The Streetwalkin' Cheetahs - Gainesville

To this day, I still listen to CD's more than any other format - I can listen at work (unlike vinyl) as well in my car and I have access to nearly all of my music this way, as I don't have everything online. Anyway, I, naturally, randomly go through my thousands of CD's and once in a while I notice something that I haven't heard for ages for one reason or another. This album, the Cheetahs final studio hurrah before breaking up, is one of those. These cats were - and are - good friends of mine, I have played in the band for live shows and some recordings and my wife Melanie appears on this record on several songs. So, be forewarned, I can be prejudiced. In any case, I think this is probably their best work - it has plenty of their over-the-top high-energy power, but balances it with Beatles-esque pop along with plain ol' rock'n'roll. Here founding members Frank Meyer and Art Jackson are joined by Eric Hermann (drummer extraordinaire) and bassist John Ramirez (Tony Fate also plays bass on some tunes), among others, for a fine, freaked-out farewell.

Opening with the comparatively mellow, Mellatron-led "Good Morning" (highly Beatles-like, in a "Strawberry Fields" kinda way), they then blast into the furious punk rock of "Strangled By Love" followed by one of my faves, the somewhat Who-like (dig those drums!) catchy hard rock of "When God and the Devil Agree" (love the lyrics!). In "Geek Like Me" they provide some potent pop (fantastic harmonies from Melanie!) while "Ward 6" is a fairly harrowing power ballad (in a good way). There's more frantic-ness in "Destination Zero", some 70's hard rock cliches (purposefully) in "Rock & Roll Fade Away", a bit of Cheap Trick thievery in "December in a Day" and some drone-y rock with wild riffery in "Come to Mind".

Back to the fast'n'frenzied 3 chords for "Born Leader", then a slow, 70's-styled ballad of madness in "Crucified", some spooky, mid-tempo'd rock of "One in the Chamber", a hint of country-pop in "On My Way" (C&W guitar licks courtesy of Tony Fate), slightly funky hard rock in "Preach", fast punk mixed with dopey, rock cliches lyrics (again, on purpose) in "Larger Than Life" (with some nicely psychotic slide guitar work) before closing with the big 70's rock anthem (with great overlapping vocals) "Kiss Me Twice Tonight" that fades into a cool, Robin Trower-like ending.

Throughout the record, Frank is in great voice - ranging from throat-wrenchin' screams to pure melody - and plays some stellar lead guitar, while the rest of the band's backing is strong'n'tight'n'powerful. The song-writing is some of their strongest, even as they parody'n'steal sorta in the manner of Turbonegro, and the production is terrific. Definitely one of their best!

RIP Henry Storch

I was very saddened to learn of the untimely demise of our old friend Henry today. Henry's Unique Records released the first Tommyknockers 12: EP, along with a plethora of other amazing records throughout the year,s from garage, to rock to modern soul. He arranged and paid for two major tours for the TK's and introduced us to our great r'n'r buddies, the Embryonics, among many others. Besides Unique, he has also been a successful DJ in recent years. I owe Henry debts that I could never have repaid and that I am eternally grateful for. He will be missed by many from around the world.

Orthophonic Joy - The 1927 Bristol Sessions Revisited

This 2-CD set is dedicated to the famous 1927 Bristol, Tennessee wax cylinder recording sessions that made country music stars out of acts like Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family, among others. The "Revisited" sobriquet is due to the fact that this is not a collection of the original recordings (which I assume that someone must have compiled in one place by now and I should look for that!) but remakes of the tunes by current country artists such as Dolly Parton, Emmy Lou Harris, Steve Martin and many others who I am not overly familiar with. A narrator tells the story of the sessions and of the original songs, oddly spoken over the initial recordings. This just makes me want to hear the originals all that much more, but that said, the interpretations are all well done and respectful, even when the artist is someone who I would normally not listen to.

Due to the narration, this is not something to put on as usual background music while you go about your duties, but I went through this on a long drive through the desert and it kept me entertained. As I said, I would prefer a compilation of the pioneering recordings but this is absorbing and informative.

Shanda and the Howlers, Thee Swank Bastards, The Gentlemen of Four Outs at the Double Down, Saturday Feb 17, 2018


I can never play as often as I would like since other band members all have so many other commitments but I was able to put together this evening with some good friends and great musicians. The Gentlemen played first to a good crowd and while I personally wasn't at the top of my game, it was a fun set and we appreciate everyone who came out early for us.



(Gentlemen photo by Jules Phillips)

Thee Swank Bastards are the premier surf band in Las Vegas and this evening leader/guitarist Jess was joined by powerhouse drummer Turbo (arriving after playing a couple of sets across town with the New Waves) and bass whiz Jeff Murphy, along with eye candy Ivanna Blaize. They kept their set reasonable short'n'sweet with a few originals thrown in their mix of old school covers and with Jesse wandering through the club as he spit out super-charged riffs over Murphy's intricate bass lines and Turbo's rhythms. Great set!




I never get to see Shanda and the Howlers nearly as often as I would like for one reason or another, so I was glad to be able to get them on this bill (after guitarist Trevor played another gig earlier!). This evening they were aided'n'abetted by Turbo on drums (he just can't stop playing!) as well as founders Luke (bass) and Micah (sax). Shanda's Big Maybelle-like blues belting led the band through songs from their CD, Trouble, as well as covers like the Sonics' "Shot Down" and their ravin' closer "Shout". They threw in some new numbers from a record they recorded the previous weekend with Trevor smokin' on the first bluesy tune, a John Lee Hooker-styled pounder (that was all too short - this one could easily be expanded to great effect) and a James Brown-ish soul ballad highlighting Shanda's dynamic voice and culminating in a wild build up. Original drummer Keith sat in for two songs from Trouble (the title track and "She Don't Want a Man") even though he is recovering from a serious illness, proving that he is still pretty damn excellent, despite adversity. Great set all around and always a blast and a crowd favorite - see them whenever you can!











Unfortunately, real life and old age prevented me from sticking around for Stagnetti's Cock and Wild Ride, but I hope they had great sets, as well!

The All Togethers, JonEmery Dodds at the Huntridge Tavern, Friday Feb 16, 2018

The Huntridge Tavern is one of my favorite dive bar hang outs in town and when they have live music, the intimate setting allows for plenty of drunken fun. Bartenders extraordinaire Kate and Arty are a couple of the coolest in town and add to the good times here.

Accompanying the AT's this evening was the solo acoustic country tunes of JonEmery Dodds. I showed up a bit late so did not catch his entire set, but he had a strong voice and had some humorous songs (one about the movie Cannonball Run) and some straight, old school country, including an obligatory train number.



I've ranted'n'raved about the All Togethers innumerable times here and they never fail to entertain with their unique brand of acoustic Americana Hillbilly Jazz. With stand-up bass, cello and mandolin along with two acoustic guitars and pretty terrific 5 part harmonies, they went through songs from their various recordings, as well as a few new numbers. Ken normally takes the lead vocals, but Mike sang his original and Brandon did his punky version of "Folsum Prison". Lots of variety, from their ode to a still, "Copper Angel" to a frantic "Hangover Stomp" to a raucous "When the Night Comes" to their clever interpretation of "Baba O'Reilly". Always a good time, but I especially enjoy the in close quarters like this.

The New Waves at the Golden Tiki, Saturday Feb 10, 2018


I've been trying to get out to see the New Waves literally for years and since this was a Saturday night gig and drummer Turbo's birthday, I finally made it out. It seems that I am one of the last to see them, considering that the Tiki was more crowded than I have ever seen it this night.

As might be assumed from their name, the NW's do 80's New Wave tunes in a instrumental surf style - a funny gimmick, but one that people obviously love, as the packed house would attest. The three Mosrite guitars (more or less, one taking the guitar parts, one taking the keyboard parts and one taking the melody, although this would overlap and change depending on the song) were bolstered by the tight rhythm section as the blew through songs by the Cure, Gary Numan, the Knack, Devo, etc. Some songs transferred more successfully than others in my opinion, but that could be due to me not being a big 80's fan, as the audience was singing along pretty much the entire time. That's kind of a great gimmick on its own - almost like live karaoke! The plethora of effects gave them the proper mix of surf sounds and 80's tones and they looked snappily new wave with their black'n'red outfits. Everyone is a solid player and they certainly give the audience what they want! Fun time!

David Bowie - The Man Who Changed the World

This 2016 documentary appeared in Netflix so I thought I would give it a peek.

The film is somewhat fascinating in that the story is told mostly by archival interviews with Bowie and interviews with, frankly, second tier people who were part of his career - not any musicians, but lovers (there is even a bit of footage of an interview with Angie), producers and people who knew him and worked with him in some capacity.

Obviously, the film didn't get the rights to most (any?) of the original music, so they try to give the ambient sounds a bit of the proper flavor. Oddly, even the photos and footage that is used doesn't match the times that the narrator is speaking of, which is fairly disconcerting when trying to keep track of where they are in the tale.

The documentary does tell his biography, overall, although there are pieces, albums, people, personas, missing from the story, but I suppose that happens with any biography due to time limitations.

Reasonably interesting, especially the conversations with his 60's/70's lovers, but not a lot of new or groundbreaking information or footage (which was mostly modern), but still, another piece of the puzzle that was this ground-breaking chameleon of a musician.

63 Nuggets From the Cramps Record Vault

I picked this up primarily as I was looking for some red-hot rockabilly and while this has plenty of that (see the openers "Shame On You Miss Lindy", "My Hot Mama" and "Riding By"), there is a lot more here - wacky lounge, weird doo-wop and plenty more deranged madness - as you would assume would be in the Cramps' record collection!

There's lots of sax-fueled 50's instros and good, ol' fashioned rock'n'roll ("Hoy Hoy", "Teen Twist", "Little Bit", "Sexy Ways"), there's several selections that were obviously used by Lux'n'Ivy as a basis for some of their originals ("Cafe Bohemian", "DJ Blues"), 50's pop ("Little Angel", "Midnight Bus"), some over-the-top theatrics ("Deep River Blues"), some hip yackety-sax ("Devil Train", "Panic", "House Party"), novelty silliness (""Teenage Creature", "Wowsville", "Ala Carte", "Wiggling Fool"), bizarre doo-wop that borders on barbershop quartet ("Moonglow"), some ambiance ("Watusi APB"), serious doo-wop ("Behind the Door"), some sweet blues-based numbers ("Moasin'). some jumpin' jive ("Killin' Jive") and that's all just on the first CD of this 2-CD set!

There's even straight-out garage mania like "Rockin' Rochester", pure rockabilly (Rockin' Billy"!!, "Ballin' Keen", "One and Only", "Bop Boy", "Rattle Shakin' Mama"), teenage heartbreak "Lonely Saturday Night"), weird accordion lounge ("Cherokee", "Blue Tango"), fun surf ("Intoxica"), pure bizarreness (the slightly off key mix of Little Richard and lounge in "The Four Plaid Throats "The Message"), Kay Starr's old school vocal harmonies in the spooky "The Headless Horseman", just plain peculiar ("Song of the Nairobi Trio"), mysterious surf ("Dragonfly"), a neat instro/lounge version of "Why Don't You Do Right", Buck Owens' cooly sparse rockabilly of "Hot Dog" before closing with another piece of lounge oddness, "The Dancing Katydids".

Fun stuff and certainly representative of the wide variety of tastes the Cramps had. Just don't assume you are in for pure rockabilly and you'll have a fine time!

Roscoe Holcomb - The High Lonesome Sound

As I said in my review of Roscoe's An Untamed Sense of Control CD, I learned about the man via a documentary on Appalachian music and was immediately struck by his sound. A mix of traditional Appalachian melodies, bluegrass, gospel, country and more, his performances, while drawing from sounds heard in his Kentucky homeland, were both familiar and unique.

While I don't know if anyone would currently call his nasally voice "good" (although he was known to say that he had a "fine voice"), it is extremely powerful and emotional, with strident, drawn-out syllables that will touch you even if you don't find it necessarily traditionally pleasing. His guitar and banjo playing is certainly rooted in the bluegrass style, with an emphasis on swift finger-pickin', although it does take second place to his vocals. This CD, as with Untamed..., consists mostly of Holcomb on his own, whether it is singing a gospel song or a tale of moonshinin' acapella or doing guitar or banjo interpretations of traditional numbers like "Little Birdie", "In the Pines", "Trouble in Mind", "Motherless Children", "House in New Orleans" (aka "House of the Rising Sun") or an unrecognizable (to modern ears) "Old Smokey". Close your eyes and you can easily see him in the Kentucky mountain woods when he sings - he is the sound of that area.

The accompanying booklet gives a biography of the man by John Cohen, who helped to introduce him to the modern folk scene of the 50's and 60's. The section about the individual songs includes the unusual tunings that Holcomb used, which is particularly fascinating for this musician, as he used highly odd combinations.

Personally, I love this stuff and Holcomb is one of my favorite recent discoveries. Although acoustic, the feelings are raw'n'electric. Highly recommended!

RIP Dennis Edwards from the Temptations


Temptations Lead Singer Dennis Edwards Dead at 74

The Temptations were a huge part of the 60's and his voice on "Ball of Confusion" and "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" was fantastic. Another talent gone...

Central Avenue Sounds - Jazz is Los Angeles

I discovered this book after it was referenced in Dominic Priore's book, Riot on Sunset Strip, and picked it up to learn more about the early jazz scene in my home for decades, Los Angeles. I freely admit that I am not well versed in jazz, but it is a scene that fascinates me and I appreciate its history and its sounds.

Charles Mingus (all kinds of great stories about him!), Dexter Gordon, Big Jay McNeely, Lester Young, Johnny Otis, Lionel Hampton and many, many other characters populate the "first hand experience" stories and interviews that comprise this tale of jazz in Los Angeles. Although New York is a more well known hot spot for jazz, LA was vitally important in its emergence as a popular art form in the United States and Central Avenue was the place to be in LA.

The first hand accounts quite naturally overlap, as the players are all from the same basic time period, so the same artists appear and are fleshed out as you go along. For example, there are three Woodman brothers who were local musicians but also had a studio/club/ hangout so their names come up regularly and are all interviewed separately.

The lives of these musicians are fascinating and they way they talk of Central Avenue and the areas that they lived in with so much fondness, despite the segregation, is truly interesting. Many of the schools were mixed, though, so different races did rub shoulders with each other, but they couldn't live together. One plus to that was that the upwardly mobile minorities were living side-by-side with the poor, so the lower class had role models - doctors, lawyers, teachers - to look up to who lived right next door. Many of those interviewed mention how this helped in the upbringing of the children, as opposed to today where the only people with money in the neighborhoods might be drug dealers.

Naturally, there is a lot of talk about the amalgamation of the black and white musicians' unions, well before the historical 1954 Brown v Board of Education Supreme Court ruling. While most people thought that the segregation should end, many foresaw - correctly - the drawbacks for the black community, most especially the lack of camaraderie and their own venue (the union headquarters) for meeting/jamming/discussing/writing/etc.

I really wasn't sure how I enjoy the book due to my lack of knowledge of the subject, but I found this quite entertaining and informative. Definitely a great resource for those interested in Los Angeles' rich music past.
