Foreigner’s Jones WiRRD
by Scott McCullar
to release solo LP
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mick Jones, a founder of For
eigner in 1976 and writer of the
group’s many hits, has made his first
solo album, titled “Mick Jones.”
He’d like to tour, he says, “to get
myself pumped up a bit to go into
the studio with Foreigner again. We
haven’t done that for a while.”
As a matter of fact, Foreigner,
whose last big tour was in 1985, al
most disbanded. Jones says, “The
end was prepared but not an
nounced.”
Then, he says, they got together at
Atlantic Records’ 40tn anniversary
concert last year.
“We decided we had a blast. We
did a short tour of Australia and Ja
pan, to test it out. That provided us
with the basis to sort of rebuild on.”

Adventures In Cartooning
by Don Atkinson
Overall, Indigo Girls put on an en
joyable show that stayed soft and
mellow in sound, but roared in con
viction and substance. Ray is espe
cially impressive with a booming
voice that never falls short on the
melody. She is just as captivating
singing a cappella as she is with two
guitars and .Sabers accompanying.
My only real complaint of the
night was the handling of the light
system, an archaic set of eight lights
that alternated between white, red,
blue, and yellow. Apparently they
were meant to reinforce the mood of
the songs, but were instead ex
tremely annoying and quite distract
ing. In such cases, whether it was In
digo Girl’s or Town Hall’s system,
attempts at special effects should be
saved for budgets that can capitalize
on them.
After their impressive perfor
mance, Sabers and Ray are on to
Memphis, where they will play two
shows. They also announced that
they will be re-releasing their
Strange Fire album on Epic later this
year. Judging by their performance
Saturday night. Indigo Girls seem
ready to take their place at the foref
ront of the modem folk movement.
New college rock albums serve
interesting slice of Americana
By John Righter
Of The Battalion Staff
Grapes Of Wrath
Now And Again
Capitol
Now And Again should be titled Let’s Play It
Again. The Anton Fier-produced album is a
great collection of’60s nostalgia.
I can listen to “All The Things I Wasn’t” and
imagine Paul Simon at the microphone and im
mediately envision a young Bob Dylan on “What
Was Going Through My Head.” “Do You Want
To Tell Me?” would have sounded great by the
Byrds; and hey — isn’t that Todd Rundgren
singing and playing piano on “I’m Gone.”
Well maybe I’m getting carried away, but the
fact is that Now And Again is better than a Time-
Life retrospective album.
Actually the album is well orchestrated, show
casing Kevin Kane’s rich melodies and acoustical
handiwork. Kane and bassist/vocalist Tom
Hooper add a rich texture to the quiet ambience
that flows throughout the mostly acoustic album,
regretfully ignoring drummer Chris Hooper.
Now And Again adds to the current stream of
’60s revitalization that has appeared in the likes
of REM, Edie Brickell and New Bohemians and
the Cowboy Junkies. The album flows extremely
well, maintaining a serene peace, and showcases
some excellent work, both musically and lyrically
by Kane.
Unfortunately, the Grapes Of Wrath sacri
ficed some of the spunk and originality of earlier
efforts like Treehouse that had set them apart as
one of America’s top college bands.
Hopefully on the next round the Grapes can
find a formula that combines the flavor of Tree-
house with the nostalgia of Now And Again.
Key Lime Pie
Virgin Records
Key Lime Pie is Camper Van Beethoven’s per
verse view of America — the kind of absurd tran
quility you would expect from listening to a Paul
Harvey monologue while on Valium.
The Santa Cruz-based band barely misses a
beat without founding member Jonathon Segel
(he played all the nifty instruments like it
strings, casio, mandolin, citern) who left the bar.
