COOTERFINGER / Smells Like Rock 'n' RollBy Milo IppolitoAnybody can play rock music. But when you call your sound "Rock n Roll" you better deliver the stuff. A rock n roll band gotta twang -- like them good ol' Southern boys, the Rolling Stones. A rock n roll band gotta be smart enough to play dumb, like the Ramones. A rock n roll band gotta know who Johnny Thunders was. ... Cooterfinger plays rock n roll. ... Smells like Rock n Roll is the latest album by lo-fi trashabilly home taper James Richard Oliver, who wrote all the songs and plays all the instruments. The new "band" name, Cooterfinger, is sure to attract new fans and impress the ladies (are you sure about this, James?) ... Oliver is most lyrically inventive on opener "Anita is my girlfriend." The way he drawls it, you can't tell if he's saying Anita or "I need a ..." on lines like "Anita smoke, need a drink, need a pee." He gets funky on "Piss n Moan," a bit of Southern swamp stomp with lines like "Tryin' to keep up with the Jones. Drinking like George while Tammy's gone." (Note to stoners: George and Tammy were like the Tommy Lee and Pamela of the Grand Ole Opry.) "My Karma's Gonna Find You" is equal parts country and punk without sounding like a forced "cowpunk" hybrid. The natural ease with which Oliver blends these two folk forms shows how similar they really are and how much he respects them both. "You broke my heart, now I'm killing my liver, spitting out blood and pissin' a river." That line could have been written by Hank Sr. or Lee Ving (from Fear). "It's Rock n Roll" is the closest I've ever heard James come to Raw Power-era Iggy, and "It's all over but the cryin'" is pure 60s garage band riff rock along the lines of the Seeds. ... If you are a big fan of the Cramps and Jason and the Scorchers, you can't go wrong with this album. Mike Ness fans should dig it, too. (Oh yeah, and guys who dig songs about drinking, crying and peeing will love Smells like Rock n Roll.)

Purchase Smells Like Rock N' Roll CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | John Mayer Battle Studies CD (2009)
Smells Like Rock N' Roll album
 $11.18   
It's no secret that John Mayer is a 21st Century Fox, wining and dining women all through tabloid headlines, so it's about time he delivered an album that traded upon his loverman persona -- and Battle Studies is that record in spades. Retaining more than a modicum of the slick, soul-blues undertones of Continuum, Mayer fashions a modern groove album, a record that maintains a smooth seductive vibe so thoroughly it spills into a one-man band cover of "Crossroads." Mayer remains somewhat of a disciple of Slowhand, but he shows an unusual interest in the big AOR stylings of Journeyman, along with Stevie Ray Vaughan's In Step, creating a coolly clean blend of ...

Smells Like Rock N' Roll album
$12.15
Formed in August 2001, this quartet has been rocking the Southeast ever since. With appearances alongside outfits such as Fluid Tuesday, Mink, and Groove Addiction, Seventy % Water continue to build their following and attract new folks to the party with every show and their debut CD, Something Real. Something Real captures the raw energy of the foursome as they plow through 11 powerful rock-n-roll pieces. From the opening groove of 'This Funk' to the jam-session of 'Passable' on through the introspective and uplifting title track and winding up with the no-holds-barred rock anthem 'Groove On' the CD demonstrates a band still discovering what they can accomplish and still learning to harness the synergy that exists between them. Seventy % Water's sound stems from the powerful riffs of guitarist David Ladd and the catchy, hook-laden lyrics and melodies of vocalist Gerald Sims. When laid on atop the foundation of moving grooves from the ultra-tight ...

No one...and they were right!Who are the Yolles Brothers? And what is this music, you might ask (even rhetorically)? Well, funny I should mention it, because that reminds me of a famous pose....there, that was it. Anyway:The Oxword Engrish Dixtionary defines Joe Yolles (guitar, bass, vocals, ...
