Julian Cope: Black Sheep - The Sunday Times reviewStewart Lee


“Baa baa baa!” sang Julian Cope, 30 years ago, when he was a pin-up front man with the Teardrop Explodes. Now he’s baa-baa-baa-ing again, but as the hero of the acoustic ballad The Black Sheep’s Song. Cope’s new album trims the hairy metal of recent releases, but fans awaiting an unqualified rebirth won’t quite find it. Nonetheless, All the Blowing-Themselves-Up Motherf***ers (Will Realise the Minute They Die That They Were Suckers) is a fun and funky protest song, and the Mellotron-suffused I Can Remember This Life evokes the English pastoral psychedelia the followers of St Julian feared forsworn.
