Todd RundgrenTRAVELING RIVERSIDE BLUESPlaying a Telecaster and layering the sound, Rundgren charges aggressively through Johnson’s repertoire, and, like Clapton, he pulls off the vocals without sounding out of his element.
Will blues diehards find Rundgren’s homage compelling? Unlikely. After all, countless musicians have paid tribute to Johnson in more emotionally stirring ways. Yet for Rundgren devotees and many others, this Delta-inspired excursion is well worth checking out.

Todd Rundgren'KINDHEARTED WOMAN' BLUESRundgren tips his hat not only to 'Robert Johnson' but to his ’60s British blues-rock disciples — Eric Clapton and John Mayall, for instance. Raucously electric versions of “Dust My Broom,” “Traveling Riverside Blues” and
“Kindhearted Woman Blues"
reveal the impact that albums by Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, the Yardbirds and Cream have had on Rundgren’s approach to reviving vintage blues.

Todd RundgrenFREAK PARADERundgren did the impossible with this album (Todd Rundgren's Utopia), topping nearly every other prog band out there in terms of instrumental dexterity and epic scope. Without ignoring the other incredibly-talented members, this is really the album that makes Todd Rundgren a god to me, even if I only like a small fraction of his total output. His beyond- John McLaughlin guitar insanity, his warm, friendly vocal tone, and the fact that he wrote and directed this monumental, impossible collection of music...I am forever in awe.

Todd RundgrenTIME HEALSOn CD, 'Healing's calming effect is dissipated somewhat because the bonus 7" single
"Time Heals"
is added at the end. It's presence makes it clear that 'Healing' was intended as an album unto itself, without much in the way of singles. In this context, it may reduce the lasting 'spiritual impression' of the album, but also Adds musical weight, helping make the disc a fine effort.

Todd RundgrenMANUPSaving the best to last, the final three tracks drive the album home in some style. 'Mountaintop' is tailor made for live performance with its massed guitars and super catchy "higher higher" refrain in the chorus. 'Panic' is classic Rundgren with its whip smart time changes and vocal hooks, and the closing
'MANUP'
is a shiny stadium rocker that manages to squeeze in a big guitar solo but does not outstay its welcome.
Although there are some who may wish Arena was recorded with a band rather than Rundgren's ususal Protools set-up, which occasionally restrains the more powerful rock...

http://wm06.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:k9foxqy5ld6e
It makes sense that The Hermit of Mink Hollow — his first full-fledged solo album since Initiation, if you discount the half-cover/half-original Faithful — finds Rundgren in his pop craftsman persona. The difference is, he's heartbroken. His relationship with Bebe Buell collapsed during 1977 and it's clear that the separation has pained him, since pain and melancholy underpin the album, whether it's on ballads ("Can We Still Be Friends") or on apparently joyous revelries, like "All the Children Sing." That said, this is a Rundgren solo album and...

Todd RundgrenBLEEDING'The Ballad of Todd Rundgren'
eschews much of the musical experimentation of Rundgren's debut and is essentially a straight-ahead pop album. But it's a superlative pop album and, in my opinion, one of the best titles in Rundgren's large catalog. I love the cover art — it's a photo of Todd sitting at a piano with a noose tied around his neck. Perhaps this is meant to convey Rundgren's angst at being forced to write the hooky pop songs that he seemed to make so effortlessly; I don't know.
What I do know is that, despite the ease with which th...

“The Ikon” is Progressive Rock at its finest, bringing to the table the fusion muscle of bands such as the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return to Forever, as well as prog legends such as Yes, ELP, Camel, and Focus.
Here, the three keyboard format works to its fullest, as Klingman, Labat, and Schuckett add in layer after layer of varied keyboard sounds using Moog, Fender Rhodes, and organ, creating a huge wall of sound over which Rundgren’s vocals can soar.
The song takes many paths, changing tempos...

Todd RundgrenDEVIL'S BITETodd's as interested in sound as he is in song and while he would later pursue these tendencies to extremes, Runt finds him learning how to create an effective sound with the studio, which may be the reason why the album runs the gamut from power pop rockers like
"DEVIL'S BITE"
All the details buried within these songs -- not only in the deceptively direct productions, but within the writing itself -- confirm Rundgren's exceptional skill at songcraft.
Runt, is a thoroughly impressive debut and one of his finest pop records.

Todd RundgrenBROKE DOWN AND BUSTEDReluctant to start a full-fledged solo career after leaving the Nazz, Todd Rundgren formed Runt, a band that was a front for what was in effect a solo project. Such isolationism lends Runt its unique atmosphere -- it is the insular work of a fiercely talented artist finally given the opportunity to pursue his off-kilter musical vision. From the moment the slow, bluesy psychedelic grind of
"BROKE DOWN AND BUSTED" (studio version)
starts the album, it's apparent that Rundgren could never have made Runt with the Nazz -- and that's before the introspective ballads or the willfully strange stuff...

'Forever Now'
About this CD
Likely exercising the same controlling approach that he was notorious for, from his work with every act from the New York Dolls to XTC, Todd Rundgren brought in legendary backup vocal duo Flo and Eddie as well as a cellist, two horn players (including NRBQ member Donn Adams), and himself on keyboards. The end result is simply fantastic, fusing the post-punk charge of the first two albums (Ely still sounds great as always, from the first song on, while Tim Butler acquits himself well on bass) with a new synth-based approach...
