She also appeared on my recordings as well as on recordings with Don Hess, The Word2Soul Project, and Davy Jones (Monkees)—who said Monette was one of his favorite singers. There are many Monette recordings I could share—she’s featured prominently on Davy Jones’s take of “When All Else Fails” https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/track/when-all-else-fails  ...Meanwhile, HB MN and God bless your ministry and lifting up your voice!

225: Kenny Rankin // Like a Seed

Like a Seed Kenny Rankin 1972, Little David Records

Another free record found on the streets of Portland, Maine, where folk pop records huddle on the doorsteps in the rain like the unwanted children of fishwives. If the other one I grabbed, Hedge & Donna’s Special Circumstances, qualified as a pleasant surprise, Kenny Rankin’s Like a Seed is unsurprisingly unpleasant. It opens with a children’s choir, seldom a good sign, and somehow grows more irritating from there.

Rankin’s music is faintly jazzy soft pop (jazzy in the sense that pouring tap water into a just-emptied Tropicana carton makes it fruity), sung in a high dork voice like that of a man whose wife will shortly leave him for James Taylor because he isn’t edgy enough. Sadly, the album has plenty of variety, nearly all of it bad, the Black Like Me funk of “Comin’ Down” ambushing the listener with a fucked-cat chorus that had me scrambling for my garden hose. I'll send out a special No Prize to coffee house groover “I Was Born,” a rousing ‘fuck you’ to his mother for making him go to school as a child that is even dumber than that description suggests. Overall tasting note? Too many goddamn flutes.

The best thing I can say about this is that (like the Hedge & Donna LP) you’ve got some excellent session players in the studio—on the lyrically embarrassing “Eartheart,” one of Larry Knechtel or Victor Feldman contributes heroic Hammond keys, whirling around an elegant string arrangement so pretty I’d want to hear it again if Rankin could shut his gob.

Wikipedia tells me this clown toured with George Carlin for ten years. Imagine seeing Jason Mraz’s kid brother open for Norm MacDonald and you’ll start to feel as bewildered as I am by this information.
