Some Days Are Diamonds (1975)

Although Some Days Are Diamonds doesn't contain any big hit songs like 1973's Dick Feller Wrote ("Lord Mr. Ford," "Biff the Friendly Purple Bear"), it contains examples of the country songwriter's craft as perfect as one is likely to find. For inventiveness, skill with rhyme, and attention to detail, Dick Feller had few equals in the '70s (Roger Miller and Tom T.

Although Some Days Are Diamonds doesn't contain any big hit songs like 1973's Dick Feller Wrote ("Lord Mr. Ford," "Biff the Friendly Purple Bear"), it contains examples of the country songwriter's craft as perfect as one is likely to find. For inventiveness, skill with rhyme, and attention to detail, Dick Feller had few equals in the '70s (Roger Miller and Tom T. Hall come to mind), and Some Days Are Diamonds contains some of his choicest material. In addition, the crack Nashville session cats who play on the record are given a chance to stretch out on some fun, quirky songs. On "More or Less," legendary picker Reggie Young plays an amazingly "out" fuzz guitar solo which has more in common with John McLaughlin than it does with Chet Atkins or Jerry Reed. The stripped-down, funky arrangements are always interesting, and Feller's nasal voice rides atop the music like an old man shouting hilarious comments from the peanut gallery. While Feller occasionally dips into drippiness ("Louie/Don't Give Up On Me"), his lyrics are so well crafted that even his missteps read like poetry. Although he is perhaps an acquired taste, much the same way as Warren Zevon, Randy Newman or the aforementioned Roger Miller, Dick Feller is certainly one of the most underrated and creative writers/performers of his time, and Some Days Are Diamonds is one of his best efforts. ~ Pemberton Roach, Rovi Read Less
