It’s been 23 years since the Toadies started playing rock music in Fort Worth, Texas, but even the band will admit that the road they’ve taken over that lengthy period of time has been anything but smooth.
While waiting six years for the Toadies’ Hell Below/Stars Above to be released by Interscope, Vaden Todd Lewis and Taz recorded this Burden Brothers EP.
Todd Lewis has a Robert Plant vibrato that quakes with fury, trembles with passion and longing, and purrs like a finely-tuned muscle car at a stop light.
Seven songs from John Carpenter’s sequel to the futuristic adventure flick Escape From New York and seven more songs that to increase the sales of the CD.
While most of the covers of Saturday morning television songs are fun to listen to, I prefer the originals. But the packaging is magnificent and informative.
