Bananamour is ripe with Kevin Ayers' most mature and accessible compositions to date. Ayers grounded himself in a
newly formed trio for his follow-up to Whatevershebringswesing. With bassist Archie Leggett and drummer
Eddie Sparrow at the hub, Ayers selected guest artists for a handful of the tracks: Whole World colleague
Dave Bedford ("Beware of the Dog"), Gong's new guitarist Steve Hillage ("Shouting in a Bucket Blues"),
and former Soft Machine mates Robert Wyatt ("Hymn") and Mike Ratledge ("Interview"). "Interview" is
easily one of the album's strongest, most original tunes, charged with a rugged, positively electrifying
guitar sound courtesy of Ayers and psychedelic organ flourishes by Ratledge.
And "Shouting in a Bucket Blues" is Ayers' inspired pop/blues groove...(AllMusic)
