Still chugging along three decades after members of Houston garage bands the Moving Sidewalks and the American Blues united in 1970, this little ol' band from Texas makes its mark on 2003 with MESCALERO, the trio's first album in four years. As one of the first blues-rock power trios to fuse synthesizers with their straightforward brand of boogie, ZZ Top continues down this same path throughout these 16 songs. The difference is the Tex-Mex border brushed-on flavor, be it the bilingual title cut, the techno-mariachi that is the Spanish-sung "Que Lastima," or the Dia de Los Muertos-inspired cover art. Also present and accounted for is the group's salacious sense of humor, which is readily apparent in the straightforward shuffle "Buck Nekkid" and equally rocked-out "Piece." Longtime fans of Memphis soul best known for their cover of Sam & Dave's "I Thank You," ZZ Top returns to the Stax/Volt canon for a crack at Lowell Fulsom's "Tramp," which is given a quirky reading thanks to the use of a filter on the vocals. Also tacked onto the last track is an uncredited cover of "As Time Goes By," sung by a gravelly sounding Billy Gibbons over slack-key-inspired guitar accompaniment.

Recorded at Foam Box Recordings, H-Town, Texas.

Personnel: Billy Gibbons (vocals, guitar); Dusty Hill (vocals); Frank Beard (drums).

Audio Mixer: Joe Hardy.

Recording information: Foam Box Recordings, H-Town, TX.

3 stars One Of The Best
Mescalero is one of ZZ's finest works. It gets with it and gets down. This is one rockin shot of "Krunchy" rhythym. Within you'll find a Texas-Louisiana kind of swamp blues flavor stirred in with all the energy of a down-south full-tilt Tejano barbecue. Turn it up loud and jam your buck-nekkid behind off. Then you'll know "What It Is". No other band rocks like Reverend G and the boys. Guaranteed you'll play this one over and over, if for no other reason, than to sonically blow-out and impress your friends after a night of partyin' and hard-drinkin'. They'll love ya for it. Spin it around, you'll see!

5 stars Mescalero is ssssssssmokin!!
Mescalero rocks!! The nasty tones, the driving basslines, the hoppin drums, it all adds up to the best album ZZTop has done in a long time. Hot Spots include Buck Nekkid[my favorite], Piece[we all want a little lol], Punk A$$ Boyfriend, and Stackin Paper. ZZ Top is still the king of the gutbucket, dirty, fire breathin, blues rock bands!! Go ahead, give Mescalero a shot, and see if you don't breathe fire, too!! sssssssssssmokin!!

Another ZZ Top classic filled with great songs. It's a shame that it was mostly overlooked by the masses.

Foghat Decades Live CDs  (2003) Remastered

Mescalero album
CD $18.05  4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Recorded in 1977, 1980, 1996 and 1999. Includes liner notes by Colin Escott. While the album's title is deceiving -- all but five of the 18 tracks on this double disc originate from the '90s, and 11 of those are from the same show -- this is an adequate, well-recorded document of both the original and re-formed versions of Foghat running through their established repertoire. It also works as a tribute to Lonesome Dave Peverett, the group's lead singer and primary songwriter, who died of cancer in February 2000, about a year after the most recent recording ...

Additional personnel includes: Don Summers (bass); Tom Moore (organ); Lanier Greg (bass); Dan Mithcell (drums). Recorded between 1968 & 1992. Includes liner notes by James Austin, Tom Vickers. Prior to 2003's Chrome, Smoke & BBQ, ZZ Top's catalog was crying out for a comprehensive retrospective. Not that the band hadn't been anthologized before: they had two hits collections, with notably different track listings, and in 1987's Six Pack, they even had a makeshift box set, but all three of these were hampered by limited focus and haphazard execution.

Forever Blue
Chris Isaak Forever Blue CD  (1995)

Mescalero CD music
CD $9.75  3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
FOREVER BLUE was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. "Somebody's Crying" was nominated for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. What most people remember about Chris Isaak's infamous video for the 1989 single "Wicked Game" is that he gets the beautiful woman. That's because most people weren't listening. Chris Isaak's entire oeuvre is about losing beautiful women, and he has lost them with a heart-rending relentlessness that makes Roy Orbison seem like a romantic success in comparison. The remarkable FOREVER BLUE, his fifth album, was written after a personal event that Isaak says "wasn't actually like a break up. It was like an explosion." For someone who seems to almost cultivate romantic depression, that must have been nothing short of inspirational, and on FOREVER BLUE he turns the resulting emotions (sadness, bitterness, loneliness) into a sustained thesis on the wicked game of love. The growling, swamp-blues opener "Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing" portrays true love as a knife, a thing that hurts more and more the deeper it goes. It begins with the question "You ever love someone so much you thought your little heart was gonna break in two?" Isaak obviously has, and ...

Tunnels Progressivity CD  (2002)

Mescalero music CDs
CD $13.85  Audio Samples
Led by former Brand X fretless bassist Percy Jones, this maddeningly creative, wild, and sometimes experimental trio makes no bones about its desire to carry on in the hardcore jazz fusion traditions of the risk-taking era of Miles Davis, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Tony Williams. They're very good natured about the sacrifice of possible commerce for art's sake. In their liner notes, they actually say something about the recording containing tonal nastiness, dissonance, harmonic ...

Mescalero music CDs
CD $16.79  4.8 stars Audio Samples
Sweden's Therion have been lauded the world over, just about, for their wildly influential and experimental symphonic heavy metal; it incorporates not only classical ambitions and arrangements, but the integration of European folk and even industrial elementals into their sound. Add to this guitarist, songwriter and conceptualist Christofer Johnsson and (non)performing scholar/lyricist Thomas Karlsson's collective studied knowledge of myths, arcane occult knowledge, and folklore from around the globe (East of the Atlantic anyway) and you have the very beginnings of Therion's reach and command of artful heavy music. Johnsson added an opera singer (and now two) a couple of years back to bring life to his simultaneously pretentious and operatic vision of a quadrology of Nordic myth that began with Secret of the Runes, continued in the simultaneously issued Sirius B and Lemuria, and sees its grand -- and oh is it grand -- finale in Gothic Kaballah, the most righteous vision of excess heavy metal has ever seen. Gothic Kaballah ...
