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)
