David Byrne: Uh-Oh
Andy Gill, Q, April 1992
PACKED WITH ALL MANNER of musical invention, oddball observations and joyous pop nonsense, Uh-Oh is by some way David Byrne's most commercial – and enjoyable – outing since True Stories. But then, compared to last year's worthy-but-dull art project The Forest, a book-burning would be fun.
