Pearls Before Swine – These Things Too

$15.00

“By the time of their third LP, Pearls Before Swine’s mainstay Tom Rapp hadn’t changed much in his approach. He was still singing inscrutable folk-rock-psychedelic songs with a crackly lisp, with melodies that were pleasant but didn’t really stick in the memory. The chief difference, if any, was that by this point Pearls Before Swine was less of a group and more a front for Rapp working with various other musicians. Only Wayne Harley remained from the lineup on the first album; the drums, in fact, were handled by esteemed jazz veteran Grady Tate. Perhaps working for a major label allowed for more time in honing the arrangements, which employed horns, strings, celeste, lugubrious orchestration, periodic odd sound effects, and some backup vocals by Elisabeth Rapp. At times, Rapp sounded almost normal, as on the cover of Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released” (the only non-original) and the easygoing country-rock of “If You Don’t Want To.”” – allmusic.com
