Marshall is King

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2005

Verified Purchase

I just turned 50 a few days back and thought unrequited

day dreams were over about past bliss but....just listen to

Marshall's, "This Street". It's about as cool a October

llulaby as you will ever hear. The bass line in this song

by Graham Maby is classic. He captures your heart racing

to the sound of wild romance. This is a good Marshall cd

and I'm glad it's finally on cd. It's his overall best.

Like I said before it's the right time of year to listen

to it. Mike "tremelo" Caldwell

Marshall does it again. A great group of songs from one of the greatest stylists ever. How did this guy not get to be a megastar?

The title track is his greatest song!

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2017

SO underrated. Maybe a TINY step down from his first three but the title song, "Mary Jean" is his greatest song in my opinion. "A Hundred Dollars"
"Calling Out For Love (At Crying Time)" and "'Til That Moment" are my other three faves though all the songs are good. Any Crenshaw collection is severely lacking without this one!

Could be his BEST

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2021

I love almost all Marshall Crenshaw's albums, but I keep going back to "Mary Jane". Every song is catchy and could've been a hit. I'm almost glad they were not, because they are part of the treasure trove of of great songs that are "secret's" for Marhall's fans. I think this is my favorite Crenshaw albums, because it makes me smile every time I listen to it. I'm going to go see him live this October, and I hope he plays a few tunes from this classic album. It will make me smile!

Superb Pop From A Wonderful Pop Tunesmith!

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2013

You'll find many figures in the pop/rock world that undeservedly go somewhat unsung and/or are one/two hit wonders for no particular reason. It's an overcrowded area as is. As far as critical recognition,that would likely depend on what the artist would have to offer individually. It's pretty likely that Marshall Crenshaw could easily join that interesting middle ground I often associated with British bands such as XTC and Squeeze. They had hits and critical success. But neither was consistent and enduring. Backed by an excellent group of musicians here,this is the first full length Crenshaw album I've had the privilege of hearing. Certainly not disappointed.

With songs such as "This Is Easy" and "A Hundred Dollars" opening the album up,Crenshaw makes it clear the way he's going to proceed throughout: grandly produced,reverb/harmony laden overdubbed guitars and catchy and often unexpected melodic turns both vocally and instrumentally. Some of the songs have a more cinematic,penetrating feel to them such as "Calling Out For Love (At Crying Time),"Somebody Crying" and the wonderfully harmonized closer "They Will Never Know",actually among my favorites heres, as well as more upbeat rockers such as "Wild Abandon","This Street","Steel Strings" and the hit "Mary Jane".

If your a lover of the pop side of rock,especially on the late 80's end of that spectrum it will probably be difficult not to fall in love with this album. The music is wonderfully arranged and constructed without being too careful,the lyrics are thoughtful and intelligent but are somehow able to reach out directly to the listener. I know they did me. One thing that's appealing is that he uses the emotionalism behind his guitar harmonies to express his passion and wit very much in the style of the 60's era "popsmiths" he clearly admires as opposed to being a guitar hero type. From beginning to end,a classic 80's guitar pop album

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2007

Marshall Crenshaw is a man who seems virtually incapable of making a bad album. Granted, there was the occasional filler tune but almost every album had at least one power-pop classic on it. On "Mary Jean & 9 Others," you have the shimmering heartbreak of "Calling Out For Love At Crying Time." Like his first three albums, "Mary Jean.." carries on the classiscist tradition of weeding the kind of Buddy Holly pop to 80's new wave.

This time it was producer Don Dixon (REM, Smithereeens and Dixon's wife Marti Jones, who adds vocals here) trying to capture Crenshaw's essence. With Crenshaw's pop-leanings and Dixon's affinity towards jangley guitar pop, it should have been a perfect fit. Alas, however, this is the most wooded on Crenshaw's five CD's for Warner Brothers. It doesn't stop the brilliance of "Calling Out For Love" or "Somebody Crying," but it does make "This Street" feel uninspired.

On the other hand, "They Will Never Know" may be one of Crenshaw's best love ballads. The lone cover - of Peter Case's rootsy "Steel Strings" - is a perfect match of artist/production/song, and the exuberant "hold me darling, hold me baby" whoops in "Til That Moment" recall the hype that surrounded his debut album. Had it been any other artist, it probably would have been a landmark of Jangle-pop. Placed next to "Marshall Crenshaw" and "Field Day," its just a really good 4th album that slipped through the cracks. It had fallen out of print for several years (I still have my WB version, thanks Wounded Bird for this and "Downtown"), so this is for the loyal fans that were unwilling to cough up the exorbitant auction prices.

This Is My Favorite Waste Of Time

Reviewed in Japan on September 14, 2005

練られた楽曲、艶やかで張りのあるクレンショウのヴォーカル、タイトで強力な演奏。整理しすぎない適度にラフな録音。
少々、スネアの音処理・エコーがラウドで時代を感じさせはしますが、そこに目をつむれば、まさに、非の打ち所のないパワーポップが全編にわたり展開される、Don Dixonプロデュースによる１９８７年リリースの彼の最高傑作です。
Ｍ－１、３、５、６（Ｂ面１）、７（Ｂ面２）、９（Ｂ面４）等々とにかく繰り出される名曲の数々が、彼の充実期を証明しています。
アナログ盤は、すでに内袋が破れ、盤も聴き込みすぎたのか、内周付近は音がザラついて困っていました。
まさに、待望のリイシューです。
