CD ReviewsSopranos Episode 79 Stage 5 Mike Liddell | Massachusetts | 04/16/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "This isn't so much a review just trying to help people find the song evidently chickentown. This is the song that played at the end of the sopranos episode 79 stage 5 april 15th during christophers babys christening. It's not on itunes i did find it on [...] it's the only song i know from these guys 25 bucks is alot of money to spend for one song, i just bought this hopefully when i get it i'll like the rest. I figured though it being different and unique sounding which is pretty rare maybe its worth the money." Dylan/Rotten/Clarke Michael C. Stephens | charlotte, nc, usa | 07/14/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "John Cooper Clarke was part of the last great eruption of brilliance in British music, circa 1976 - 1980. The big front end that touched America was the Pistols, Clash, Costello, Pretenders, but behind the more popular faces of British punk/independent were all kinds of one-of-a-kinds like Ian Dury, X-Ray Spex, Stranglers, Jilted John and John Cooper Clarke. John Cooper Clarke came on like a punk/electronic poet with a Dylan circa BlondonBlond era hairdo & shades. He never hit as big in Britain as other lyrical geniuses like Costello and Dury, perhaps because he was wierder, more psychedelic and also more street. Elvis Costello has written a glowing review of Clarke here on Amazon, so he is obviously a fan. Including JCC's "Chickentown" on one of the last Sopranos episodes may ignite more American interest; it's well deserved. Beasley Street, Cycle Sluts, Chickentown, there's no-one else who rhymes quite like JCC on these gems. JCC was streets ahead of the "Streets" way back in '79. Just buy this, you won't be sorry." Evidently Chickentown A. M. Mchugh | Los Angeles, CA United States | 05/07/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "The song 'Evidently Chickentown' - played on the closing credits of The Sopranos on April 15th, 2007 is a track from John Copper Clarke's 1980 Album 'Snap Crackle & Bop' - now available as a remastered CD (on Amazon). If you liked the song and want to hear more from England's original Punk Poet, I would definitely recommend 'Snap Crackle & Bop'. Read the Amazon description of the CD to get a sense of what JCC is about... politically and socially savvy, sarcastic, wickedly humorous, great beats. I have loved this album since the 1980's, when he was hugely popular with the British punk crowd."
