David Bowie
Comment:
You can take David Bowie out of the ’60s, but — like many of his generation — you can’t take the ’60s out of him. We start off with a cover of the Easybeats’ 1966 hit “Friday On My Mind,” a tune voted the “Best Australian Song” of all time and rendered even more frenetic than the original by the soon-to-be-abandoned Spiders from Mars. Another confirmed shape-shifter with an uncontrollable appetite for novelty gets an appropriately eccentric tribute in the acoustic rocker “Andy Warhol,” which features some captivating dual-guitar interplay between Bowie and Mick Ronson. And fragments of Ray Davies and Burt Bacharach are scattered all over the deceptively simple landscape of “When I Live My Dream,” as Bowie brings a theatrical flair to an airy slice of a pop soufflé that would’ve collapsed in the hands of a less capable singer.
