David Byrne Artist Snapshot:

After the Talking Heads broke up at the end of the '80s, David Byrne went even deeper into the exploration of world music that he'd begun on 1979's FEAR OF MUSIC. He incorporated strong elements of Latin, Cuban, and African music into his solo ventures, but of equal importance was his establishment of the Luaka Bop label, which proved to be one of the most important outlets in the US for world music. Through both collaborations and A&R work, Byrne was responsible for bringing multi-cultural music to the masses, especially with his highly influential BRAZIL CLASSICS compilation series.

Title Note

David Byrne's first solo project--not counting his collaboration with Brian Eno, MY LIFE IN THE BUSH OF GHOSTS--is a score for a ballet by Twyla Tharp which was commissioned in an unusual way. Tharp gave Byrne a tape of edits of existing music, which the troupe had been using in initial rehearsals, and told him to write new music which matched the length, tempo, and mood of what was on the tape.

As a result, THE CATHERINE WHEEL has an odd, occasionally disjointed effect, with short segues and instrumental interludes appearing between what are basically Talking Heads-style pop songs. In fact, this album's best track, "What a Day That Was," was performed by the Heads on the STOP MAKING SENSE tour. So basically, this was not nearly as much of a departure for Byrne as it was claimed to be at the time.
