| There are plenty of performers rock critics compliment by using the label primitive, but few, if any, can hold a candle to the greatest American rock primitive, Jad Fair Fair has constructed a prolific and extremely interesting career Although Fair s recent recordings are certainly more accessible -- in some ways resembling those of another great American primitive, Jonathan Richman -- his stock-in-trade is still the ability to compose and play music without any discernable (i e , traditional) musical talent Although he has played guitar since the mid- 70s, Fair, according to past and present members of Half Japanese, still can t name a chord, plays riffs almost by accident, and wouldn t have it any other way His first efforts were tentative, and in terms of the noise vs music factor (more noise than music), akin to early Half Japanese records By not being your typical singer song writer, Jad Fair has made the world a safe place for those who care passionately about rock + roll, but who don t feel the need to achieve any degree of virtuosity | ||
