John Hall exudes "Power"
Album Review-John Hall
"Power"
By Gwen Bikis
John Hall is neither Daryl
Hall nor John Oates; he is the
lead guitarist of Orleans (who
brought you such hit singles as
"Still the One," and "Dance
with Me"), now out with this
solo album.
I would buy this record,
almost without hesitation; and
that indicates soemthing about
the music John Hall makes,
improverished and cheap per
son that I am. "Power" has all
sorts of little bonuses, like Jon
Pousette-Dart and John Troy of
the Pousette-Dart Band, as well
as Mr. and Mrs. James Taylor,
on background vocals.
John Hall is known for his
guitar work, he deserves equal
recognition for his resonant
vocals and his writing. All of the
songs on "Power" are origi
nals: most are strong, and none
could be called really weak.
"Home At Last," the lead cut
on the first side, is an inspira

TO BE DISCUSSED, WHY
DONT YOU SEND YOUR
tional love song aiming for the
Top 40. It would make as nice a
single as anything Orleans has
done. One of my favorites,
"Run Away With Me," fea
tures Hall on string synthesizer
(sounds a little like the tone of
electric slide guitar), and opens
with a riff much like the
beginning riff to Van Morri
son's "Domino." "Run Away
With Me," is more genuinely
rousing than "Home At Last."
The "Arms/Half Moon"
medley is almost entirely instru
mental, so Hall's guitar shines
here. He ain't Clapton, Hend
rix, or Santana, but something
else, and it sounds good.
There's also a great gutsy sax
sole. "Firefly Lover" is sweet
and mellow, with the rich vocals

"Cocaine Drain" closes out
side Two It's acoustic and
eerie, and asks the question
"You're so different now, are
you going down that Cocaine
drain?" Obviously not your
average coke-is-fantastic-and
so-ultra-chic song (a la Jackson
Browne). The originality is vast
ly refreshing.
"Power" is a refreshing al
bum. It's nothing innovative or
brilliant, but it's good solid
middle-of-the-road rock. Pieces
of it may approach the simplis
tic appeal of pop, but it's
listenable and likeable for the
same reason.
