"Painton A Picture" defies classification. Newcomer Jim Painton has created a clever album of his greatest non-hits, culled from over 30 years of his NOT being a public musical performer.
If you like Beatlesque melodies, Beach Boyish harmonies, and Zappa-type humor, you'll love Jim. So far, major labels have snubbed their MTV-loving noses at this CD, while reviewers have cheered it as the second coming of Nilsson.
Sir Paul McCartney says this is his favorite album. Actually he says, 'Who the bloody hell is Jim Painton?' Then again, what does he know? He was the Fluff Beatle, the empty-headed pretty boy. John Lennon was the brains of THAT group. If he were alive today, he'd fire Paul and hire Jim Painton. He'd probably divorce Yoko and enter some kind of domestic partnership with Jim. They could write songs and bake bread together.
Speaking of bread, why not fork some over? The 24-page color booklet alone is worth the price. Well, maybe not. But the CD is still a pretty good deal at ten bucks.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll sing along with the wonderful sound paintings -- or sound 'paintons' -- of this premiere collection.
