Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Chris Bell was one of the unsung heroes of American pop music. Chris Bell was a founding member of Big Star, but he recorded just one complete solo album before his short life ended--this lone solo album is proof positive of his underappreciated pop mastery.The album''s highlight, "You and Your Sister" -- which features backing vocals from none other than Bell''s Big Star mate Alex Chilton -- is simply one of the great unknown love songs in the pop canon, a luminous and fragile ballad almost otherworldly in its beauty.

The very first lines of Chris Bell's one and only album say it all: "Every night I tell myself I am the cosmos / I am the wind / That don't bring you back again." Recorded between his departure from the notoriously misbegotten power-pop group Big Star in 1972 and his 1978 death following an auto accident, Cosmos is the work of a man struggling to assuage his depression with spiritual succor. Musically, this collection (which was unheard by the general public prior to 1992) is reminiscent of John Lennon's '70s work. With the exception of Plastic Ono Band, however, Lennon never put out a solo album on a par with this one. The tragedy is that Bell never had a chance to try to match it. --Steven Stolder
