Review

Uncut (p.115) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he extravagant ambition and bountiful imagination triumph over the chemical savages."
No Depression (p.89) - "[A]s a stand-alone confluence of early '70s styles in the hands of a talented songwriter, it's a great discovery."

After the dissolution of the Mamas and the Papas, the equally dissolute John Philips released one very odd country-rock solo album, 1970's THE WOLFKING OF L.A., reissued in 2006 by Varese Sarabande. Although Philips continued recording sporadically between 1971 and 1973, while engineering a failed reunion of his former band and producing tracks for the soundtrack of BREWSTER MCCLOUD, no album emerged. JACK OF DIAMONDS is Varese Sarabande's 18-track reconstruction of unreleased songs salvaged from that period. Recorded mostly in New York with musicians including Van Dyke Parks and members of the jazz-fusion studio crew the Crusaders, these songs are a fine example of the grittier end of 1970s soft rock, closer in sound and attitude to Warren Zevon, Tom Waits, and Steely Dan than the sunshine pop that made Philips's name. Highlights include two versions of "Me and My Uncle," a song Philips wrote for the Grateful Dead.
