Product note

THE CONFESSIONS OF DR. DREAM is one of Kevin Ayers' best-regarded albums, and it marks his peak in terms of mainstream rock recognition. While it contains some almost glam-rock sounding riffs and accessible melodies, it's a dyed-in-the-wool art-rock classic full of lovable weirdness.
"Everybody's Sometime and Some People's All the Time Blues" is an eccentric piece that alternates between wailing female backup singers on the chorus, and eerie, subdued verses that bring to mind John Cale's creepier work. Ayers' much-touted sense of humor is represented by the short, satirical "Ballbearing Blues", while the lengthy title song is a tour de force, a prog-rock suite with several discrete phases and extended, spacey instrumental sections. The album closes on a simple, almost perversely anticlimactic note, with "Two Goes Into Four", a very brief acoustic ballad that quotes "Hey Jude", a move typical of Ayers' penchant for tweaking an audience's expectations.
