I'm So Confused

I'm So Confused (1998) more music like this

by Jonathan Richman

Ric Ocasek steps in to produce a lush-sounding record for Jonathan Richman, employing quirky keyboards, percussive effects and background vocalists. "Nineteen in Naples" is one of his typical, naive travelogues: "When I was 19, I went across the pond and I found myself in the demimonde." But his charming nasal voice seems to have all but ...

Her Mystery Not of High Heels and Eye Shadow

Her Mystery Not of High Heels and Eye Shadow (2001) more music like this

by Jonathan Richman

Jonathan Richman's 19th album doesn't sport the raw passion of his debut with the Modern Lovers, nor does it showcase his vastly underestimated songwriting skills as superbly as prior solo albums like I, Jonathan and You Must Ask The Heart. It's just another exploration of the lovable troubadour's longstanding obsessions: the places he's been ( ...

Jonathan, Te Vas a Emocionar!

Jonathan, Te Vas a Emocionar! (1994) more music like this

by Jonathan Richman

Although Richman's vocals have intermittently slipped into foreign tongues for years, Jonathan, Te Vas a Emocionar! is still a surprise: entirely sung in Spanish, the record is a charmer, transcending the language barrier with ease. Along with a few new originals and a handful of traditional Mexican tunes, the album primarily consists of loose ...

Jonathan Goes Country

Jonathan Goes Country (1990) more music like this

by Jonathan Richman

The Skeletons' Lou Whitney and D. Clinton Thompson as well as a number of seasoned session vets join Richman as he ventures into Nashville territory. The material consists of a batch of originals, a few covers and a couple of old songs reworked from 1983's Jonathan Sings! The music's country affectations are entertaining without being gimmicky, ...

Not So Much to Be Loved as to Love

Not So Much to Be Loved as to Love (2004) more music like this

by Jonathan Richman

Jonathan Richman has been slowly but surely maturing, which nearly 30 years after the first Modern Lovers album shouldn't be much of a surprise, but it is a wee bit startling to hear the guy who wrote "Ice Cream Man" and "Chewing Gun Wrapper" finally sounding like a full-fledged adult with the advent of the 21st century. Released in 2004, Not So ...

Modern Lovers 88

Modern Lovers 88 (1988) more music like this

by Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers

One of his better '80s efforts, and certainly one of the most basic, performed in an acoustic trio format. It's nonetheless quite rocking, with heavy debts to doo wop and Bo Diddley rhythms, and a jolly (though not sappy) summertime campfire feel. Some of his best uptempo tunes are here, including "I Love Hot Nights," "California Desert Party," ...

Surrender to Jonathan

Surrender to Jonathan (1996) more music like this

by Jonathan Richman

Surrender to Jonathan was Richman's return to a major label, and he constructed the album as a showcase of his finest, or at least most notorious, songs of the early '90s. "Egyptian Reggae" and "I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar" are hauled out of the woodwork and given moderately polished reworkings by Andy Paley. Even with the slicker sound, ...

Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers

Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers (1977) more music like this

by Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers

Richman's second collection of Modern Lovers, over which he was billed (eventually, the group name would be dropped) had a lighter rock & roll sound than the first. In fact, as often as not, Richman played acoustic guitar. And his lyrical concerns had similarly lightened up, to the point of childlike whimsy on such songs as "Hey There Little ...

Back in Your Life

Back in Your Life (1979) more music like this

by Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers

Sweet, fun, and honest aptly describe this 1979 long-player by Jonathan Richman. And while some singers badly fumble at being innocently possessed, Richman keeps it all engaging with his unbridled enthusiasm, wit, and crack songs. This was Richman's first solo venture since forming the Modern Lovers in the early '70s, and the newfound freedom ...

Live From 6A: Late Night With Conan O'Brien

by Various Artists

Live from 6A: Late Night with Conan O'Brien compiles 12 previously unreleased musical performances from the late-night variety show. The show's musical tastes tend toward the quirky and adventurous side of alternative rock -- O'Brien himself prefers rockabilly and Jonathan Richman, who is indeed showcased here -- and this collection is ...

I, Jonathan (1992) more music like this

by Jonathan Richman

A lo-fi effort cut in a California basement, I, Jonathan returns Richman to the full band setting and manic diversity that recent conceptual efforts have forsaken. Sloppy and wild, the album is a blast from start to finish; among its many concerns are skydiving ("Tandem Jump"), sea life (the surf instrumental "Grunion Run"), nightclubbing ("I Was ...

You Must Ask the Heart (1995) more music like this

by Jonathan Richman

The ambitious You Must Ask the Heart is Richman's most consistent effort in years; produced with clarity by Brennan Totten, the album is a neat summation of the singer's recent history, ranging in tone from the pensive ("To Hide a Little Thought") to the silly ("Vampire Girl") and spanning in style from country (the title track) to Spanish ( ...

Radio show host John Peel is known for his great taste in music and open forum for musicians to showcase their music. This compilation of Sub Pop artists performing songs on his British radio program is a great example of the strong performances he can get in his studio setting. Mudhoney starts with the magnificent "By Her Own Hand," a dark ...

Because Her Beauty Is Raw and Wild (2008) more music like this

by Jonathan Richman

Jonathan Richman closes his 20th album, 2008's Because Her Beauty Is Raw and Wild, with "As My Mother Lay Lying," a simple, emotionally powerful song in which he sings about sitting with his mother as she hovered near death in a home for the elderly, and how much he continued to learn from her even in her final moments. It's a singular piece of ...

Roadrunner, Roadrunner: The Beserkley Collection (2004) more music like this

by Jonathan Richman/Modern Lovers

While Jonathan Richman has recorded for lots of different record labels over the years, both big and small, any fan of his music has to acknowledge the smarts and vision of the tiny Berserkley label, who for many years before the notion of "indie rock" had gained currency were willing to give Richman and his unusual (many would say "strange") ...

Live [Bonus Track] (2006) more music like this

by Jonathan Richman

Live catches Jonathan Richman at the height of his candy-floss novelty period. The music is warm and mild, almost all of it derived from '50s and early-'60s models such as surf idioms and guitar instrumentals. The lyrics are sweet and charming, sure to appeal to fanciful youngsters with visions of ice cream men and little dinosaurs in their heads. ...
