The Mutton Birds She's Been Talking/ He Turned Around/ Inbetween Man (EMI, 1997)
Don McGlashan is the main man of The Mutton Birds.
A talented musician - he's been in a few seminal N.Z. bands - Blam Blam Blam and Front Lawn. I especially liked the humour of Front Lawn - a kind of precursor to Flight Of The Conchords.
He's a nice guy too. He and I were once doing the same English papers at Auckland University back in the late 1970's, early 1980's.
She's Been Talking is a typical catchy Mutton Birds song and Don's distinctive tones are a lovely feature.
Hidden Gem: He Turned Around is absent from the parent album Envy Of Angels.
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence - ROBERT FRIPP. Information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not beauty; beauty is not love; love is not music; MUSIC IS THE BEST - FRANK ZAPPA. I think we're a little happier when we have a little music in our lives - STEVE JOBS. Music in the soul can be heard by the universe - LAO TZU. Rock and Roll is fire, man. FIRE. - DAVID BRIGGS. Music grips you, gets into your soul - GEORGE MARTIN
