Album

How Sweet to Be an Idiot is the first solo album by Neil Innes, formerly of The Bonzo Dog Band and later of The Rutles, and was released in 1973. Innes later said of this time. Текст песни: How sweet to be an Idiot As harmless as a cloud Too small to hide the sun Almost poking before his passing in December 2019, the reissue of Neil Innes first solo LP is a timely reminder of its authors ear for a tune and sense of humour. Recorded in 1973 at the famed Chipping Norton studios and featuring guitar wizard Ollie Halsall on lead guitars, this record is a timely reminder of Inness quality as a songwriter. The single version of How Sweet To Be An Idiot features just Innes and his piano and its B-side The Age Of Desperation sounds like a self help book set to a country and western instrumental. Re-Cycled Vinyl Blues is a rather succesful novelty track that incorporates snippet of Tin Pan Alley staples. Michael Palin and Neil Innes - Продолжительность: 4: Innes' first solo album is split between tongue-in-cheek parody and straight pop songs akin to the sort of things he did with his first post-Bonzos project, the World. Sometimes the line between the two is imperceptible, as in the Roy Wood-like '50s pastiche Momma B. However, as in Innes' best Bonzo Dog Band material, even the sillest songs on How Sweet to Be an Idiot, Topless-A-Go-Go and the title track, which later became a standard of Innes' stage performances with Monty Python, are solidly melodic Beatlesque.
