The Times they are a-telling…
It’s all in the headline…and here’s what
Reality – David Bowie (Columbia, 2003) A melancholy, unvarnished collection of simply fine songs in which the pop chameleon reveals something of his true colours at last. This perfectly distils the formidable songwriting wisdom of a great artist in the autumn of his career.
Hard to disagree with that. I know Reality has its detractors, but perhaps it’s time you gave it another spin if you’re among them…New Killer Star, Pablo Picasso, Never Get Old, The Loneliest Guy, Looking For Water, She’ll Drive The Big Car, Days, Fall Dog Bombs The Moon, Try Some, Buy Some, Reality, Bring Me The Disco King…to name but eleven of the great tracks on this album.
