One of the most unique, if misunderstood, talents to emerge from the vaunted 1980s Los Angeles punk/new-wave era, Stan Ridgway arguably owes more than most to the art-rock and modern jazz which crucially informed that scene. He's shrugged off MTV's stereotyping of his former band Wall of Voodoo to forge a rich, if stubbornly independent, body of solo work, freely retooling his sound and viewpoint along the way. Black Diamond, his 1995 outing (and one of the best, if sorely underappreciated, singer-songwriter albums of the '90s) placed Ridgway in a spare acoustic setting far removed the propulsive synth-sense of The Big Heat, his expressive baritone taking on a new warmth and range. Anatomy is an attempt to move both forward and reconcile the various aspects of his previous work. The stirring, elegiac opener "Mission Bell" adds depth and dimension to Black Diamond's tack, while "Train of Thought," "Susie Before Sunrise," and "Valerie is Sleeping" supplant Ridgway's trademark seamy-side-of-life storytelling with more personal--if oblique--observations, set with confidence against music that freely mixes electronics, acoustic guitar, and his plaintive harmonica. Three surprisingly varied instrumentals cue listeners that Ridgway now splits his time between songwriting and film scoring. Ridgway is a true musical rebel, but one with a rich sense of history and no time for the cheap encumbrances of fashion. --Jerry McCulley

Just a wonderful CD.......2002-12-10

Difficult to wax poetic about music. The person who said that Ridgway is the Dashiell Hammett of music was on target. Every song on this CD is great, and they are excellently organized. Start with Mission Bell and keep listening.

The Movie Continues: Stan's Best (So Far).......2000-09-22

"Anatomy" is another incredible soundtrack for the underbelly of America. Stan is the most under rated songwriter on this side of the Atlantic, with 12 new examples that labor the point.

The cover art is a nod to film scoring, with a nice take/update of the jacket for Duke Ellington's "Anatomy Of A Murder" soundtrack, by way of the graphics used in the TV show "The Wild Wild West."

The two tracks pulled from the "Film Songs" EP sound a bit better here. "Susie Before Sunrise" sounds a little more crisp, while "Deep Blue Polka Dot" (aka "Deep Inside We're Blue") gets a bit of a remix.

The use of instrumental interludes are perfected on this record. You can almost see the betrayal (A desparate kiss? Or maybe a tired sunrise) during "Murray's Steakhouse Story," while "Mickey The Priest" is an absolutely creepy interlude, bringing "Valerie Is Sleeping" and "Mama Had A Stove" together brilliantly. The triptych works well as a companion to Richard Thompson's "Killing Jar," while "Sixteen Tons" is going to stand as the definitive read for a long, long time.

A five star rating for a six star record.

"Maybe someday you'll finally reveal / something you stole, or something you'll steal."

Anatomy.......2000-06-23

Stan Ridgway's new album continues his string of wonderful songs with lyrics that help you escape from everyday life. THis album would make an excellent purchase for any true music lover.

Stan Ridgway - masterful storyteller.......2000-06-15

Ridgway continues his spinning of tales & stories in a slightly off-beat, slightly twisted way. The balance of upbeat tunes here and slow ballads show great compsition of the CD itself (somewhat rare these days). Anyone looking for an intelligent, slightly offbeat, contemporary singer-songwriter-type CD will love this.

vintage Hugh Martin score a complete delight.......2004-12-23

LOVE FROM JUDY, based on Jean Webster's novel 'Daddy Long Legs', is pure vintage Hugh Martin. The show never made it to Broadway, instead enjoying a sold-out London season and an extensive provincial tour.

Jean Carson played Jerusha Abbott, an orphan at the John Grier Home who is mysteriously supported by a never-named benefactor. June Whitfield, Johnny Brandon, Adelaide Hall and Bill O'Connor round out the strong leading cast. Barbara Windsor played one of the orphans (for some interesting backstage reminisces about LOVE FROM JUDY check out Barbara Windsor's autobiography 'All of Me').

The Hugh Martin-Jack Gray score is quite lovely from what is featured on this disc (the recordings were originally designed to fit 4 sides of a set of 78's). LOVE FROM JUDY runs a scant 20 minutes, so the disc has been filled out with extensive bonus material.

We get Jean Carson singing "A Kiss to Build a Dream On", "Hug Me a Hug" and "Barrels and Barrels of Roses" (on the 2 former tracks she's joined by her then-husband Bill Lowe); Johnny Brandon singing 5 numbers including his mega-hit "Glow Worm"; and Adelaide Hall singing 2 great numbers. June Whitfield sings 5 numbers including two songs from GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES!

There are also selections from the Frank Loesser score of HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN; and a full-cast presentation of numbers from Disney's PETER PAN (both feature Jean Carson and Johnny Brandon).

Dynomite! Uptight! & Out of site!.......2000-02-18

Smoking, searing, thick and creamy Texas rocking blues in the finest lone star state tradition.The Fabulous T'birds meet SRV with a little Johnny Winter on the side. If you like your blues rocking with that Texas edge, BUY THIS CD!

Good stuff!.......1999-06-04

I'm a big fan of groups like ZZ Top, SRV, and the like. This stuff hits just the right spot. When does the next one come out?

What a rush!!.......1999-05-27

These guys are great. Not only is the sound awesome, they are are one of the few bands out there that play because they love to play. It looks like I'll be a lifelong fan!!

Product Description

The band has alot of the blues standards you will immediately recognize and love. From "Early In The Morning" to "Caldonia" to "Flip, Flop and Fly," they're all here and well played. "Credit Card Shuffle" is a great blues tune with an awesome lyric. It's sense of humor shows up right in the title, it's not only a musical "shuffle" but it's also about "shuffling" one credit card to pay off another one (you know you've done that). The Voodoo Deville band is: Cliff Stackonis (vocals and harp), Brian Preston (guitar), Ray Bentley (bass), John Goodling (drums), Steve Cocchi (keyboards), George Dulchinos (guitar) and Buddy "Pops" Cleveland (vocals and harp) 1. I Can Tell 2. Help Me 3. Credit Card Shuffle 4. Early in the Morning 5. Caldonia 6. Thank You Baby 7. Bad Case of Love 8. Jambalaya 9. Too Young To Die 10. Mess Around 11. Flip Flop and Fly 12.
