Boasting recordings thought for many years to be lost, the historic READS ON THE ROAD should be an easy favorite for any admirer of this beloved Beat poet. What a tasty variety of material there is here--Kerouac singing jazz standards (!), Kerouac singing an original song, and Kerouac reading poems to the sound of David Amram's moving beat scores. "Ain't We Got Fun" is a hoot, with the poet-turned-crooner scatting to the warm vibes and guitar of a combo of unknown musicians. His home-taped two-minute "On the Road" is a tear-jerking treasure, a little travelin' tale posthumously set to plaintive organ and guitar a la John Medeski and Victor Juris. And who better to reinterpret the aforementioned piece than the inimitable, whisky-throated Tom Waits, along with the wild ones of Primus whooping it up on steel guitar, upright bass, and percussion. The crown jewel, however, is the nearly 30-minute crackle-pop acetate taping of our Lowell, Massachusetts hero reading unaccompanied from his seminal text. It's a rare, wonderful treat to hear Kerouac vocalize his rollicking images of jazzmen and Neal Cassady joyrides.
