CD ReviewsMusic in smiles Bob Wilkinson | Coventry, W. Midlands Great Britain | 06/08/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is a wonderful album from the self-acknowledged eccentric and eclectic musician who was in part responsible for bringing summer into English music and the head spaces of those who participated in the 70's carnival atmosphere. Those critics who use labels such as 'inconsistent' are seeking regularities which Ayers and others perhaps consciously ignored. This album speaks volumes for the craft and talent of the likes of Kevin Ayers, Mike Oldfield and David Bedford. Stranger in Blue Suede Shoes remains one of the best songs to come from the rich catalogue of Kevin Ayers. The other tracks bring texture and warmth, anticipation and drama. It is a shame that Joy of a Toy is no longer available. Whatevershebringswesing has to be the perfect alternative. Beg, borrow or steal." A Last Gasp Of Hippiedom Bob Wilkinson | 04/11/2000 (3 out of 5 stars) "I like Kevin Ayers. Not much of a voice, and his songs are pretty simple, but he has charm. Kind of boozy and woozy. I actually think his songs on the Cale-Eno-Nico-Ayers live set "June 1, 1974" are the best songs. "Stranger In Blue Suede Shoes," track six here, is quite likely the only Kevin Ayers song you need be familiar with. I too do not agree with the amazon review person that "Stranger" is sub-Velvet Underground. It's kind of like John Cale imitating Ray Davies or something. Anyway, it's a good song. But "whatevershebrings..." is not well-produced; in fact, it sounds pretty dated. But, like I said, I like Kevin Ayers and this is a charming effort despite its flaws. If we can venerate Nick Drake we ought to at least leave the door open for Kevin Ayers to come in a have a drink on us." Graeme Kay, have you really listened to this album? Marcos Henrique | Piraju, SP Brazil | 07/27/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album is fantastic, although this guy didn't like it. "Stranger In a Blue Suede Shoes" is an excellent song, and it's absolutely not a sub-Velvet Underground tune. "Song From a Bottom of a Well" is a masterpiece. "Champagne Cowboy Blues", "There Is Loving Among Us-There Is Loving" and the title track are masterpieces too. This is easily the best Kevin Ayer's work."
