▀▀ ▀ ░ ░ ▀ ▀▀
The very existence of a combination career
retrospective/tribute album to Daniel
Johnston, one of the great underground
successes in the annals of independent
music, presents a paradox: The same
universal acknowledgement of honesty in
his music that so often leads to an
intense personal association with
Johnston's oeuvre also invariably leads to
an almost possessively purist attitude
toward most of his work. It's ironic that
a man often described as "the most
unpretentious artist of our generation"
has, in displaying no discernible artifice
in his music, inspired a type of deep-felt
admiration amongst his devotees that
approaches exclusive worship.
Johnston never wanted to be mythologized;
he only wanted others to share and
experience the music that he created so
honestly and prolifically. His earliest
career success resulted from handing out
free cassettes of his home recordings
(including the recently re-released Songs
of Pain and More Songs of Pain) to anyone
who wanted them, and whisperings of his
mental instability, childish fetishes, and
mysterious home life aided his rapid rise
to local, and subsequently national,
celebrity. But if a certain percentage of
his following initially consisted of
scenester rubberneckers intrigued by the
possibility of an "outsider" peepshow,
such sentiment has been gradually stamped
out by the sheer quality and magnitude of
Johnston's career output. It's no surprise
that many contributors fervently praise
his work in the album's liners, and
comparably safe interpretations of
Johnston's material would be a reasonable
defense mechanism for most artists to
embrace.
There is, of course, a nagging suspicion
that, given uninhibited freedom of
expression and access to high fidelity
recording equipment, many popular artists
might actually improve on some of
Johnston's originals, which were often
recorded in embryonic stages of the
songwriting process, and were sometimes
melodically hindered by the same lo-fi
recording techniques that simultaneously
made the songs so endearing. It turns out,
though, that most artists meet Johnston
somewhere in the middle, extending and
expanding his raw musical ideas while
supplanting his inimitable delivery with
their own established voices. The
resulting covers, combined with a second
disc of the originals, form a
kaleidoscopic portrait of a challenging
and beloved songwriter, constructed
earnestly by the many artists touched and
influenced by his music.
Teenage Fanclub & Jad Fair's opener "My
Life Is Starting Over Again" is a dead
ringer for Johnston's weary assertion of
renewal, and establishes a pattern of
tactful mimicry employed frequently on the
album-- particularly by low-profile
artists. Prominent artists are inherently
more recognizable, but are usually
tasteful in their choices. Beck's "True
Love Will Find You in the End" translates
the underlying sadness of Johnston's naked
optimism into home-fried Sea Change-style
country. Guster racks up a few needed
points of indie cred with a sunny cover of
"The Sun Shines Down on Me", and The
Flaming Lips & Sparklehorse predictably
cut straight to the charming naivete of
"Go", one of Johnston's most endearing
ballads.
The only tracks that substantially falter
are either overly ambitious or fail to
adequately recognize Johnston's music on
its own terms. In the former category,
Death Cab for Cutie stumbles with an
overlong version of "Dream Scream"-- Ben
Gibbard is situated too far to the
"adorable" side of Johnston's
naive/disturbed dichotomy, and his sweet
vocal interpretation unwisely eschews
Johnston's creepy heavy breathing for
genuine boyish charm. Calvin Johnson
simply approaches "Sorry Entertainer" from
the wrong angle: His decision to remove
the song's crucial hook-- a demonic
jack-in-the-box "Peter Gunn" riff-- robs
it of its propulsive nervous energy. TV on
the Radio take a major risk tackling the
immortal "Walking the Cow", and
unfortunately, fall flat. Tunde Adebimpe's
multi-tracked vocals and tepid falsetto
interpretation of the song's climax
("Really don't know how I came here/
Really don't know why I'm staying here"),
along with a plodding piano approximation
of Johnston's furiously ham-fisted chord
organ arrangement, pale in comparison to
the original's vivid starkness.
Several tracks, however, come close to
surpassing the limited scope of their
progenitors. Clem Snide turns "Don't Let
the Sun Go Down on Your Grievience" into a
breezy pop number without sacrificing the
song's complex fusion of Christian guilt
and spiritual affirmation. Bright Eyes'
"Devil Town" captures the central
despondency of Johnston's paranoid vampire
fantasy, while fleshing out the original a
cappella arrangement with spacious
alt-country flourishes. And Tom Waits adds
his own blown-out ape shrieks and guttural
blues delivery to Johnston's sprawling
film synopsis/personal analysis "King
Kong", striking the perfect balance
between the two artists' distinctly
separate but comparably mythological
personas.
The album concludes with the previously
unreleased "Rock This Town", from
Johnston's upcoming Lost & Found. The
track is Johnston's own telling assessment
of his general worth as an artist: In the
song, Johnston takes his guitar to the
"heavy metal store," preaches the Golden
Rule, and is promptly dubbed the "laugh of
the human race." However, Discovered,
Covered squarely refutes his emblematic
self-deprecation. That Daniel Johnston's
music has sincerely moved so many notable
artists is a stunning testament to the
undeniable power of his life's work,
which, contrary to the compilation's
sardonic title, continues to inspire new
generations of followers.
