  • A Near Perfect Example of Retro-Pop

    Dec 05 '00
    Pros: Great songs from an under appreciated artist
    Cons: a few good, but not-so-memorable songs thrown into the mix

    Summary: The face that stares back at you from the cover of This Is Easy!, the greatest hits collection from Marhsall Crenshaw, is reminiscent of both Buddy Holly and Elvis Costello. The music contained on this disk does nothing to diminish that initial...

  • Almost perfect

    Mar 28 '08
    Pros: Great overview of the career of an under appreciated artist
    Cons: Crenshaw was more interested in writing albums than singles

    Summary: One of the oddest figures in rock n' roll is Marshall Crenshaw. Why? It's absolutely amazing that the man's work hasn't been more widely appreciated. His songs are infinitely accessible, the man's albums are enjoyable and Crenshaw's knowledge of rock n' ...

  • One Pop Masterpiece After Another--And People Watch American Idol?

    Apr 24 '05
    Pros: Exhilarating ear candy
    Cons: Bah. Don't even think about it.

    Summary: The fact that pop magician Marshall Crenshaw is at best a cult figure is proof positive of the decline of the West (no apologies to that flatulent fool Oswald Spengler). Or that there is no justice attainable on God's gray earth*. Not when one sees an ...

  • Best Artist You've Never Heard Of

    Jun 15 '04
    Pros: Some of the best pop songs ever written, major influence on popular artists
    Cons: The fact that more people haven't heard it

    Summary: It's hard to understand exactly why Marshall Crenshaw is not one of the biggest names in the history of pop music. During his life, he has portrayed John Lennon in the road show Beatlemania as well as Buddy Holly in the film La Bamba. When ...
