Neil & Tim Finn

[CRAZY-HORSE]

TIM FINN "big canoe" 1985.

like all truly great artists there are bound to be very average albums...and the Finn Brothers are no exception to the rule.
although this is a stronger album lyrically to the previous one and Tim's vocals are very good as usual, what lets this one down nowadays are those horrible electronic 1980s drum sounds, it let the last album down by several points and does the same here...probably due to the fact that Tim had relocated to London at this stage and was absorbing the UK sounds of the day.
and although it lacks the several catchy tunes of the first album it is a more mature effort, especially the lovely ballad "so deep", which unfortunately there is no link for...and again there are several fillers on this one by Finn's standards.
