EARLY BRAZIL PRESSING LP - STEREO

Caetano Veloso "Caetano Veloso" (Philips, 1971) 
(Produced by Lou Reizner & Ralph Mace)
An interesting, if underwhelming, album -- some consider this a classic, others may find it slow going. On this brooding English-languge travelogue of his European exile, Caetano wallows in it a bit, though a few tunes, particularly "London, London" and "Maria Bethania," are memorable. Veloso is working under several liabilities -- for starters, he's rather depressed, and his ability to express himself is limited by his unfamiliarlity with English. Also, he is far, far away from his usual musical collaborators, and has to make due with well-intentioned British folkies, who don't *quite* get where he's going (or where he's been!) Still, this holds up reasonably well when compared to other space-folkies of the time, such as Tom Rush, Nick Drake or Tim Hardin. At the album's end, Caetano throws in a slow, doleful, Portuguese-language cover version of Luiz Gonzaga's classic, "Asa Branca," the album's main nod to both historical and cultural roots. One highlight is the English translation of "Marinheiro So" ("If You Hold A Stone") which he had recorded in Portuguese on his white album -- a lovely tune in either language.
