Chilton, Alex
High Priest
1987 US White Label Promo With Gold Promo Stamp On Back Cover. "1987's High Priest Was Alex Chilton's First Full-length Studio Album Since The Fascinatingly Disastrous Like Flies On Sherbert In 1979. While It Certainly Wasn't The Return To Pure-pop Form Some Fans Were Hoping For From The Former Leader Of Big Star, It At Least Showed Chilton To Be In Firm Command Of His Faculties Again, And Fronting A Solid Band Of Memphis/new Orleans Studio Heavyweights. High Priest Boasted Only Four Original Songs From Chilton, The Best Being The Mildly Sleazy "Thing For You" (Though The Just-plain-weird "Dalai Lama" Has A Certain Perverse Charm), But He Dug Up A Handful Of Worthwhile Covers, Including The Good-and-greasy "Make A Little Love" And A Fine, Obscure Carole King Number, "Let Me Get Close To You." While Chilton's Vocals Betray A Certain Inscrutable Irony, He's In Fine Voice Throughout, And His Wildly Underrated Guitar Work Is Very Much In Evidence." AMG - Mark Deming.
