...wonder Jody Reynolds, 75, whose Endless Sleep had a suicide theme and haunting guitar thrum; to Eddy Arnold, 89, country music's chart-topping "Tennessee Plowboy" whose early career was managed by Elvis' Svengali, Col. Tom Parker; to Jerry Reed, 71, the Nashville session guitarist with the foolin'-around grin, who became a country star with When You're Hot, You're Hot, and played Burt Reynolds' rowdy pal in Gator and Smokey and the Bandit; and to Larry Levine, indispensible audio engineer for Phil Spector's Wall of Sound epics and the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds LP. He died...
...love could abandon him with such ease and finality. So Prine, who knows a bit about hurt--he has recently survived cancer of the neck--has called on a few good women (including Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams) to join him in no-frills, no-foolin' duets on 15 country chestnuts. The one new song is Prine's own title tune, a funny, grimy anthem for two misfits who suit each other fine. It says even driving himself to hell, he ought to be able to find some indulgent lady to occupy the passenger seat...
Then the couple had their first dance. The song they chose was Forever in My Life by the artist formerly known as Prince. "There comes a time," the lyrics run, "in ev'ry man's life/ When he gets tired of foolin' around/ Juggling hearts in a three- ring circus/...Forever, forever, baby, I want U forever./ I wanna keep U 4 the rest of my life." Not Ira Gershwin exactly but an apt and amusing sentiment...
...concert hall. Gordon, 35, and Zorn, 33, are both members of Manhattan's explosive avant-garde art-rock scene, reveling in hot-wired Farfisas, electric guitars, saxophones and synthesizers. But, as David Byrne says, this ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around. Gordon's Innocent, a collection of ten tracks, has the electrified, hypnotic, postminimalist drive familiar to mainstream audiences from the Talking Heads, but with a rougher, anarchic bite. Indeed, the album is a Who's Who of the downtown crowd: one song, The Day the Devil Comes to Getcha...
...urinal and a simulated oral- sex act, add more dance and brighten what he admitted was a "melancholy" ending. The score, too, is recycled: standards from the '20s and '30s have been wittily reconsidered by Fosse and bewitchingly orchestrated by Ralph Burns. I've Got a Feelin' You're Foolin' is sung by a judge to two defendants telling an unlikely tale. Everybody Loves My Baby becomes a father's high- energy romp about his infant son. One number is an instant classic: the upbeat Ain't We Got Fun is rendered with icy irony by a prison-yard crew...
