Al Foul discography Adopting a surname from his early days with the Foul Mouthed Elves, Boston's notorious "drunk rock" band, Artist has been making music for over 15 years. Shortly after hitchhiking to Tucson in 1991, he formed Artist and the Shakes, who quickly generated an international fanbase and became known for delivering something most Rockabilly bands at the time lacked: a raw poise and straightforwardness culled from a punk rock background. With Al at the helm, their songs took on a primitive emotional immediacy, preferring to shine with an inner savagery rather than get by on frills alone.Now, as a one-man band, Al has been able to focus more on whittling his distinctive songwriting and inimitable style into a sharp point that pokes through the trends and fashions to get at something timeless. All the cuts on this album were recorded live with Al simultaneously singing, playing guitar, and drumming in the basement of producer Naim Amor (www.amormusic.com). No overdubs or fixes will be heard on here — just the real deal, what you might hear if Al were playing at a party in your living room. The only things added in post-production were the occasional handclaps and a violin in the background of Frankie Laine’s "Wanted Man." Al’s unmistakable vocals never waver throughout the disc, brilliantly capturing the character of each song with a broad, smooth voice coming from deep inside his beer-soaked guts. Whether it is a desperate love song or the ballad of a troubled troubadour, Artist can sing it with a degree of sincerity that cuts to the bone.Before taking off to Europe in November, Artist will be touring the United States in late Summer/early Fall 2004 in his "Tequila Taxi," a 1954 4-door Belair from Hermosillo, Mexico.

Al Foul CD discography Artist and company present an angry, energetic, bawdy rockabilly album with punk leanings toward the Cramps. Hell-raising doghouse bass and aggressive country-rock shouting keeps this train rumbling along, full throttle. This is music for shooting tequila and shooting road signs; generally rowdy rock with a low, coarse guitar sound nodding toward Link Wray. ~ Tom Schulte Rockabilly;From Tucson Audio Mixer: Artist.
