Drunk Horse discography. Artist's third album, Adult Situations, is another mixed bag from a band that's way more artistically ambitious than just about every other band in the retro '70s hard rock sub-genre. They're also way smarter than most bands mining this...

Drunk Horse songs. Not to be confused with the alternative rock group Drunk, Artist sees to it that this self-titled CD is, for the most part, a rowdy and reckless party album. Much of Artist has a late 1960s/early 1970s kind of ambiance --...

Drunk Horse CD discography. Artist's second Man's Ruin album, Tanning Salon/Biblical Proportions, is an interesting departure from the band's self-titled debut album of 1999. Artist was a reckless, ballsy, riff-oriented hard rock party album that drew on such late-'60s and early-'70s influences as the Rolling Stones, the Faces, and the Doors. Those influences haven't disappeared from Artist's music; however, Tanning Salon/Biblical Proportions is more eccentric and experimental than its predecessor. The term "party album" doesn't really describe this CD. Artist still rocks passionately, and it still loves a good riff. But this time, the tunes are quirkier and more left of center. Elements of art rock and avant-garde rock find their way to some of the material. Does this experimentation and strangeness pay off? For the most part, yes. Tanning Salon/Biblical Proportions is imperfect and mildly uneven; nonetheless, Artist's risk-taking is successful more often than not. For every idea that doesn't work, there are four or five that do. And while this CD isn't as accessible or as immediate as Artist's first album, it is definitely a creative step forward for the rockers. ~ Alex Henderson 2 LP's on 1 CD: TANNING SALON/BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS.
