Even though Roy Loney parted company with the Flamin' Groovies in 1971 and his solo work has been sporadic ever since, the man remains a rock & roll howler of the first order, and this set recorded with the Longshots -- his Seattle-based backing band featuring Scott McCaughey and Tad Hutchinson of the late, lamented Young Fresh Fellows -- leaves little doubt that the man can still wail when the spirit moves him. Loney also continues to write fine songs these days, and there are a dozen spiffy new numbers on Shake It or Leave It; while Loney is still best known for the Groovies' garage/rockabilly fusion, he's got plenty of other tricks up his sleeve, and though longtime fans will welcome the rockabilly boogie of "Raw Deal" and the fuzzy garage rumble of "Don't Like Nothin'," Loney sounds just as comfortable with the faux-Western shuffle of "Big Fat Nada," the keening folk-rock of "The Great Divide," the Shakespearian whimsy of "Hamlet's Brother, Happy," and the moody semi-psychedelia of "Subterranean Waterfalls." Vocally, if Loney's voice isn't quite the flamethrower it was years ago, he can still make a band rock and he sounds strong and confident, and his guests -- including Deniz Tek of Radio Birdman, ex-Screaming Trees percussionist Mark Pickerel, and Windbreakers guitar ace Bobby Sutliff -- give him plenty of room to shine. Shake It or Leave It is a solid blast of rock action from a man who's been wailing across the better part of four decades, and he and his partners have plenty of life in them yet. ~ Mark Deming

Shake It Or Leave It album
$13.85 Although Scott McCaughey pays his bills as a loyal R.E.M. sideman, the longtime Young Fresh Fellows frontman's Minus 5 project has allowed him to explore his fundamental pop/rock leanings with colleague Peter Buck on albums like 2001's acclaimed Let the War Against Music Begin. Recorded in tandem with that set, I Don't Know Who I Am -- a limited-edition disc reportedly restricted to a pressing of just 2,000 copies -- is far darker and more experimental, as evidenced by the set launcher, "There Is No Music." Meshing a slide guitar with a brooding lo-fi feel, the song's alt-country leanings uneasily shift into the electronic-tinged "Myrna Loy." While there are contagious moments like "Rooting for the Plague" and the profane singalong "I Don't Want to Fuck Off Anymore," tunes like the heady "Disaster Nurse Fang" and "Dear Employer" (which is recycled but drastically stripped-down from its appearance on 2003's Down With Wilco and again boasts Jeff Tweedy) are as off-kilter as these alternative pop luminaries are likely to get. ...
| | Roy Loney Drunkard In The Think Tank CD (2004)
Shake It Or Leave It CD music
$12.85 Backed by a crack pick-up band that includes the Young Fresh Fellows/the Minus Five stalwarts Scott McCaughey, Jim Sangster and Tad Hutchinson as well as the Squirrels' Joey Kline, Roy Loney made one of his periodic comebacks with 2004's Drunkard in the Think Tank, his first album in a full decade and his best since 1979's classic Out After Dark. With production by Conrad Uno and McCaughey chipping in a couple of songs, Drunkard in the Think Tank basically sounds like Loney in front of a somewhat shambolic Fellows/Squirrels pick-up session, but unlike some of Loney's previous solo records, this album captures the combination of looseness and tension that was at the heart of the Flamin' Groovies classics like "Teenage Head," rather than just sounding like a boozed-up jam session. Great stuff, and Loney's best album in a full-quarter-century. ...
