Michael Franks – The Music In My Head [2019]

70歳を過ぎても安心のフランクス印


今回のアルバムは５人のプロヂューサーにそれぞれが抜擢したミュージシャンが参加・・でも大丈夫ですよ、安心してください、どの曲もフランクスさんです。
曲のタイトル通りのイメージだったり、はたまたイメージとは違う感触だったりと、フランクスさんの頭にある音楽イメージを具現化しているので、自分の思ってた内容との差を感じるのも良かろう？？
"Bluebird Blue"はイメージ通りだけど、"Bebop Headshop"は結構違ってたりして・・ううむ。
もう少し、ピアノやアコギを多く取り入れても良かったかなぁ・・個人的な希望ですが・・
なんにしても、メンツが異なってもマイケル・フランクスはいつでも変わらないのであります・
ダッツ・・・いぶし銀
