Review

The ex-Jellyfish and Three O'Clock member offers up a collection of previously unreleased songs, as well as more than a handful of alternate takes on tracks from 1996's Author Unknown . The four-track method of recording suits Falkner's jagged power pop quite well, the lower fidelity lending an aura as warm and fuzzy as the creative impulse that originally brought it into being. Falkner certainly isn't rewriting the rules of pop (the man is full of Beatles-isms), but ultimately, so what? There's still a charming emotional honesty here, in both the vocal delivery (most notably on "His Train") and lyrics. "If I had you I could never ask for anything again as long as I live," Falkner confesses, only to puzzle two tracks later, "I think I just found out the hard way, how you can give away too much." And yet he keeps on trucking. --Bob MichaelsFormer member of Jellyfish and The Grays Falkner is a must f or power-pop fans. After a bit of time out of the spotlight, Jason triumphantly returns. This record provides the listener the unique experience of hearing the artist at the moment of creation. Even though these songs were created in various bedrooms and living rooms, don't be deceived by the term ' 4-track'. These recordings are warm and vibrant and they pro vide a wonderful contrast to his studio recordings. In addition to the many unreleased songs on this album, Necessity contains the original and previously unreleased versions of many of his best songs. 14 tracks. 12 tracks. 2001 release.
