Lescher, Jeff

Larks Of Avon

Second solo album by Jeff Lescher from the legendary Chicago group Green. "I was privileged to listen to test pressings of this album before it came out. My two comments at the time were: "you really lay it all out there on those songs" and "it reminds me of late Pye-era Kinks recordings": melodic, catchy, heart-wrenching, with a little touch of the ramshackle which suits the emotional weight of the songs perfectly - very much more so than a slick sounding production would have (unthinkable). The originals (all but one track are originals) are all excellent, and pack plenty of punch. And the cover of Sandy Denny's epochal masterwork, 'Who Knows Where the Time Goes,' adds a bit of crunch and splash to a classic. A great album."
