47 Moons

Amazon.com
Dwight Twilley was hailed as the Godfather of New Wave for his 1976 debut album Sincerely and its blistering monster of a single, "I'm On Fire," holding firm to their rootsy, fashion-be-damned ethos with single-minded devotion ever since. Bookended by the rockabilly-fueled romps "Better Watch Out" and "Flippin'," this is arguably the richest, most focused collection Twilley has cut since returning home to Tulsa in the mid-90's. With original Twilley band guitarist Bill Pitcock IV adding a welcome edge, the veteran singer-songwriter's innate gift for distilling his Elvis/Lennon-McCartney fixations into timeless pop perfection is showcased on songs that range from the impressionistic, neo-lullaby title track and haunting harmonies of "King of the Mountain" to "Chance of a Lifetime"'s trademark goldmine-of-hooks and the melancholy melodramatics of "To Wait is to Waste." Twilley remains both resilient power-pop icon and fiercely independent artistic spirit, a legacy that reverberates from every cut here. -- Jerry McCulley

No Spirit In the Moonlight.......2005-10-08

This is not easy my friend: Dwight lose the Pro Tools!...it has stripped the groove and spirit from the tunes...I can just picture you recording to a click track...maybe Bill's back on guitar but he and the rest of the band appear to be held back...your expression on the photos reflects your confusion...the voice and the harmony are there but they can't overcome the sterility 'cause the "feel" ain't there...no energy, no urgency...did it take 47 moons because you had to learn the software?...now get back in the studio, roll tape, start with a real drummer and get back to where you once belonged...I'm waiting- but not 47 moons...

Twilley does is again!.......2005-01-23

Another fine album by Dwight Twilley. "Better Watch Out" kicks off this new collection with a rockin' beat. I knew I was in for a treat! "47 Moons" is a beautiful song with great melody and wonderful lyrics. "Chance of a Lifetime" takes me back to the classic Twilley sound! It's hard to pick a favorite song...they are all fantastic! This is a must have Cd!
