 (6 Customer Reviews)
When Kid Rock sang that you'll never meet a "m*********** quite like me," he apparently had not yet met Huck Johns. Another native of Detroit, Johns serves up a mix of hard rock and hip-hop, country, and classic rock on his 2006 debut, Huck, that's a dead-ringer for Kid, right down to the raspy delivery and a Bob Seger cover. There are few characteristics that separate Johns from Rock. For one, he can mimic the Black Crowes with startling acumen, as he does on "Answer," one of the album's undeniable highlights. He can also execute pure meathead alt-metal quite effectively, as he does on "Kill Everything," one of the album's lowlights. But for the most part, Johns follows the pattern Kid Rock laid down on Devil Without a Cause and Cocky, alternately rapping to hard rock, belting out Southern rock, or crooning tear-in-yer-beer outlaw country ballads. He lacks Bob Ritchie's humor, storytelling skills, mock-ironic swagger, and white-trash sex appeal, not to mention the down-and-dirty funkiness of the Twisted Brown Trucker band, for which he substitutes flattened, grinding metallic guitars, a regular-guy-next-door voice, and an unfortunate predilection for Staind-style earnest crooning, but apart from that, Huck is a good approximation of post-Devil Kid Rock. Now, whether or not that's something that's needed is another question entirely, but for those who wanted a new Kid Rock album instead of the live album he released in 2006, this might be worth a spin. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Purchase Huck CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Them Crooked Vultures CD (2009)
Huck album
 $11.19   
Often, supergroups wind up dominated by one particular personality - think Eric Clapton in Derek & the Dominos, Jack White in the Raconteurs -- which makes the egalitarianism of Them Crooked Vultures all the more remarkable. Of course, when it comes down to it, it's a group of three natural-born collaborators: John Paul Jones, the old studio pro who gravitated toward provocative partners after Led Zeppelin's demise, teaming up with R.E.M. as easily as he did with avant-queen Diamanda Galas and nu-folkster Sara Watkins; Dave Grohl, who hopped into an empty drummer's chair whenever the opportunity presented itself; and Josh Homme, who set up a mini-empire based entirely on jam sessions. If Them Crooked Vultures brings to mind Homme's projects more than Grohl's or Jones', it's largely due to his role as lead vocalist and how guitar can push a rhythm section as powerful as this to the side, dominating with its grinding riffs and solos. Homme's predilection for precision does reign supreme -- when the group stretches out, even wallowing in the murk on "Interlude with Ludes," there's the sense that, like a great improv troupe, the ...
| | Rosanne Cash List CD (2009)
Huck CD music
$14.45 
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for this wonderfully nuanced outing that brims with a kind of redemptive timelessness. THE LIST is a renewal and a testament to life, and it belongs to her father as much as it belongs to her, a beautiful restatement of her father's passions, only now, they've become his daughter's ...

Huck album
$49.49
Recorded live at Madison Square Garden, New York, New York on November 27-28, 1969.
Returning to the American concert scene after a three-year layoff, the Rolling Stones recorded GET YER YA-YA'S OUT! during a triumphant two-date stand at Madison Square Garden in late November 1969 that found B.B. King and Ike & Tina Turner opening for them. Having amassed an impressive recorded output during their three years away from touring, the Stones peppered their sets with hits, including "Honky Tonk Women," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "Street Fighting Man." Tipping their collective hats to Chuck Berry, the band also included covers of "Carol" and "Little Queenie" alongside more blues-influenced numbers such as "Stray Cat Blues" and "Love In Vain."
Having been a member of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, new guitarist Mick Taylor parlayed his experience into some impressive slide guitar work. The pièce-de-resistance of what is ...

"Though large-scale success eluded these prophetic '60s combos, consider them the foot soldiers in the Holy War against the establishment," proclaims the back cover of this collection of 28 obscure garage rock singles. When they call these foot soldiers obscure, they mean it; no band here had minor or regional hits, or even accumulated a lasting cult reputation. So this will duplicate little if any of the items in the collection of the garage enthusiast, and the sound is better than it is on most such anthologies. In all, though, it's fair but unremarkable for its type. Some cuts jump out a little, like "Girl Give Me Love" by the Little Bits, who sound all of ten or so years old (although the lead singer snarls and screams ...
| | Laura Love Fourteen Days CD (2000)
Huck songs
$15.05
Continuing her genre-bending tradition, Fourteen Days marks Laura Love's first release for Zoe Records. These 11 songs travel through the two years since her last record, documenting her life's occurrences in melody and rhythm. Based in Seattle, WA, Love was a witness to the World Trade Organization protests in November 1999. The events had a powerful effect on her, inspiring "In Seattle," a meandering piece that stresses the importance of the environment over the globalization of Nike and the like. Laura Nyro's death in 1997 also had an impact on Love. In tribute, she offers her take on "Stoned Soul Picnic." A little bit jazz, a little bit soul, it fits comfortably into Love's set list. Not only does she dance between styles from track to track, but even within the same song. Take "Way Off the Hook" -- it starts out on the prairie with a smooth acoustic guitar and soft harmonica. Without notice, it turns a sharp corner into the urban landscape of funk bass, saxophone, and accordion. Go figure. Somehow she pulls it off, tying in a bit of scat along the way. Then, into the jazz lounge we go on "Suddenly," before ending on the quiet notes of the traditional "Shenandoah." Although Love is a niche artist, Fourteen Days will surely please her loyal following while luring in new fans with its accessible uniqueness. ~ Kelly McCartney
Recorded at Bear Creek Studio, Woodinville, Washington.

| | Magazine Rays & Hail 1978-81 CD (1987) (Import) United Kingdom
Huck album
$8.45
Buzzcocks leader Howard Devoto maintained his legendary status with Magazine. RAYS & HAIL 1978-1981 covers Devoto's post-punk years and includes the tracks "Shot By Both Sides," "Back To Nature," and "Song From Under The Floorboards."
The definitive single-disc collection of Magazine, a perfect starting point for the neophyte, Rays and Hail covers the three years of the band's existence with highlight after highlight on display. Devoto's mastery of a lyrical and musical approach that wedded chilly paranoia with explosive punk and post-punk energy -- as suspicious of emotion as Wire or the Gang of Four, yet at the same time more accepting and obsessed with emotion than most others at the time -- resulted in a series of jawdroppingly grand songs. Such compositions as "Feed the Enemy" and "Because You're Frightened" showcased the balance well, not to mention the excellent performances of such bandmembers as John McGeoch on guitar and Barry Adamson on bass. The only real rarity per se is the original single take on "Shot By Both Sides," one of the many landmark tracks Devoto and Pete Shelleywrote in early days together, and which, in Magazine's hands, become a fierce statement of intent. The incorporation ...
