 (2 Customer Reviews)
With his beetle brows, his occasional penchant for lyrics dealing with damnation and salvation, and his startlingly deep and resonant voice, you might be forgiven for mistaking Dale Watson for a honky tonk version of Nick Cave. Then again, the whole idea of a honky tonk version of Nick Cave is weird enough that maybe you wouldn't be forgiven after all. And besides, for all of his themes of heartbreak and loneliness, Watson is clearly having much more fun than Cave ever has, and this odds-and-sods collection (containing "some old songs that I had written but never recorded and have received many requests for at live shows") finds him having even more fun than usual, with tunes that he takes just seriously enough to keep in the repertoire but not seriously enough to weigh them down. Hence the barroom genius of songs like "It Hurts So Good" and the joyfully anguished "Sit and Drink and Cry," and the rip-roaring Cajun two-step of "I Ain't Been Right, Since I Been Left." "I Wish I Was Crazy Again" contains the brilliant couplet "You know they say I went crazy/And by crazy I mean mentally insane," "Truckin' Queen (I Got My Nightgown On)" is, yes, about a transvestite truck driver, and "Tequila and Teardrops" flirts dangerously with Latin jazz. What kind of honky tonk country music is this? The whacked-out kind, which is to say, just about the very best kind. ~ Rick Anderson

Liner Note Author: Dale Watson.
Dirty Linen (p.54) - "Several songs are worthy additions to the canon of drinking songs....[With] fan favorites that the artist had yet to record."
No Depression (p.134) - "Watson has used his last-call-defying barroom baritone and his knack for honky-tonk wordplay to uphold a fading tradition."

Whiskey Or God CD music
$14.75
A natural-born honky tonk genius who's had the poor fortune of being born in the wrong decade, Dale Watson is the closest thing to Merle Haggard country music has produced since the late '70s, and his rough-hewn cry-in-your-beer style is as sincere as the day is long. For his seventh studio album, Watson has teamed up with another Texan with a fondness for country & western's noble past, Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel, and though Dreamland sounds a bit more polished than Watson's best work, Benson certainly understands Watson's ...

Tearing down the sacred cow that is Pink Floyd are the Squirrels.

AVEC LE TEMPS explores the career of French vocalist Leo Ferre, who sang in the same spirit as Jacques Brel and Edith Piaf, including the famous title track, his signature.
It's very difficult to put together a mere two-CD compilation of a man whose work spans over 60 years. French writer and singer Léo Ferré has released literally thousands of songs in his career, and this compilation offers a view of just a small but integral part of it. Ferré, who is the real art singer of the 20th century, whom Jacques Brel, Charles Trenier, Scott Walker, and many others emulated but never really paid their debt to, is an artist so far out on the fringe of what the term means that only the term "French artiste" can apply to him. He is the Picasso of music. Here, tracks from the years 1960-1973 are collected, a period when he was between the ages of 40 and ...
