Consider Ray Wallace a cult artist in search of a cult. His purposely bizarre themes include such pop-cultural collisions as "When the Partridge Family Meets the Manson Family," "Hitler's Gone Surfin' with Your Mother," "Positively John Wayne," and "Teenager's Letter to Batman" in three parts. Wallace's association with Spinout Records and the production talents of Eddie Angel (Los Straitjackets) would suggest something of a vintage rock-&-roll stripe, but while there are nods to '50s rock & roll here and some aping parody there (Dylanesque folk-rock), the prime allegiance seems to be to a timelessly willful weirdness. Wallace is not much of a vocalist or lyricist, and a lot of this seems like the work of a more oblique and circumspect Weird Al Yankovic. Frankly, there's not much to recommend this album, and there are easier ways to get a few laughs. ~ Erik Hage
Ray Wallace is like a psychotic Leonard Cohen on Ritalin. He's a product of the musically rich Washington, DC area, and seems to have inherited the same weird music gene that produced Link Wray. His interests run from Hitler's Third Reich to "Leave it to

Introducing Ray Wallace album
$15.79
Michael Ubaldini is far from a household name -- so resurrecting recordings that he made over a decade ago might not sound like a particularly promising endeavor. Sure, Mystery Train Sessions was produced by ex-Stray Cat Lee Rocker and features appearances by him and his Stray Cat comrade Brian Setzer. This disc, however, holds far more interest than just to Stray Cat completists. It comes fully stocked with enjoyable, rough-hewn rock & roll. The first two tracks -- "Don't Say Goodbye" and "Scratch My Back" -- are rugged rockabilly numbers that don't feel like museum pieces. "Scratch My Back," in particularly, is enlivened by Ubaldini's nimble guitar playing. It's on the next two songs that he shows his promise of being something more than a rockabilly revivalist. Both "Mardi Gras" and "Jean Harlow" break out of the rockabilly shell and bloom into muscular roots rock. "Mardi Gras" serves up a raucous portrait of (pre-Katrina) New Orleans while "Jean Harlow" ranks with the Smithereens' "Behind the Wall of Sleep" as a terrific straightforward rocker that compares a dream girl to a movie actress. The raspy-voiced Ubaldini, in fact, sounds like an East Coast roots rocker, but in actuality he is a popular member of the same Orange Country, CA, roots music scene that also spawned Mike Ness and Social Distortion. The rest of disc alternates between more rockabilly moves and classic rock-inspired tunes. On "Rock 'n' Roll Hot Legs/Jack on the Rocks," Ubaldini trades some sharp guitar licks with guest Michael Acosta's saxophone work. "Shake It One Time," meanwhile, is a hard-driving rocker that builds its riffs off of the Rolling Stones' "Happy," and "She's Gotta Move"'s ...
