Reviews Customer Reviews for Four Sail      One of the greatest songs of the sixties      Rating:      If you are a fan of Love, you probably already own "Four Sail." Arthur Lee, after Love recorded the classic "Forever Changes," fired the band. There were lots of problems with drugs so he cut everyone loose and started over. When he got together his new band he got an incredible guitarist in Jay Donellen. The songs are a little uneven but generally pretty good. Someone else said that this was the fourth-best of the Love albums. None of their albums were perfect, but this one is pretty good. "August," the opening cut, contrasts Lee's cool, high and pure vocals and his Spanish guitar stylings with the amazingly manic lead guitar of Donellen. This album also has "Singing Cowboy," a Love standard over the years. But the most important song on this album is the last one, "Always See Your Face." Perhaps it's because it was on the "High Fidelity" soundtrack and has been rediscovered and talked about by rock fans that it has been maybe the biggest "unknown" song of the sixties. In my experience rock fans across Europe seem to have a stronger link to it than here in America. There is something between the simple country-rock arrangement and the horns that come out of left field that lifts the song up; or Lee's beautiful voice that can turn into an incredible soul howl that takes this song over the top. The lyrics are typical of Lee's koans, "I'll always see your face and you'll always see my face. I'm looking at you looking at me." Written down they look like nonsense, but sung by Lee they can open up the mind. Put together this schizophrenic mishmash makes an incredible song that puts a period at the end of Love's Elektra Records period, and the end of an era for the rock scene in L.A. The song, with its horn arrangement, would have actually made a better ending for the previous album ("Forever Changes"). Anyway, "Always See Your Face" is on several other collections of Love material, but if you're a completist and want to hear how the song fits as part of its original album, go for it.     Customer Reviews for Four Sail Cd      i love this love cd      Rating:      as a drummer i have heard a lot of rock albums. but this album i cant stop listening to. for one this is like a who recording. but even more intricate type of playing. the songs are awesome. Arthur Lee is a one of a kind song writer. he writes songs with the strangest turns and stops. even with the singing. the drummers are just unleashed they just fill every bar with groove, fills. just very exciting & interesting.
