4 out of 5 stars Newell Shines Again.......2002-04-10

Martin Newell might be the most famous pop star who isn't famous. Cherry Red Records, who handle Newell's British distribution, have another gem on their hands from the Wildman of Wivenhoe.

Newell may be familiar to most as the Pop Poet of the Independent, but his real wayward genius lies in his songs. Crafted with skill and measured irreverence, he never takes himself too seriously. "The Beer Elves" and "A Woman And Some Whisky" showcase Newell at his Bloke-Inna-Pub best, while the more serious songs, such as "The Wicked Witch" and "Sailing to America" are in league with the best of his work with the Cleaners From Venus.

Among the poppy songs (and there are many) on the album, "Beat Street" and "Life As A Broken Doll" are the two that should be runaway hit singles but never will be, Newell shunning such frippery. As a special treat, tracks 13-18 are spoken-word, with Martin excerpting from his recent memoir, "This Little Ziggy".
