McFerrin's
good, not g
By JEFF CASTLE
Staff writer
One man can be a whole band ? if
that man happens to be Bobby
McFerrin.
On his new album, Simple
Pleasures, McFerrin uses no drums,
no guitars, no brass section, not even
any synthesizers. The only instrument
on this album is McFerrin
himself.
Bobby McFerrin's unusual vocal
talents have been well known in jazz
circles for some time. His ability to
imitate musical instruments first attracted
widespread attention from
several Levi's blue jean commercials
lor which he did the music.
On Simple Pleasures McFerrin
delves into more commercial work
than in any of his past recordings.
This results in a collection of light
rhythm-and-blues-tinged songs that
won't shake up the music world ?
but were not recorded to do so,
either.
Pleasures includes covers of
everyone from the Beatles to Cream
plus four original tunes. The reggaeflavored
groove of "Don't Worry,
Be Happy" and the catchy rhythm of
"All I Want" highlight McFerrin's

'Pleasures'
;reat album
compositions. "Don't Worry, Be
Happy" has quickly broken through
on the airwaves as the album's first
single.
All of the covers are strong with
the exception of "Suzie Q" which
never kicks in and doesn't even come
close to the classic Creedence Clearwater
Revival version. McFerrin's
voice sounds more at home on
"Good Lovin"' and locks into a
solid groove in the bass line.
McFerrin adds just the right
amount of soul to Cream's "Sun
stime of Your Love" and takes away
just enough bombast to make this the
album's best track. McFerrin also
turns in an astounding imitation of
Eric Clapton's fuzz-tone guitar solo
on "Sunshine."
While the songs on Simple
Pleasures are good, the album lacks
one thing. Bobby McFerrin never
pushes that exceptional voice. How
can he not cut loose on just one
song? McFerrin's imitations
fascinate, but he simply never wails
on this album.
Simple Pleasures is Bobby McFerrin's
attempt to break into pop
music. If you buy this album to hear
him sing, you lose.
