Mellow Country
$14.69 
Why Tony Joe White isn't spoken of in the same revered tones as J.J. Cale is a mystery as well as a crime. White invented a brand of greasy, funky, deeply soulful Louisiana bayou rock that's been quoted by everyone from the Neville Brothers and the Meters to Marvin Gaye to the Red Hot Chili Peppers to ZZ Top to Funkadelic to the Cramps to the Gun Club to the White Stripes. Mark Knopfler owes his entire guitar playing approach to White. OK, enough bitching. Snakey is the most aptly titled Tony Joe record in some time. Here that shadowy guitar style, with its serpentine leads and chunky, syncopated chords, catches a groove that is echoed by Little Troll Forrest's basslines punching through the pocket just ahead of Boom Boom Cohen's drumming. The songs -- whether it be "Feeling Snakey," with its screaming leads and soulfully regretful message about leaving the booze alone to uncoil the body and mind to boasting about how your woman knows how to make the ...
| | Bevis Frond New River Head CDs (1991)
Mellow Country
$15.39
Though Nick Saloman can never be said to necessarily, or at least obviously, progress from release to release, he does have a knack for ensuring that each Bevis Frond album has something interesting. It's when he puts everything together to create a consistently strong record that notice is due, and Frond's 1991 effort stands out in that regard. His slightly mournful, weary vocals remain unchanged, as does the general feeling of pop/psych-rock with jamming tendencies. The core duo of Martin Crowley on drums and Saloman on everything else also continues, supplemented by a variety of guest performers. There's just that little something more here, though, that marks New River Head as a good starting point for anyone interesting in discovering more about the Frond. The first couple of songs are mostly Saloman-by-the-numbers, but then he hits a great winning streak, starting with "Waving," a gentle folk ballad which adds a violin for an effect that's just melancholy enough and results in an honestly heart-catching little track. Following that is the title song, a strong feedback crunch that welds Saloman's ear for a good hook with his considerable playing abilities well. The disc continues in the same, fine general vein from that point on, ranging from the Byrds-inflected guitar chime of "He'd Be a Diamond" to the soft, then shroomy, head-nodding "Stain on the Sun." The standout is "The Miskatonic Variations II," a nearly 17-minute ambient-to-full-blown-noise jam recorded with a guest bassist, guitarist, and sax player, not to mention Current 93's lead figure, David Tibet, adding some chants on top of it all. Throw in a variety of other niceties here and there, like the brief garage-rock blasts "Undertaker" and "Chinese Burn," and New River Head winds up being a slice of Frond at his high-powered best. ~ Ned Raggett
The Beve's early catalog reissue program continues apace, only now they're starting to get to the cream of the crop. This 1990 LP is the record that put Nick Saloman on the map, via timely release here on Restless, with a batch of up and down rockets that contained a few uncontestable gems, which thankfully utterly failed to go unnoticed! (Even those who bought the LP 13-years-ago will find reason for purchase. Recalling that the original issue was edited to fit on one disc, this new remastered reissue restores the original length and 21-song playing order, which takes two CDs to accomplish. Additionally, that's all followed by nine bonus tracks, including the original bonus single Saloman gave away with his U.K. vinyl edition, three rougher demo versions, and four unreleased tracks. Bonanza!) For those investigating New River Head for the first time, ...
| | Moot Davis CD (2004)
Mellow Country
$9.45
Although born and raised in New Jersey, Moot Davis has honky tonk in his blood. He sounds like a throwback to the time when Hank Williams Sr. ruled country music. In fact, there is a lot of Hank Sr. in Davis' twangy timbre as he sings about such classic country themes as love, heartache, drinking, and traveling the rails and roads. Expertly aided by his producer/guitarist/label owner Pete Anderson, Davis takes a simple, lean approach to songwriting, which totally fits his traditional country style. It is to Davis' credit that all of the songs on this record sound like jukebox gems from the '50s and '60s. The superb "One of a Kind" could have been a love song standard in a number of country music eras. It's also to Davis' (and Anderson's) credit that this album bursts with life, and not simply being a studious re-creation of a bygone musical style. Anderson's savvy production touch can be found in the mournful "Last Train Home," which inventively utilizes mandolin and trumpet to create a particularly country noir mood. Also making a valuable contribution is Gabe Witcher, whose fiddle work enlivens tunes like "Jug of Wine" and "Nothin'." Davis travels a similar road as such fellow tradition-minded honky-tonkers as the Derailers and Wayne Hancock, with hints of the former heard in "Thanks for Breakin' My Heart" and the latter in "Highway Kind." Still a relatively young performer, Davis, however, demonstrates a veteran's presence from the opening track "Thick of It Now" ...
