CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Singer and guitarist Asie Payton died in 1997, leaving one posthumous album, Worried, as his legacy. Or so we thought. He expired at the wheel of his tractor in the fields of Mississippi all right, but his minuscule discography now doubles with the release of this new collection, containing formerly unfinished tracks, mostly from the mid-'90s. (A couple of numbers date back to 1980, when a friend haphazardly taped him in performance at his home quarters.) The record company modernizes the original, rough-hewn settings of Payton's singing and guitar playing with swampy grooves provided by bass, organ, sonic effects, and whatnot. Contrived spells result. More convincing are Payton's unaccompanied, naked displays of distress over busted romance in "Livin' in So Much Pain" and "Why'd You Do It." --Frank-John Hadley Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsHere's The Issue... Jasper | New England | 02/20/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "These started as straight-up Asie Payton recordings. They were rough and tough. Some remain in that form, but others have been tampered with. Though some folks enjoy the results of the tampering, it certainly does not make weakhearts out of those who wanted the pure, ORIGINAL music, AS ASIE PAYTON RECORDED IT. This stuff was raw and real. What Fat Possum did, regardless of whether or not one enjoys it, was to add instrumentation to make the originals more pallatable to modern ears. Now, there is nothing wrong with remixing and adding to the tunes, as long as we can also hear ALL of Asie Payton's rare original recodings as HE HIMSELF performed them. If Fat Possum wants to remix and create new tracks out of the real raw recordings, they should make a longer disc that has ALL of the original straight-up recordings, AS WELL AS the recordings that they've tinkered with. They could also have a double disc set, or two seperate single discs, if need be; one featuring the original untainted recordings, and one the funky remixes/overdubbed stuff.
This whole controversy does not have to exist, and everyone could be made happy with great ease. So don't become upset with other consumers because they want either the pure originals or altered versions, be mad at Fat Possum, because it should be a non-issue." |
