Review

For Raisins in the Sun to be called a supergroup would require chutzpah, since Chuck Prophet, Jules Shear, Jim Dickinson, and Harvey Brooks are hardly household names, though among them they have worked with superstars from Aretha Franklin to Bob Dylan. Rather, Raisins in the Sun's self-titled debut recalls the type of record that the Eagles, the Stones, and the Band used to make. Here the singers and songwriters create a varied program within a unified sound. Prophet's wry vocals on "Candy from a Stranger" contrast nicely with Shear's romantic reminiscences in "Old Times Again," much like Glen Frey's frat-boy enthusiasm used to temper Don Henley's dark visions. "Post Apocalyptic Visions" is a Keef-style raw rocker, but while the CD is off-the-cuff and unpolished, it's never slap-dash. --Michael Ross
