‘The Music In My Head’ is Michael Franks’ first album for seven years and his eighteenth in a career stretching over 45 years! Considered a pillar of ‘quiet storm’ this album is full of breezy, smooth and gently percussive West Coast jazzy soul, sung with Franks delicately uttered easy going, breathy voice. If you like the vocals of Moses Allison with a blend of Brazilian inspired rhythms and a laid back, early 80s cali-groove you’ll love this. The smooth samba of ‘Suddenly Sci-Fi’ mingles with the funkier bump of ‘The Idea Of A Tree’, ‘To Spend The Day With You’ is a so laid back it’s almost horizontal while ‘Bebop Headshop’ has the smoky atmosphere of a jazz supper club. The opener ‘As Long As We’re Both Together’ is a highlight, too, with clean and clear guitar and slick keys of the sadly departed Chuck Loeb’s gracing this track.
