Review:
A decent album
Years is not, as the blurb claims, a lost masterpiece, but it does
have some good stuff on it. Marc Jonson’s debut album deserves to
be released and Vanguard have done a good job of the remastering, so
the sound is more than acceptable and the music is, by and large,
pretty good. There are some good songs with intelligent lyrics and a
baroque/psych tinge; I found echoes of the songwriting of James
Taylor, Melanie Safka and some others. It does have its low points;
A Long Song could do with being a much shorter song, for example,
with seemingly endless repetitions of tedious stuff as a long, long
outro. Overall, though, it’s a decent album and if you like early
70s singer-songwriter stuff, this is well worth a try.
