The Bevis Frond: Nick Salomon (vocals, various instruments).
Additional personnel: Country Joe McDonald.
British psychedelic phenomenon Nick Saloman was riding the crest of acclaim as the '90s were ending, his renown rekindled by Stateside performances, a fresh domestic label deal, and the successful "Terrastock" festivals--massive neo-psychedelic gatherings held under the aegis of his "occasional" publication, The Ptolemaic Terrascope. In the glow of such attention, Saloman and his one-man enterprise the Bevis Frond released three of its finest albums in as many years. That's no mean feat when one considers that the mighty Frond has been setting the standard for modern psychedelia since 1988's classic MIASMA.
The 78-minute VAVONA BURR covers the expected Frond assortment of acid-flavored folk-rock anthems ("Leave a Light On," "Let it Ride," "Looks Like Rain," "In Her Eyes"), garage rave-ups ("National Drag"), NUGGETS-worthy three-minute pop dazzlers ("Couldn't Care Less," "Almost Like Being Alive"), and smoldering Hendrix-styled workouts ("Begging Bowl," "Temple Falls"). Saloman is a musician of limitless imagination and ability, a master of the wry lyric, and an ace pop-smith as well. Here he reins in his occasionally vision-obscuring excesses and offers one of his most memorable sets to date, highlighted by the stoned Steve Miller Band-like cool of "Don Lang," and the Rhodes-and-sitar-stoked ache of "Caught in the Headlights."
