Fun (CD)
Daniel Johnston's major-label debut is, arguably, his finest moment. With considerable help from Butthole Surfer Paul Leary, Johnston has never sounded so self-assured or confident before. Some of the songs are more polished, but they're never slicked up to such a degree that this sounds like a user-friendly approximation of Johnston's style; in fact, there are plenty of tracks that return Johnston to the keyboards ("Delusion & Confusion" and "My Little Girl") for his freewheeling, primitive workouts. Exhibiting some of his strongest songwriting to date, Fun is a rewarding record that never loses its initial, visceral appeal. ~ John Dougan, All Music Guide

| They say hes crazy. They must die. Well the songs are all lovely. Imagine that you are listening at the door of a nine year old as he sings about cartoons, candy, and the girly who doesn't love him back. Imagine that all these songs are in the key of G and have devestatingly good melodies. That's FUN! | |
