Review Oh Me Oh My... the Way the Day Goes By the Sun Is Setting Dogs Are Dreaming Lovesongs of the Christmas Spirit / Devendra Banhart:The full title of this album is Oh Me Oh My the Way the Day Goes By the Sun Is Setting Dogs Are Dreaming Lovesongs of the Christmas Spirit. This sums up singer-songwriter Devendra Banhart reasonably well, demonstrating as it does an engagingly whimsical imagination, an evocative turn of phrase and a vast capacity to irritate. There are moments on Oh Me Oh My
which will have the listener drawing appreciative comparisons with Syd Barret and Elliot Smith, and there are hours during which you'll want to swat Banhart with his own guitar. What Banhart really needs is a good editor. When he's good, as on the sombre and pretty "Animals" and "Cosmos and Demos", he radiates a downbeat charm that suits his lo-fi approach to recording perfectly. When he's bad, as on the laboured, wilfully annoying avant-garde nonsense-unhappily reminiscent of Vic Chestnutt at his least agreeable-that constitutes too much of the rest of the album, he's unlistenable. On Oh Me Oh My
, the balance is just about on the credit side of the ledger. -Andrew Mueller.

Review A Very Special Christmas Vol.5 / Various Artists:Five volumes in 14 years would probably qualify these all-star Very Special Christmas benefit albums as a holiday tradition by now, even if all five have been hit-and-miss affairs. Still, the 2001 edition has a few more highlights than a quick glance at its offerings might indicate. Jon Bon Jovi tries to imitate Elvis on "Blue Christmas", and Darlene Love-surely as important a voice in the genre as Bing Crosby-falls short in her attempt to recreate her superior 1963 Phil Spector version of "White Christmas". Genuinely cool, though, are Macy Gray's jazzy "This Christmas", Eve 6's pop-metallic "Noel! Noel!", City High's hip-hop Christmas hybrid, and SR71's goofy take on Billy Squier's already goofy "Time to Say I Love You". Things get downright steamy-and Santa-sized-when John Popper meets up with BB King for the bluesy "Back Door Santa". -Bill Holdship.
