After two raw, rocking albums in the tradition of early Rolling Stones, as the frontman for the New York Dolls, and then as smooth, professional solo outing, things looked good for David Johansen. Sure, record sales werei’t phenomenal, but in mPty circles, he was respeqted. Now on his second effort dftder his own name, Johansen seems to be throwing in the towel. in Style" (Blue Sky) is an a0t title, as Mr. Johansen is obviously trying to seel records. Blondie were able to fuse disco with rock and come out for the better, but David Johansen—especially on “Melody" and "Swaheto Woman”—sounds silly. The arrangements are cliche-ridden and his voice sounds like a cross between a second-rate opera singer and Jim Morrison

on a bad night.

But. copping out to disco isn’t the only thing wrong with this. The playing from - his band is sterile and the material, especially "She" and "Justine." is flat. Instead . of confident arrogance, there’s a feeling of desperation, as if it’ll be his

The Energy Rush Hours are Ceming, and if you're not careful they could bring with them everything frorh higher electric bills to brownouts and blackouts. The Energy Rush Hours last from ten in the morning until ten at night on the f hottest summer days. And although air conditioning is the biggest threat dur-. ing these Energy Rush Hours, youh other major appliances can cause just as much harm if you don't use them wisely.

last lone-player. A lesson David Jtbansen is going to have to "earn is one can't please everyone and getting a hit is more luck than anything else. Who knows, maybe one of these bland tracks will go gold. But, take my word for it, not one of them deserves

to.

On the other hand, there’s- Ian Gomm. Like Nick Lowe and half of jGrahafn Parker's Rumour, Ian rises from the ashes of the late, lamented Brinsley SChwara. His first solo album, "Gomm With The Wind" (Stiff-Epic) is a delight from the very first note to the end. Ian Gomm writes simple tunes that rock nice and easy. He often adds color by using subtly horn arrangements, which hark back to the glory days of Stax Records. Ian Gomm isn’t ashamed of showing his influences, and its his light, optimistic approach which keeps him from sounding like a human jukebox. ** The Reds are a Philadelphia New Wave group priming themselves to take over the music world. Their debut (A&M) is a thoroughly modern record. The mechanical vocals enhance their tense melodies, while electronics, keyboards, and guitar demand the listener's full attention. The Reds are making urban music in the grand tradition of The Velvet Underground, The Doors, The Stranglers, and Television. Its craziness might scare some away, but The Reds have an incredible first effort. Moving away from the rock scene, Chicago bluesman Walter Horton’s "Fine Cuts" (Blind Pig. 208 S. First St., Ann Arbor, MI. 48103) is a must for anyone who appreciates melodic, yet powerful, harmonica playing. Besides his qualities as an instrumentalist, Horton also has a fine, soulful voice, solid material, and a tight band—especially guitarist John Nicholas. There’s some great blues on this record.
