Heads....We Don't Need No Stinkin' Heads,
By
This review is from: Uh-Oh (Audio CD)
This is by far my favourite David Byrne album. And as mentioned above, there was little traditional promotion for this album. However, the videos are all gems. (Too bad - my VHS copy of a Muchmusic spotlight which ran them all is faded and finally wore out. DVD pretty please.) She's Mad got a lot of airplay and a nomination at the MTV video awards. But Girls on my Mind and Hanging Upside Down are classic vids as well.This is an album that dispite its varied influences and mixing of music styles flows from beginning to end so well that you could have it on repeat and not get tired of it. And I dare not to sing to it when no one is around.(Hey , Look at Us now. hey look at us now. Look at us n-n-n-now . Hey Hey hey!)

A Grossly Underrated Gem,
By
This review is from: Uh-Oh (Audio CD)
David Byrne's albums always seemed to go by unnoticed, and with Uh-Oh, this is truly a crime. This album is so diverse and colorful and it really deserves some recognition. With the help of a lot of different musicians and instruments, this is a very bright and happy album. The comical opener, "Now I'm Your Mom" starts out a bit off-beat (musically and in subject matter), but includes a wondefully rhythmic chorus. Other highlights include "Girls On My Mind", in which Byrne's vocal delivery is extremely reminiscent of the latter days of Talking Heads, which is cool to hear. "Hanging Upside Down" has features enjoyable and fun lyrics with a driving guitar throughout. "The Cowboy Mambo (Hey Lookit Me Now)" is a very jumpy tune which truly captures the essence of 'Uh-Oh'. The album's closer, "Somebody", is also probably its best track with a very epic and large feeling which ends this album perfectly. Get this album now!

an all-time personal favorite,
By "richlatta" ("The War Zone" ABQ, NM) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Uh-Oh (Audio CD)
This album is so much fun! Some of his wackiest songs, wildest lyrics and smoothest grooves!Byrne was still getting flak from some quarters about breaking up the Heads when this came out. Despite the different reasons I've heard as to why this happened, I think you can hear from the recordings that he longed to branch out, work with other musicians and be in complete control. Look how many additional musicians played on the Talking Heads swan-song NAKED. He definately assembled some top notch players for UH-OH, and it really paid off. Everything is great here; I gotta wonder about David Byrne fans that don't dig this record. Highlights include: "Twistin' in the Wind" with it's bizarre slice of life tales centered around a Washington D.C. family, "A Million Miles Away" with it's soaring chorus and absolutely dope groove and I'll never forget how I laughed when my rather conservative father yanked my tape out of the car stereo when it started playing the sex-change boogie "Now I'm Your Mom." LOL Ah, the memories.
