John Cunningham: 1998-2002 by John Cunningham - DeepRiffs

COMPILATION

John Cunningham: 1998-2002 is the reissue of two out-of-print Cunningham albums, 1998’s Homeless House and 2002’s Happy-Go-Unlucky. The British singer-songwriter has never had much commercial luck outside of France, but critics have noted how his acoustic ballads are reminiscent of Robert Wyatt, Talk Talk, Nick Drake, Brian Wilson, Elvis Costello and Martin Phillips of the Chills. Homeless House is an album of quiet desperation; the tunes are virtually whispered. Even when the full band shows up for “Taming the Family,” it’s as if the band is performing in a closet. The sweet piano drip of “What About Now” and the elliptical swoon of “Infinity is Ending” gently segue into Happy-Go-Unlucky where the skipping piano of “Can’t Get Used to This” and the gently finger-picked croon of “It Isn’t Easy” extend Cunningham’s artistic winning streak. “Invisible Lives” could be a tragic summation of Cunningham’s career to date. Hopefully, these reissues will rectify this inexplicable situation. These albums are filled with gentle, touching moments that fans of sweet, introspective pop music will surely one day recognize.
