Melanie and Seven Others notparticularlybrilliant musicians, but they are genuinely soulful and have undeni- able songwritingpotential. The anthem American Music, for example, is a rousing a and effective paean to just that, and Border Radio is touching and heartfelt in the man- ner of the very best country music. The rest here are mostly rockabilly ready-mades of varying degrees of effectiveness, and the al- bum is underproduced in a manner that suggests not deliberation but simple inexpe- rience in the studio. In short, this is an interesting young band that may or may not have great potential. Bear in mind, of course, that such judg- ments are relative.I mean, given a choice between hearing the Blasters or, say, For- eigner on the radio, I'd vote for these guys in a minute. S.S.

Passion... Poetry! Attack the world. Let’s do some damage. What a band. Four monsters of skin. My favorite rockers of the then time. John Doe - Mr. Handsome - of the deep rich voice, the hard, strong jaw, the angular bass stance and the hot/cool lyrics. Their harmonies - some would say Schoenberg - his partner Exene, of the wailing scream in the night, the clear eyed pinning of American failings, the fine words of Diana Bonebrake love and booze and madness in the midnight dawn of Los Angeles. “Johny Hit and Run Paulene...” and he’s got a sterilized hypo filled with a sex-machine drug, and he only has 24 hours to shoot all Paulenes between the legs. So get busy, boy. And he does. Listen to those words! That naughty, naughty Johny. I love ‘em. And Exene’s “The World’s a Mess, it’s in My Kiss.” I just love that crazy combination: World - Mess - Kiss. And Billy Zoom on guitar, or is that at least 3 or 4 guitars. How does he do it? It’s so massive, so sharp, so bright, so fucking LOUD!!! And he is so silver smooth and cool. Effortless fingering, impeccable on the frets. Doesn’t he ever make a mistake? Is he a flesh and blood Valhalla guitar god? Yeahhh! And who is that madman beating the living shit out those drums? Ladies and Gentleman... D.

Printing courtesy of Razorcake Press, Razorcake.org he Gun Club is one of Los Angeles’s greatest bands. Lead singer, guitarist, and figurehead Jeffrey Lee Pierce fits in easily with Tthe genius songwriting of Arthur Lee (Love), Chris Hillman (Byrds), and John Doe and Exene (X). Unfortunately, neither he nor his band achieved the notoriety of his fellow luminary Angelinos. From 1979 to 1996, Jeffrey manned the Gun Club ship through thick and mostly thin. Understandably, the initial Fire of Love and Miami lineup of Ward Dotson (guitar), Rob Ritter (bass), Jeffrey Lee Pierce (vocals/ guitar) and Terry Graham (drums) remains the most beloved; setting the spooky, blues-punk template for future Gun Club releases. At the time of its release, Fire of Love was heralded by East Coast critics as one of the best albums of 1981.

  • Album of the Week: Chadwick Stokes' the Horse Comanche,Album Of
    Album Of The Week: Chadwick Stokes’ The Horse Comanche He’s an integral part of Boston-based acts Dispatch and State Radio, but Chadwick Stokes has also built a reputable solo career. Straying from the jam rock of Dispatch and the reggae-infused punk of State Radio, Stokes’ solo material revolves around folk music that sounds like something you’d listen to while sitting around a campfire with a few close friends. His new album, The Horse Comanche, is a continuation of Stokes’ solo style in the most excellent form. With a few added dimensions, Stokes’ take on folk is broadened and expanded with each track. Produced by Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam, the quality of sound in The Horse Comanche is impeccable. Stokes doesn’t limit himself to just one type of music; there’s a great variety of styles exhibited and you get an introduction to Stokes’ versatility when it comes to writing a song and strumming his guitar. Some tracks have an infectious groove while others have a lot of heart and passion, making The Horse Comanche pleasurable in all sorts of ways. There’s a certain catchiness with a few songs as well, but not in an annoying way where you’re praying to the heavens to get those meaningless lyrics out of your head. Don’t let all of this New England snow get you down. Take the opportunity to nestle in your favorite blanket and snuggle with my top tracks off of the Album Of The Week. It might not warm you up, but your music taste will benefit.

  • Dwight Yoakam
    2008 Induction Class Dwight Yoakam With his stripped-down approach to traditional honky tonk and Bakersfield country, Dwight Yoakam helped return country music to its roots in the late '80s. Like his idols Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, and Hank Williams, Yoakam never played by Nashville's roots; consequently, he never dominated the charts like his contemporary Randy Travis. Then again, Travis never played around with the sound and style of country music like Yoakam. On each of his records, he twists around the form enough to make it seem like he doesn't respect all of country's traditions. Appropriately, his core audience was composed mainly of roots rock and rock & roll fans, not the mainstream country audience. Nevertheless, he was frequently able to chart in the country Top Ten, and he remained one of the most respected and adventurous recording country artists well into the '90s. Born in Kentucky but raised in Ohio, Yoakam learned how to play guitar at the age of six. As a child, he listened to his mother's record collection, honing in on the traditional country of Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, as well as the Bakersfield honky tonk of Buck Owens. When he was in high school, Yoakam played with a variety of bands, playing everything from country to rock & roll. After completing high school, Yoakam briefly attended Ohio State University, but he dropped out and moved to Nashville in the late '70s with the intent of becoming a recording artist. At the time he moved to Nashville, the town was in the throes of the pop-oriented urban cowboy movement and had no interested in his updated honky tonk.
