█ █
█ Review by Mark Deming █
█ █
█ 1969's Truly Fine Citizen was the last gasp for the original incarnation █
█ of Moby Grape. The departures of guitarist Skip Spence and bassist Bob █
█ Mosley had reduced the once-mighty band to a trio, and sessionman Bob █
█ Moore had to be brought in to fill out the lineup. Columbia Records █
█ decided Moby Grape needed a break from producer and studio collaborator █
█ David Rubinson, and they were sent to Nashville to record with Bob █
█ Johnston, best known for his work with Bob Dylan. Johnston reportedly █
█ began the sessions by announcing the album had to be recorded in a mere █
█ three days, and if the musicians didn't like it they were free to leave. █
█ And Moby Grape were in the midst of an ugly legal dispute with their █
█ manager that resulted in most of the songs on the album being credited █
█ to Tom Dell'ara, their road manager. Given all this, it's a pleasant █
█ surprise that Truly Fine Citizen isn't a disaster -- it's a loose but █
█ amiable set of sunny psychedelic pop-rock with a decided country █
█ influence. Guitarists Peter Lewis and Jerry Miller had already shown █
█ their country leanings on Moby Grape '69, and here it comes to the █
█ forefront with some solid Nashville-style picking, and their harmonies █
█ with drummer Don Stevenson remain one of the highlights of the group's █
█ sound. There are a few good songs on board, including "Looper" (which █
█ had been in the Grape's repertoire since their earliest days), the sunny █
█ "Changes, Circles Spinning" and the title cut, a tribute to a mystic █
█ healer the band had met on the road. But Truly Fine Citizen was █
█ basically a rush job recorded to finish out Moby Grape's contract with █
█ Columbia, and too much of the time that's just what it sounds like, █
█ despite the obvious talent of the musicians, and the jazzy "Love Song, █
█ Pt. Two" and "Now I Know High," which at 6:14 meanders twice as long as █
█ the album's second longest tune, are clear filler on an album that's █
█ barely over a half-hour long. Moby Grape were still capable of making a █
█ good album when they cut Truly Fine Citizen, but they scarcely had the █
█ opportunity to demonstrate that. [Truly Fine Citizen had never been █
█ available on compact disc when it was reissued by Sundazed Music in 2007 █
█ in a remastered and expanded edition. Bob Irwin's new master flatters █
█ the album's straightforward production, and seven bonus tracks have been █
█ added to the song list. As one might expect from an album cut in three █
█ days, there are no outtakes from Truly Fine Citizen available; instead, █
█ the disc closes out with three excellent live tunes recorded in 1968, █
█ and a demo for "Seeing," which the group recorded on Moby Grape '69. █
█ These four cuts all appeared on the out of print Moby Grape compilation █
█ Vintage, but three additional performances exclusive to this release are █
█ also included -- demos of "Looper," "Soul Stew," and "Tongue-Tied," █
█ appearing under its original title, "Cockatoo Blues." A fine liner essay █
█ by Gene Sculatti and quality packaging make for an unexpectedly glossy █
█ reissue of an album with an understandably spotty reputation, though █
█ it's genuinely better than its usually given credit for.] █
