James: Tim Booth (vocals); Jim Glennie (bass, background vocals); Larry Gott (guitar, background vocals); Saul Davies (violin, guitar, cowbell); Andy Diagram (trumpet, background vocals); Mark Hunter (keyboards, accordion); David Baynton-Power (drums, percussion). Producers: Larry Gott, Jim Glennie, Nick Garside, Tim Booth. James completely revamped their lineup for Gold Mother, adding a violinist, a keyboardist, and a trumpeter to the band and attempting to write grand, ambitious arena-rock that recalled U2 and the Waterboys. Although a few of the tracks captured the sprawling, epic splendor that James wished to achieve, they have difficulty writing convincing material, and they aren't nearly as interesting as they were when they concentrated on jangling folk-pop. [Gold Mother was reissued in 1991 after a re-recorded version of "Sit Down" became a hit. "Sit Down" and "Lose Control" replaced "Crescendo" and "Hang On," but the baggy beats of the new songs sat uncomfortably with the sprawling, anthemic rock of Gold Mother.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
