It says a lot about the state of the American music business when one of our own, LA. based pop pundit Jason Falkner has to look to Japan to release his latest pop album, 2007s Im OK Youre OK. Actually, it's not too bad. Jason did release his second Beatles instrumental pop effort Bedtime With The Beatles 2 here in the U.S. in 2008 but his latest pop-rock album hasnt come out Stateside and in the aftermath, it's sort of disappeared amid the shake-up of 2008. Simply, one of the finest pop albums ever to be committed to silver disc, Im OK Youre OK is way more than okay. Its utterly brilliant. As with his earlier albums, Jason plays everything in sight and fitting his mega chops around a set of indelible pop rockers, he simply dazzles in the sonic spectrum. The Japanese Bad News label, distributing Jasons Noise McCartney imprint, has done a great job with their silver disc, adding in an indispensable lyric sheet and a wild looking Japanese insert which also features Jasons track by track liner notes in English and more of his notes on the making of the album. Made over a six year period, Im OK You're OK was finished in 2007 and was thankfully picked up by the Japanese, who in this case are total audiophiles and they did a great job sonically as well. Will Im OK Youre OK come out in America on a big label? Who cares. Pick up the Japanese import CD and youll be in for one of the coolest pop thrills of the triple ohs. www.JasonFalkner.com |
