Personnel includes: Peter Laughner (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars), Albert Dennis, Craig Bell (bass), Deborah Smith (background vocals). Includes liner notes by Clinton Heylin. All songs written or co-written by Peter Laughner except "Calvary Cross" (Richard Thompson), "Baby's On Fire" (Brian Eno) and "Me & The Devil Blues" (Robert Johnson). TAKE THE GUITAR PLAYER FOR A RIDE consists largely of home recordings and demos, and includes performances with Laughner's bands Rocket From The Tombs, Friction and The Finns. The CD version omits three tracks--"What Is Love" and cover versions of Bob Dylan's "Pledging My Time" and "Visions Of Johanna"--included on the LP. Liner Note Author: Clinton Heylin. Thoughtfully assembled 15-track compilation of Laughner's work draws from his contributions to Rocket from the Tombs ("Ain't It Fun"), Friction, solo recordings (including a version of "Life Stinks," also recorded by Pere Ubu), and even a home tape recorded in his bedroom the night before his death. While the full rock band cuts show an admirable arty ambition ("Amphetamine" in particular strongly recalls the Velvet Underground), it's the folky solo cuts which are the most chillingly emotional, and perhaps the most durable. ~ Richie Unterberger
