Phil Madeira talks about his usual Chamberlin love with a high cello line and strings on Staring Down The Night with a cellos on Doghouse - I wouldn't have put Trooper (who, sadly, died at age of cancer at age of 61) in the same highly-stimulated pantheon like Earle had - due to circumstances, but going in this album, he was decent writer which died too soon.
Phil Madeira does his usual Chamberlin thing, with a high cello line and strings on Staring Down The Night and cellos on Doghouse. I wouldn't put Trooper (who, sadly, died of pancreatic cancer, aged 61) in quite the same elevated pantheon as Earle, but going by this album, he was a decent writer who died too soon.
