James Mathus – National Antiseptic – Review

February 22, 2002

This guy formed the Squirrel Nut Zippers with his wife in the ’90s. I never knew he had blues guitar roots, but here they are.

Sweet Emotion – Songs of Aerosmith – Review

February 22, 2002

Aerosmith’s take on the blues always had/has plenty of rhythmn/funk/boogie woogie fun as well as the bit of the dealin’ with the devil at the crossroads part.

Les Pauls & Breaking Glass – A Compilation of Various Sin City Artists – Review

February 22, 2002

Great take on the good ol’ rock and roll apres ’77 division. Much like – and sharing bands with – the Fistful of Rock series.

I Am Vengeance – Review

February 22, 2002

This soundtrack works threefold; as a sampler of classicist doom-rooted metal, as a complement to the film, and as a listenable disc from horns to tail.

Fooz – Review

February 22, 2002

Fooz wade deeply into the riff rock/space rock/goofus rock/acid rock early-’70s without referring to the past 25 years for dick.

Colonel Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade – Live Frogs Set 1 – Review

February 22, 2002

Primus bass (etc.) player puts together a chops-heavy unit to really get after the goofus/progressive/jazz/third stream/funk/metal/surf fusion.

C Average – Second Reckoning – Review

February 22, 2002

Captain Beyond, Lucifer’s Friend, and Uriah Heeps’ most lucid riffs regunked by guys who banged out indie-era Monster Magnet and late period Black Flag.

Dexter Romweber – Chased by Martians – Review

February 15, 2002

He doesn’t mix “the hip-hop with the Southern rock” but mines a woozy out-of-time, out-of-space reality from the Eisenhower era with a similar black/white mix.

John Kay – Heretics & Privateers – Review

February 2, 2002

An OK Bob Segar rec. with mediocre humanist “save the workin’ people” lyrics done up in blues/folk voicings as befits his heritage/style.

Inhale 420 – The Stoner Rock Compilation – Review

June 4, 2001

A nice bandwagon-jumper of a comp aimed to get you on board with some of Spitfire’s heavier rock’n’roll bands.
