The way I've heard the story; without Buck, the Feelies would have died on the vine after only releasing Crazy Rhythms. That would have been a shame. Remember it was 6 years between their first and second albums. Apparently, and maybe this story is advanced by Buck's publicist, it was at his urging that they reform and go back in the studio, and he funded the recording of "The Good Earth", which I think is a fine album that is somewhat under-appreciated. I like all their albums, but obviously CR is the acknowledged masterpiece, but the rest of their catalogue deserves respect as well, with or without Buck's involvement, especially, as our randy primate friend mentions; "It's Only Life" which is also a first rate album . Plus, Thanks to Peter Buck, I did get to see them open for R.E.M. and they were fantastic. So give Peter Buck credit for good taste at least, if not skill in the producers chair.
