▓ ▓
▓ Almost 30 years after the fact, the Water Records ▓
▓ reissue of Melvin Van Peebles' What The....You Mean I ▓
▓ Can't Sing?, originally issued by Atlantic, is a ▓
▓ breath of fresh air. Forget all that blaxploitation ▓
▓ jive (the way this record gets labeled in the ▓
▓ revisionist 21st century), a categorization white ▓
▓ people use to make themselves feel better about ▓
▓ something they can't understand or explain. There ▓
▓ isn't anything kitschy about What The....You Mean I ▓
▓ Can't Sing?. It's hilarious in places, but those ▓
▓ parts are intentional. Van Peebles' record, his first ▓
▓ on which he sang rather than spoke, is as essential ▓
▓ to listen to as Sly Stone's There's a Riot Goin' On. ▓
▓ It was meant to be popular art that never got ▓
▓ popular. Recorded at the height of Watergate madness, ▓
▓ it is a deeply musical, funky masterpiece of rage, ▓
▓ righteous indignation, and soulful killer grooves. ▓
▓ Van Peebles has no less a voice than Bob Dylan or ▓
▓ Leonard Cohen, and it can be argued that on tracks ▓
▓ such as "A Birth Certificate Ain't Nothin' but a ▓
▓ Death Warrant Anyway," "Save the Watergate 500" ("If ▓
▓ the Lord's eye is on the sparrow/What's wrong with ▓
▓ Big Brother watchin' you?"), and "Come On Write Me" ▓
▓ ("I've been cool all that I can stand/I don't wanna ▓
▓ be, hee hee/Who gives a damn? No more...."), he gets ▓
▓ into the gut and gets what's in the lyric across. ▓
▓ That's what a singer is supposed to do, right? ▓
▓ Interpret the material. And Van Peebles, with a ▓
▓ requisite sense of prophecy, humor, and an uncanny ▓
▓ historical accuracy, gets down and does it. There are ▓
▓ two sets of liner notes in the Water reissue set, one ▓
▓ by Chicago critic Mitch Myers and one by Van Peebles ▓
▓ himself where he tells it as he sees it on this album ▓
▓ itself. There is only one problem with this amazing, ▓
▓ wooly, greasy, funky record: there are no musician ▓
▓ credits. Normally this might not be a problem on a ▓
▓ little-known reissue, but the grooves and riffs here ▓
▓ are so gritty, in the pocket, and sweaty that it ▓
▓ would be nice to know who made them. This is urban ▓
▓ music about race and class that pulls no punches and ▓
▓ gives nothing away for free. Highly recommended. ▓
