RECORD REVIEW

OM WAITS does the
‘devil’s work; Kirsty
MacColl wields a-

. velvet hammer.

“Tom Waits — The Black Rider,
island Records 1993

““Once upona time there was
an‘ old forester who lived with his
wife and his daughier. And when
it came time for his daughter, to
marry he chose for her a hunter,
“for he was getting old and he
‘ wanted to maintain his legacy. But
his daughter was in love with .:
‘another and sadly he was not a
~ huntsman,..”"

The German Black Rider folk
“tale i is believed to have its origiri in
“the Gespensterbuch of 1811.

The haunting story carries the 2

theme ofa lover who cuts a tragic _

deal with the devil.’
+: This‘tecording has as its origin
‘an opera premiered in Hamburg
by Robert Wilson and The Thalia
Theatre Of Hamburgin 1990.
'.. William Burroughs wrote the
evocative libretto. He tells the
“+ story with the sure poetic touch of
a master. it’s an obsessive -
‘nightmare’ loaded with engaging
creepiness and cautionary rele-

: “wrote three songs with Burroughs.

TOM WAITS. wrote the music. for: Robert Wilson's” opera The
Black Rider which premiered in Hamburg in 71990. ; ors

nival from hell.

It’s a,demented place where lost
souls bark and wheeze in the
wildwood. As is his way, Waits
gives them voice.

The resulting work fits naturally .
within a musical niche pioneered
earlier this century by Kurt Weil.
Kirsty MacColl — Titanic Days,
§RS Records 1993-

This one sneaks up on you.

MacColl lulls the unwary with
her soothing voice, optimistic

‘melodies and gorgeous ‘string ar-

rangements. Half listening, it
sounds overly carefree and pleas-
ant — MacColl’s in go-go boots
and black fishnet leggings skipping
through MacArthur Park with .
Richard Harris.

It's pretty pop for Now People,
the kind of British treacle Titanic

a weakness for..

But as the title alludes to, the
-best of these tumultuous love
songs share that old sinking feeling
and the fresh perspective that
comes to those gasping for sweet

MacColl soars especially on the
songs co-written with her guitarist
Mar! E. Nevin.
