| | Meat Puppets Sewn Together CD Meat Puppets Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
The further removed legendary twang-punks Curt and Cris Kirkwood get from their brief, "Backwater"-fueled period of commercial success, it's more difficult to believe that they every strayed from their original loose-and-limber formula. There are some odd diversions on SEWN (like the nearly romantic sort-of ballad "Sapphire"), but for the most part, everything on TOGETHER will satisfy diehard fans, who have adopted the Puppets as their own hard-edged update of the Grateful Dead. It's fun to hear the brothers burn the house down on "Rotten Shame" and make straightforward concessions to country staples on "Smoke," but "The Monkey And The Snake," with its pitter-pat percussion and goofy, whistle-anchored chorus, is the best reminder that the Puppets are alive and recording meaty albums.
Audio Remasterer: Bruce Templeton.
Meat Puppets: Curt Kirkwood (vocals, guitars, mandolin); Cris Kirkwood (vocals, synthesizer, bass guitar); Ted Marcus (drums).
Audio Mixers: Colt Leeb; Kevin Bowe.
Spin (p.92) - "[T]he interplay of Curt's drowsy vocals and freaky guitar can still induce vertiginous spells -- witness the dreamy yet insistent 'Blanket of Weeds'..."
CMJ - "[T]he Meat Puppets continue to produce the same genre-blending sound that made Kurt Cobain such a fan....'Sewn Together' provides the full, lucid sonic experience."
Pitchfork (Website) - "SEWN TOGETHER is competent psych-tinged rock....The vocal delivery fits the mood of each song....SEWN TOGETHER is gently rustic..." Meat Puppets Sewn Together Songs | 1. | Sewn Together | |

Sewn Together Music Review Purchase Sewn Together CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chills Kaleidoscope World CD (1986) (Import) Import; Australia
Sewn Together album
 $23.75
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD contains 10 bonus tracks and represents everything the band recorded through early 1986, including all of the LOST EP, and the I LOVE MY LEATHER JACKET/THE GREAT ESCAPE 12"
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD, The Chills' 18-track compilation culled from The Chills early and mid-'80s EPs and singles, is highlighted by the song "Pink Frost."
The Chills' Martin Phillipps mixes up melodic pop with elements of garage rock and punk, creating songs with a sweet melancholy all their own. Phillipps has always been the focus of the Chills, writing and singing the band's songs. His group has also rivaled Menudo in its sheer number of personnel changes. In a just world, the Chills would have sold just as many records.
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD showcases the shifting line-ups and many moods of the early to mid-'80s Chills. "Rolling Moon" captures a mood of shambling joy, its simple, repeated keyboard riff sounding like a distant caravan crossing New Zealand's big-sky country. "Pink Frost" is undoubtedly one of the Chills' two or three finest songs, an eerie tale of finding one's lover ...
| | Killing Floor CD (1995) (Import) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak; Germany
Sewn Together CD music
$18.79
The sheer toughness -- and overall derivative -- nature of Killing Floor's debut album, issued six months after Led Zeppelin's debut in 1969 on the Spark label, is a wondrous contrast to the overly slick treatment American blues were given by British artists. All of these tunes, with the exception of one, are revamped versions of songs from the blues canon with different words. The lone "cover" in the set was written by Willie Dixon titled "Woman You Need Love," the tune Zep ripped for "Whole Lotta Love." Despite the fact that this set was issued before by Repertoire, the Akarma version is definitive in that it features the original cover artwork in a heavy cardboard gatefold sleeve, and killer sound. This is a raw, immediate, overdriven, psychedelic blues record that offers an interesting historical counterpoint to the immediate impact of Page and Plant and Co., but it also offers a great contrast to the recent 1990s versions of American groups trying to rock up the blues in like style: Jon Spencer Blues Explosion immediately comes ...
| | Danny Kirwan Second Chapter CD (1975) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
Sewn Together music CDs
$19.79
The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two different musical worlds. "Odds and Ends" is more lighthearted, the kind of music Paul McCartney toyed with on The White Album's "Rocky Raccoon." What Second Chapter immediately sets forth is the importance of Kirwan as a pop artist, and how, despite Fleetwood Mac's success after he left, his sounds could still have been beneficial to that supergroup. "Hot Summers Day" is a fine example of that, a beautiful song that could offset Buckingham's gritty ramblings. It would have made a nice counterpoint as Stevie Nicks complemented Christine McVie's tunes with her adventures, bringing an important change of pace to that popular band's hits. The jacket looks like a dusty old family album-style book ...

While the Meat Puppets' desert punk has always had ample doses of FM radio riffs and pure pop melodies, RISE TO YOUR KNEES (2007) may be the most effortlessly listenable album of the band's career. Marking the first time the brother's Kirkwood had recorded together in over a decade, the album is packed full of swirling, sunbaked guitar squiggles, ...
