Peelin' Out" areon the A -side; "A-1 Steak Sauce" ison the flip. Dieselhed isn't makingfun of anything, but somehoweverybody's laughing.

Wckr Spgt's latest 7" EP, Cream,on Shrimper Records, comes with aluvly hand -decorated sleeve and iscrowded with five lo-fi gems thatcombine my two superfavoritethings-verbal acuity and odd littlehooks. The fuzzy, dirge-ish "Built InTexas" shares an A -side with thedrone -pop title track, a tune thatadds nasal vocals to the hooks -and -metaphors mix. The flip's first cut,"Wait For Me" (which reminds mevividly of an old Catheads' song),boasts crudely brushed drums, a flat(dare I Stan Ridgeway -like?) vocaland the superb lyric, "If you wait forme you will understand structure/And that's important." Also includedare the cowboy -like "Slouch Hat"and "Bastards," a real -lifehonor story. Highly recommended.

Speaking of verbal acuity,Franklin Bruno of Nothing PaintedBlue fame has just released a solo-7-777 r7-; single containing five

songs on four tracks.Bruno upholds hisusual standard of lyri-cal excellence here,and truthfully I think

that the simpler format and theabsence of Kramer's fuzzy produc-tion serves Bruno's material betterthan the full -on, full -hand setting ofNothing Painted Blue. The first cut,"In A Sourceless Light," is asparkling -but -somehow -weepy,wordy love song that scores extrapoints for this American Music Clubreference: "I sit in the dark and I lis-ten to Mark/Asking where has thatlast firefly gone." "Soggy Girl" and"About You I'd Ask" are Bruno'sforums for experimentation; he bor-

rows a hip -hop beat, tie,' a woozy,processed vocal and uses hisresilient melody as anchor in a stormof flying noise and samples. Sidetwo's "Keeping The Weekend Free"adds mournful piano to a more stan-dard Bruno offering, and "I.W.S.(1987)" is a rather, um, uniquely ren-dered version of a long -ago hit forGloria Gaynor.

The Mountain Goats' latest pieceof 7" vinyl comes from Ajax inChicago (hi,Tim). The EP, rrirrinfChile de Arbol,also features five songs that, likemost Mountain Goats' tunes, suc-ceed by being both incredibly directand truly incandescent. While JohnDarnielle writes brief, blunt anduncomplicated stories, he alwaysmanages to conjure a moment insuch a way that it's like seeing theneighborhood where you grew upon a strangely -lit summer evening.Suddenly you don't recognize any-thing; suddenly you're in awe. Ofthe offerings here, I prefer theproud, desperate and wistful "BillyThe Kid's Dream Of The MagicShoes" (reminds me of an AmbroseBierce story) and "Alphabetizing."

And finally, Barbara Manningcontinues to pursue her goal ofreleasing 100 different singles on 100different labels with a 7" onTeenBeat. I'm not sure exactly whatnumber she's on, but since herband/band members change asrapidly as her label, it's no surpriseto fmd San Francisco veteransFlophouse playing with her on thiseffort. The Bats' Robert Scott wrotethis A -side, "B4 We Go Under,"specifically for Barbara, whose stun-ning version of the Bats' "SmokingHer Wings" was a stand -out on herlast full-length. "B4 We Go Under"smacks a bit of "Smoking HerWings" but also recalls one of Ms.Manning's originals, "SomeoneWants You Dead." Lefty Frizzell's "ILove You 1000 Ways" is her choicefor this single's B-side, and itssedate, country pace providesBarbara's warm, embracing vocalwith just the right forum. As it saysin the TeenBeat catalogue, "Barbarais the best singer and she's totallygreat and nice too." -SEANA BARU-1'H

STUE SHOAPS TALKS ABOUT:

THE SIGN NG: "Howie judgedWBCN's Rock and Roll Rumble com-petition which we won in '91 andthen in '92 one year to the day thatHowie signed us. He has been thebest to us. We've heard horror sto-ries from other bands about theirproblems but we've got big brotherHowie keeping an eye on us."

THE PRODUCER: "We started off

with a list of six producers and as itturned out Alex was at the top; allthe others either we couldn't affordor they were busy. We had alreadyheard a lot about Alex's work withsuch bands as Nuclear Assault,Anthrax, Testament, Wrathchild,Pantara and Agnostic Front."

THE RECDRDING: "We went in torecord the album in the beginningof September '92 with our olddrummer and things didn't workout. Subsequently, he was fired orquit -depending on who you talk to.It took us a few months to findSully Erna and break him in. Wemet Sully a friend of a friend. Wefinished recording in five or sixweeks, including the mixing andpre -production. Alex went out andgot us bass strings at five in theevening on Easter Sunday by get-ting the owner of a music store toopen up for us. We felt privilegedto work with him, and we think ofhim as our friend."

THE LYRICAL HUMOR: "That's anattitude thing! We're very tongue-in-cheek. Take "Lap Frappe." I'm ahuge KISS fan and I think of PaulStanley's lyrics as being both sillyand tongue-in-cheek at the sametime. For that song, I just got off ona Paul Stanley tangent and updatedit to what I thought he would haveoriginally done."

THE SINGLE "Bastard" is the firstsingle and video from the album. We

shot some live performance footagein Boston before completing thevideo in Richmond, Virginia.

TOURING: "This is our second dayout on the road. We're having agreat time and are finally getting todo what we've wanted to do for solong. We've blocked out some timeto play Foundations Forum '93 onSeptember 10. We go on at 9:50P.M., in the hotel ball room beforeSouls At Zero and the Scorpions.After that we have dates scheduledup and down the coast of California.We're talking to our agents abouthooking up with some other bandsand staying out on the road."

MESSAGE TO RADIO:

"Enjoy 'Bastard.' "

IT'S SAID: "...Owing as much toGBH, The Misfits and Black Flag asthey do to Metallica and Slayer forinfluencing their bare -boned sound,Strip Mind's lethal combination ofhard core riffing and metal muscleshould not only strip minds, but ripoff ears as well.

-Bill Ebner, Foundations

Rock ReleasesSOULS AT ZERO(Energy Records)Writing reviews can sometimes bea tiresome exercise, it's easy torun out of adjectives, ideas, oreven words. Then there is the rit-ual that every writer indulges in atone point or another, tearing upthe completed work whilescreaming, "This sucks!," andstarting over again. WrathchildAmerica can definitely relate tostarting over again because whentheir existence became alienated,their careers started to tumbledown hill which only becameworse after leaving AtlanticRecords, suffice to say, theyweren't happy with their situation.Instead of calling it quits, theymade some improvements and afew radical changes. They pulledthemselves out of the dirt by writ-ing a slew of new songs, changingtheir name to Souls At Zero, andgetting signed to Energy Records.After recording for 40 days andnights in a Baltimore studio, SoulsAt Zero completed a mighty hardguitar -oriented album that rockswith the intense aggression thatserious hard rock fans look for.Guitarist Jay Abbene and TerryCarter excel in the hard crunchysuper riff department by exchang-ing and executing spiraling hooksinto a chaotic frenzy of chords.The only thing that matches theprowess of Brad Divens bass arehis yelling vocals which expresstotal frustration. This whole albumis angry, it's an outlet for theseguys to vent steam from theirmishaps with their previous band.The hard metallic cuts include:"Frustration," "Look," "Not You,""Grey World," "Checkin' Out" and"Hardline." It's great to see a banepull themselves together anddeliver a great sound. Souls AtZero is going to be another one ofthose bands that will stay in myCD player for a while.

THERAPY?Hats Off To

The Insane

(A&M)If you have anuncontrolableurge for squir-ley guitar jams,hip groovin'bass jams andpoundingdrums thenyou definitelyneedTherapy?'s lat-est release

Hats Off To The Insane. This EPoffers six adrenaline pumpingsongs that easily match the inten-sity of the band's two previousalbums, Nurse and CaucasianPsychosis. Those of you who lis-ten to Walkmans while workingout will discover that Hats Off ToThe Insane is an excellent choicefor increasing your endurancewhile you're sweating away thatexcess fat. If you're not the exer-cising type, you could throw thispuppy on your car stereo, turn thevolume all the way up, and drivelike a crazy maniac through quietresidential neighborhoods. Talkabout a rush! If you don't have acar then blast Therapy? in the pri-vacy of your own home and sharethe blistering bionic guitar andbass mesh with your neighbors. Ifyou don't have a stereo then Isuggest you get a lifejacket. TheseIrish rockers have a great talentfor conjuring fast hard rock thatteeters on the alternative side butalways swivels back into theapocalypse of aggressive '90srock. Check out "Screamager,""Auto Surgery," "Totally RandomMan." Oh hell, listen to them all;they all rock!HELMET &HOUSE OF PAINJust Another Victim

Immortal/EpicI'm not a huge fan of hip -hop orrap, but the single, Just AnotherVictim featuring Helmet and Houseof Pain has struck a twisted chord,forcing me to give this Rip-Ropsound closer attention. MixingHelmet's lawnmower guitar licksand vicious bass booms with HouseOf Pain's raunchy beat is a verycool thing. Both bands have a simi-lar pumped up beat which makesthe collaboration smooth. JustAnother Victim, from the sound-track to the movie Judgement Nightcomes in five flavors. Rock mongerswill find the "Album Version," "T -Ray Heavy Metal Jazz Mix" and

"Instrumental"most satisfying.Helmet's PageHamilton andHouse OfPain's Everlastdeliver a fear-some array oflyrics addingto the dement-ed rough edgesound of theCD. JustAnother Victimis an intenselisten.

SPIN DOCTORSJimmy Olsen's Blues(Epic)If Perry White heard thishe'd scream, "GreatCaesar's ghost!" Inspired bythat cub reporter for theDaily Planet and infusedwith the same spirit as"Little Miss Can't BeWrong," this hot outfit hasspun themselves anotherwinner.

4 NON BLONDESSpaceman

(Interscope/Allantic)Among the newest groupsto prove real hits can't bedenied, evidenced by thesuccess of "What's Up." Ittook months of convincingprogrammers, but the pub-lic had the final say. Lift-offshould be somewhat fasterthis time.

BRUCE HORNSBYFields Of Gray (RCA)Think artistic excellenceand Bruce Hornsby is oneof the first names thatcomes to mind. Parents canrelate to the song that hewrote for his two sons. Hismessage? During life's upsand downs, those "fields ofgray," he'll always be thereto support them.

MICA PARISWhisper A Prayer(Island/PLG)Just getting started atUrban, Mica (pronounceMee-shuh) will no doubtget plenty of attention atA/C and Top 40 with thismoving ballad. She brings aspecial sensitivity to everyphrase of the lyric, which isconnected to a beautifulmelody. The song's videois also superb.

PRINCEPink Cashmere (PaisleyPark/Warner Bros.)So we've gone from"Purple Rain" in the '80s to"Pink Cashmere" in the'90s. The same hauntingappeal of the title songfrom his hit movie iswrapped around this latestrelease.

Albums

JOHN MELLENCAMPHuman Wheels

(Mercury)Domestic violence, deepphilosophy, paradoxicallove relationships and scat-tered Christian images areall par for the emotionalobstacle course of a newJohn Mellencamp effort.John's sound is still dousedwith electric/acoustic con-tradictions. Lisa Germano'sglissando violin and man-dolin riffs weave a Celticblend into a sound stewcommandeered by MikeWanchic's fanning electricguitar and Kenny Aronoff sbelligerent pounding drums.The most rockin' track isthe first single, "What If ICame Knocking," the mostsocially poignant is "Case795" (the beds are made/butthere's no sheets on) and themost lyrically crafted is"Human Wheels."

-KEITH ZIMMERMAN

HOLLY COLE TRIODon't Smoke In Bed(Manhattan)Singer Holly Cole givesJazz/A' and the fringes of A'something different tocroon over. Backed only bygrand piano and acousticbass, menthol vocalist Colecuts a cozy cabaret ambi-ence. Yet she isn't exclu-sively mired in Rodgers andHart, or the traditional sup-per club style. "Get Out OfTown," with its hauntingharmonica cameo by ex-Flecktone Howard Levy,takes Holly's chanteusedemeanor to contemporaryheights. You can hear pinsdrop between minimalarrangements as Cole affix-

es her sophisticated stampon diametrical standardslike "I Can See ClearlyNow" and "The TennesseeWaltz."

-KEITH ZIMMERMAN

BETH NIELSENCHAPMANYou Hold The Key

(Reprise)Even before you take amicroscope to the lyric,Beth Nielsen Chapman'swork attracts your attentionby the strength of eachsong's engraved melodies.The Chapman magic is awonderful composite oflyrically intriguing scenariosset to instantly comfortable,melodic plots. They're sungwith the kind of flexible,tone -true voice that contra-dicts the conventional wis-dom that great songwriters

are not particularly goodsingers. I'll settle for no lessthan four singles off thisdisc and my nominationsare "I Don't Know," "YouHold The Key," a duet withPaul Carrack on "In TheTime It Takes" and thealready -a -hit single "TheMoment You Were Mine."Also worthy of special con-sideration are the set's mostpotent moment, the embit-tering drama of "Rage OnRage" and the blissed-outlove song, "Dance With MeSlow." -RON FELL

GARTH BROOKSIn Pieces (Liberty)For Jay Leno's first nightagainst David Letterman, heknew he had to get thehottest star in music. He

didn't have to think hard tocome up with Garth-theman has sold more than 31million units, and his sixthalbum is now exploding offthe shelves. Brooks had ahand in many of the cutshere, including the album(and show) opener"Standing Outside The Fire,"the smokin' ode to teenagesex "Ain't Going Down (`TilThe Sun Comes Up)," andtwo story -songs, "The NightI Called The Old Man Out,"and "The Night Will OnlyKnow." Songwriter TonyArata ("The Dance") showshis humourous side with"Kickin' and Screamin'" inwhich Garth has a lot of fundoing his best Lyle Lovettimpersonation. Brooksdecided to cover an over-looked New Grass Revivalsong, "Callin' Baton Rouge,"and convinced the hand tore -unite for the recording.The crowd singalong comesin the form of the blue-col-lar anthem "AmericanHonky-Tonk BarAssociation."

-CYNDI HOELZLE

MAVIS STAPLESThe Voice (PaisleyPark/Warner Bros.)Mavis couldn't ask for a bet-ter time to release her sec-ond CD, The Voice onPrince's Paisley ParkRecords. Imagine an accu-mulation of the cool flavagrooves that Prince and hisassociates have come upwith over the years and jamthem into almost 54 minutesof rousing performances byMavis Staples. No matterwhat mood you find your-self in Mavis does itall...gospel, funk, R&B andhip -hop. Liner notes andcredits reveal a smorgas-bord of talent that makesthe whole project evensweeter. If you must pinme to highlights on the CD,I suggest the title track,"The Voice," "House InOrder," "Blood Is ThickerThan Time," "You Will BeMoved," "Kain't Turn Back,"and "I'll Be Right There."
