Title: All talk, no music
Review: This is a CD of a Jim Carroll nightclub performance where he spews out a little poetry and tells stories in his poetic style. They are mildly interesting stories, but most are not that deep.On this CD, Carroll makes fun of performance art (even though that is what he is doing), talks a lot of about sexual issues (...) and explores the mind of a psychopathic bank robber (the only really deep bit).Most of the time Carroll talks with emotion, but there are times he sounds like he is just reading his material. There are even times he stumbles over words, like he misread them.There is probably nothing on this CD I would want to hear more than once. Carroll is a poet and sometimes rock musician. He had a wild, on the edge childhood. It is featured in the movie the Basketball Diaries.
