 (2 Customer Reviews)
Dale Watson may have drawn his first breath and wailed his first note in Alabama, but the singer/guitarist grew up near Houston. Along with a spiritual hotline to Bakersfield, he's powered by the soul of a true-blue Lone Star-stater. Watson's self-penned tunes are so steeped in County & Western's "Golden Age" of the '50s and '60s that virtually the only hints that he's even listened to any more recent music are found in the disparaging references to the decay of the genre dropped throughout his authentic honky-tonk weepers and 'kickers.
On CHEATIN' HEART ATTACK, his long-play recording debut, Watson decries the rampant "rockification"/urbanization of Music City with the sardonic "Nashville Rash" ("I'm too country now fer country, just like Johnny Cash"), the first in what would prove to be a continuing series of passionate attacks. All of the cuts are honestly in-the-tradition (there ain't no tongue-in-cheek send-ups here), and this sturdy set is a terrific introduction to a heavy duty standard-bearer for real, "hard" country music.

NME (Magazine) (7/15/95, p.49) - 5 (out of 10) - "...excellent honky tonk stylings that recall the swing and the heartache of Merle Haggard at his best. There's cheating and drinking akimbo, and Dale writes a smart tune..."

One could be forgiven for seeing Watson as the second coming of Merle Haggard. Not only does he look like a young Merle, but he employs both Haggard's virtuoso guitarist Red Volkaert and a sound based largely on the Hag's classic '60s recordings (the riff that opens "That's Pride" is practically a Haggard copyright). Watson may not hail from Bakersfield, but he's the prime '90s exponent of the country style associated ...

Cheatin' Heart Attack music CDs
$10.69  
On his debut album, Fulks keeps the spirit of cry-in-your-beer honky-tonk music alive. While he's musically conservative, employing traditional, mostly acoustic instrumentation and classic country song structures, his lyrical muse runs further afield. On "She Took A Lot Of Pills And Died," the mere title of which should earn him a spot in the Country Hall Of Fame, and "Let's Live Together," his sardonic humor adds a twist to the proceedings, ...

Cheatin' Heart Attack songs
$12.79
Strictly a Blink-182 side project (featuring that band's guitarist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker), Box Car Racer doesn't stray too far from addressing the needs and concerns of the "other" band's core teen fanbase. Choosing to leave behind the toilet humor and skate-punk swagger normally associated with Blink, this outing instead goes down the road of vulnerability and insecurity that makes up the dark side of adolescence. Not surprisingly, Box Car Racer's stylistic hard-wiring features plenty of harmonies, prickly riffs, and pounding rhythms that come to the fore on the funky "And I," the hard-charging time changes of the opening "I Feel So," and the raging hardcore of "My First Punk Song."
Balancing out all this aggression are numbers where DeLonge swaps his electric guitar for an acoustic; heartfelt proclamations of love ("There Is") and the realization of life's fragility ("Letters To God"). Rounding out this self-titled debut are guest spots by Rancid's Tim Armstrong and A New Found Glory's Jordan Pundik (a chiming "Cat Like Thief"), and Blink bandmate Mark Hoppus ("Elevator"). BOX CAR RACER turns out to be an interesting visit to Blink-182's emerging serious ...
| | Mark Rae Rae Road CD (2002)
Cheatin' Heart Attack album
$13.95
Best known for his part in the surname-studded hip-hop duo with Steve Christian, Mark Rae walks alone on this, his much vaunted and legendarily delayed debut solo album. Two years in the making and the resultant body of work is perhaps surprisingly more sulphuric soul than sleepwalking beats, twisting through a series of upbeat themes. From the opening mischievousness of the Scruff-esque "Lobster," the album ...
| | Tsegue-Maryam Guebrou Ethiopiques, Vol. 21: Ethiopia Song CD (2006) (Import)
Cheatin' Heart Attack CD music
$15.89
The 21st volume in the grand Ethiopiques series (that reflects how deeply the country's popular music traditions are steeped in American and European colonial sources) is dedicated to the solo piano works of the outstanding composer and performer Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou, a daughter of Ethiopian high society who chucked it all to become a nun in the nation's Orthodox Church. Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou was educated in Europe. She played violin (under the tutelage of Polish émigré Alexander Kontorowicz). She took up her piano studies while in the convent and teaching at an orphanage. Her first recordings -- two LPs -- were issued in 1963, when she was 40. The first nine cuts here come from these two albums. Guèbrou showcased her classical training on much of the first offering. But the opening cut also displays her incredible ability to play an extremely melodic blues piano as read through the great jazz masters of the instrument. One can hear a bit ...
