they stale that their album fails to tunum a slear credit to canada but according to kennedy next lime well put a hag on the cover or something technically canadun recording facilities have improved rapidly to the point where they now rival their american counteipatls smith uses the example of early david clayton thomas lecordrngs where the material was excellent but poor production destroyed much of the effect today thomas records in new voik although similar results could be obtained in toronto his home town the difference seems to be thai the good producers have finally come together with excellent facihtiesboth existed before but separately that evening molheilode worked a dance engagement conditions were not good for their music molheilode is not a dance band as their manager points out music itself is then expression not music combined with dance kennedy and smith spent much time jamming in yoikvilles old penny larthing where they picked up a jau style which affects many of their arrangements tins makes them both more interesting and less danceable moreover motherlode employs an unusual structure organ smith lead guitar marco drums stone and electrified sax kennedy there is no bass steve is fond of runnrng his voice up and down the scale in a manner whrch steps outside the orthodox framework dance rs definitely not their bag unfortunately there are not sufficient concert dales to permit refusal of dance contracts motherlode maintains a punishing schedule to take full advantage of its popularity the preceding week had been spent on the west coast just for that afternoon they dew to cleveland for a television show the next afternoon would sec them in washington followed by baltimore in the evening on to indiana and illinois the following weekend on the slow nights early in the week motherlode concentrates on recording and television sessions all in all the pace is brutal one cannot understand motherlode without also understanding bill smith and steve kennedy the duo have been associates for yean at one time a perrod whrch kennedy does not really discuss smith led kennedy into a previously all black band later came the penny farthing jams and grant smith although both dug the jau influences of penny farthing the results show much more strongly in steve bill continues to sing with a husky soulful voice its straightness contrasting with steves experimentation yet were there sufficient demand for the medium motherlode would be a jau band not a rock band with jazz tendencies this love of informality extends even to interviews general rap sessions find great favor with them but telephone interviews where the interrogators character remains unappraiuble are another story the literacy developed by travel a common feature of successful musicians facilitates conversation kennedy in particular is unabashedly frank frequently nukes statements which he does not wish published presently there are four possibilities for the next singles release all but three tracks for a new album are also ready and kennedy especially is keen about its possibilities although bookings are never made more than six weeks in advance there are no indications of anything except greater demand in the future television appearances continue at a satisfying rate no one mentioned sleep department introduces spate and man course a new
