Harlequin:


I am a big FAN
(FUCK "Nce" & his "fam" bullshit..)
of Wendy & Lisa, I have all 4 of their albums, plus a few (good) tracks not released on these 4 albums, so I'll give you my opinion of their catalogue.


Wendy & Lisa, 1987.
Their 1st album - "post-Revolution" - sounds quite like something they would have done had they still been (actively) recording with Prince.

Overall it's a solid album, if not somewhat predictable. Honeymoon Express & Waterfall are relatively accessible, nice, mid- to up-tempo pop songs. Stay & Song About are the best of the slower, ballad-type songs; the former having a "dreamy", plaintive feel to it, the latter apparently an acknowledgement of the disbandment of the Revolution by you-know-who:

"so strange that no one stayed.. at the end of the Parade.."

The best song on this album is Everything But You, with its "Steely Dan-esque intro, light & flighty yet free-flowing feel to it. It rocks, it floats, it rises, it falls..

The rest of the songs are "alright"; they are either quite clichéd, or they sound like something "Prince would have let W&L do in the studio, on a break between recording sessions".

The b-side to the 12" of Waterfall is the song To Trip Is To Fall, a song they apparently did with Prince; his co-lead vocal is evident throughout the verses & most of the main chorus lines. Somewhat "quirky"-sounding, but still typical of what Prince was doing then- WITH Wendy & Lisa. This track is worth having, if you can find it.

Fruit At The Bottom, 1989.
In most ways, Wendy & Lisa's "funk album" improves on what was established in their 1st release. There is the interesting, "country funk" of Lolly Lolly, followed by the NICE & quite funky Are You My Baby with its almost imposing bassline, followed by the "r&b pop" of Satisfaction, ably assisted by former Time guitarist Jesse Johnson, whose favorite expression MUST be "getalittlesatisfaction"..

There is the melodic (& again, "floating") sound of Forever In My Dreams; the slow, sometimes lumbering (about 2 minutes too long) Tears Of Joy, as well as the "rock-pop" of From Now On (We're One) (as song later covered by Tuck & Patti), & the energetic, nicely blended harmonies of Someday I.

I Think It Was December is a nice, "gospel-influenced" track, probably the best of all the slower tempo numbers, featuring impressive piano stylings of Ms. Coleman.

Fruit At The Bottom is okay as a song, if the very repetitive "fruit at the bottom" refrain at the end of the song doesn't annoy you..

Eroica, 1990.
BY FAR their BEST album of the 4. It was like Wendy & Lisa simply said something like, "FUCK IT, we're not going to 'cater' to anyone on this album but ourselves, & we're going to be ALL OVER THE PLACE on this bad boy..!" At times REALLY funky, at other times decidedly "rock-oriented", this album really has a little bit of everything. In my opinion, there is only 1 "weak" song on this whole album- the drippy, syrupy Don't Try To Tell Me.

The album begins with the (somewhat "quirky") percolating, drum-machine-driven Rainbow Lake, maybe a song that either you really like or really dislike (I happen to really like it). Then there is Strung Out, which meanders a bit with the vocals, but is still funky, & has some, um, interesting harmonies to it. Even funkier is Turn Me Inside Out which has some of my favorite W&L lyrics:

"guess I should have thought twice but I
guess I had no sense at all
can you get to heaven faster
if you build a higher wall?"

&

"for all of you who talk but don't do
you have used up your last I.O.U.
I am telling you because I am through
I get nothing for loving you"
(again, this last set of lines CLEARLY could have been directed to their former bandleader..)

The funkiest song on this album is indeed Skeleton Key, with its horn lines very reminiscent of James Brown, provided by the always talented Eric Leeds. The pluck/slap bass line adds a lot to this song, as do the very percussive drums. The lyrics fit quite well, too. This song is arguably the best W&L have ever recorded & released. It's THAT good.

Lest anyone be worn out by the heavy dose of funk laid out on the tracks mentioned so far, Wendy & Lisa also give up some nice tracks that rock as much as anything this side of Cheryl Crow..

There is Why Wait For Heaven, which sounds a little "overdone" but is still a rather good- if not "cryptic"-sounding piece of pseudo-psychadelic rock.
Another slice of "psychadelic rock" (yes, "psychadelic" is a cliché itself, I know..) is Crack In The Pavement, with its simmering keyboard undertones & its "wah wah" guitar riffs.

The best "rock song" on Eroica is without a doubt Mother Of Pearl, featuring the background singing of k.d. lang. Part acoustic guitar, part "metal" guitar (& a few thing in between), this song.. is simply.. hard to describe; you simply must hear it. This too is probably 1 of those W&L songs that you either really love or really hate. I think it's VERY good.

Porch Swing is maybe the "quirkiest" song on this album, with its buzzing synth lines & twangy guitars. This song-
which may also be referring to the girls' former bandleader-
does kind of drag on for a bit, but it's interesting to listen to, at least a few times.

Valley Vista is nice, essentially a "guitar only" song which reminds me of the Doobie Brothers, of something they might have done in an impromptu "jam session".

Staring At The Sun is a nice, slower tempo song, seemingly nostaligic & optomistic at the same time. The chorus to this song tends to.. stick in your brain..
feel its warm embrace..

Another song was released with the Strung Out (cassette) single: Stones & Birth, which may have been inspired from the line in Why Wait For Heaven. Stones & Birth is, simply put, a cool song with nice percussion accents, insistent synth lines & good "improvised" vocal harmonies towards the end of the song. This 1 is also definitely worth having, if you can find it.

Girl Bros, 1998
This album has a decidedly "darker" feel to it, no doubt in large part to the death of Wendy's brother Jonathan Melvoin in 1996. The pain of their loss PERMEATES this album, there is seldom a chord or a note where you don't feel their loss. This album was probably some sort of "therapy" for Wendy & Lisa, their opportunity to "reconcile" that loss, the most poignant aspects of it.

The closest thing to an "accessible pop song" on this is the nice, wistful, yet laid-back Reaching One which indeed makes reference to Jonathan.

Bring You Back & I've Got A Big Bowl Of Cherries are the next best songs on this album. The former is rather sparse, & reeks of frustration of the loss of Wendy's brother, while the latter showcases Lisa's voice over odd melodies & synth chord progressions. The instrumental part of the last half of Cherries conjures in my mind images of Charlie Brown & the Peanuts gang all holding hands & dancing around in a circle..
This is 1 of the few songs on this album that makes no apparent reference to Jonathan.

All Nite is a "standard" W&L rock song, but the "all nite" chorus, might wear on your nerves.

Let's Say starts off with a very funky rhythm, then cools off into an okay song.

The rest of this somewhat dark, rather murky album-
either you'll dig it or you won't. Definitely a reflective album to put you in- or support a current- somber mood.

Rating: star star star out of 5


so, Harlequin:
if you're going to buy any (or all) of these W&L albums, do it in this order:


1. Eroica
2. Fruit At The Bottom
3. Wendy & Lisa
4. Girl Bros


& if you buy only 1 of these albums, it would DEFINITELY have to be Eroica. Not only is this their best album, but it's 1 of the best I've ever heard.


Enjoy your "journey" digging the music of these 2 very talented musicians, you will very likely find this journey worth its time & effort, you will very likely see how much these 2 women added to Prince's music..
I'll see you tonight..
in ALL MY DREAMS..

Just food for thought, I would buy them in the order they came out so you can hear their progression. If you start at Girl Bros the first couple may sound more dated.
Prince may be the purple Yoda, but Wendy & Lisa and Eric Leeds also sit on the Jedi Council.

There is also a bootleg of Wendy & Lisa's unreleased Friendly Fire album from around '94. It also contains demo versions of songs from Eroica, B-sides and such.

Just thought ya'd like to know. Hope you'll find it if you want it.

And I agree: Eroica is their best album one of my all-time faves. But Girl Bros. is rather good, too, I think. It has an audibly low production cost, but the songs are very melodic and catchy. The song Big Bowl of Cherries is absoultely beautiful. The piano playing makes ya just cry.
