Founding guitarist Guy Lyons departed just before the band recorded this seven-song set. Now a trio, guitarist Mike Gent, bassist Pete Donnelly, and drummer Pete Hayes are here at their peak as players. Their decade of working together had braided them together into a tough and knotty outfit.
The EP opens with Donnelly's "Waiting For the Sun to Rise," a crash course in what makes this band click that's both rich in tradition and proudly their own signature. The bass playing--always their secret weapon--gives the song gorgeous tensions as it tugs against the guitar. The vocals embrace scruffiness, finesse, and melancholy in equal measure. The song's fade-out shows that the Figgs' love of recording has a life of its own outside merely capturing a performance. Mike Gent's three songs include the powerful and riveting "Excuse the Lame Excuse." Throughout, the arrangements are full and complete, with nothing obscuring the essential heart of each song.
Recorded at The Amazing Barn, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Mom & Pop Sounds, Montreal, Canada; Mike's House, Queens, New York in 1999. Figgs For EP Fans Only Songs For EP Fans Only Review

BY A THREAD is Gov't Mule's first studio album since HIGH & MIGHTY was issued in 2006. Since that time, bassist Andy Hess has been replaced by Jorgen Carlsson, though Hess appears on two tracks at the end of the album. Carlsson's playing style is much more aggressive than Hess', and is therefore closer - in spirit anyway - to Gov't Mule's original bassist, the late Allen Woody, though he possesses an adventurous sense of time and is harmonically more colorful than either Woody or Hess. Carlsson and drummer Matt Abst are a solid match, since Abst is a drummer used to shifting ...

Sandy Salisbury is a lost voice from the 1960s, fortunately resurrected by the Rev-Ola reissues label, who issue a collection of his demos with EVERYTHING FOR YOU.
Sandy Salisbury was the most prolific member of the Millennium collective. Under the wing of mastermind and producer Curt Boettcher, Salisbury spent his days recording demos in his Hollywood Hills home thinking they were going to be taken around for possible use by other artists. Unbeknownst to him, Boettcher kept the songs under wraps for use on future Millennium releases that never came to pass. Thanks to fervent fans like Joe Foster of Rev-Ola and fellow Millennium cohort Joey Stec of Sonic Past, the demos Salisbury recorded have been unearthed bit by bit. Everything for You is a 25-track collection of recordings made both in Salisbury's home studio and in various studios around L.A. A few of the tracks have been on other releases ("So Close to Heaven," "Candy Kisses," "Here Comes That Feeling"), but the rest have never been on record before. This collection is a step below those that have come out already, as many of the songs are slight and a few are even uninteresting, a charge that can't be leveled against his other collections. The main offenders are the tracks recorded in studios that have little or no production values; the songs he recorded at home and put some sonic care into come off the best. That being said, there are still a healthy number of gems to be found; "A Lot of Love in Me" is a silly ditty that would have been perfect for Tommy Roe, "Bring Me On Home Again" is a sweet lullaby with wonderful vocals, "Pretty As a Picture" is a fine slice of beach bubblegum, and "Together in the End" and "Some Other Place" are driving folk-rock love songs that someone like the Hollies could have made into hits. Unfortunately, the best songs are the three that were already released; "So Close to Heaven" is a pounding countrified bubblegum track with a great chorus, "Candy Kisses" sports a huge hook and again would have been right for Tommy Roe, and "Here Comes That Feeling" is a tough rocker with a killer chorus. It is a pity none of these three, or any of the rest, found a home outside of Boettcher's vault. It is also a pity that Stec didn't do a little judicious trimming of the tracks here. At 25 tracks, it is overlong. At 17 or 18, it would have been very, very solid. Still, anything that Salisbury was involved with is worth ...
