A daunting task that few artists would choose to undertake, but after the chilly reception of their previous album due to what some have called it's over-produced sound, Roger Clyne and Cliff Norrell hatched this plan. And let's just say it worked.
The the visceral and raw sound that emanates from the speakers elicits a feel that these songs weren't just forced out, but needed to be made. It is a cathartic album that stands more as a statement to it's bold attempt than for any individual song, and that statement is "We still got it."
The great thing about this album is that when they get their ideas, they fire them off, and move on. There's no sitting around with a song, playing with it for three weeks or a month, only to find that the one chord is still alluding them, and junking it. Here it's get it down and move.
This is an album that both the band and the fans can be proud of. This is what happens when a band strips itself bare and finds out what's at it's core. And for Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, this is a very good thing.
If you are unfamiliar with RCPM, this might just be the introductory album for you, alluding to their previous work, while not repeating it.
About this product: Frontman Roger Clyne made 2 really good cds with his band, The Refreshments. Then he started making music with Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers... WHY? I can name about 6 songs from both Refreshment cds that are goddamn cool but the only song from all 4 Peacemaker cds is a number called "Tell yer Momma." Why is that? Roger -like Paul Westerberg of The Replacements- needs to realize that he does not define ... rock & roll on his own, BUT needs his buddies to fill-in the empty parts. I'll still buy Westerberg and Clyne cds... but these guys ought to know that they can be so much better when they combine their talents.
About this product: I have always been a Refreshments fan, but kind of dropped off when they split and it was a while before I realized Roger was still putting out great music.
I happened to be in Spokane on business this past fall, and saw that Roger and his Peacemakers were playing at the Big Easy. One of those better decisions in my life deciding to go. What a great show, and I hadn't heard a lot of his post-Refreshments stuff (although he played plenty of his Refreshments music) but all the songs were instantly likeable and good.
So I got Americano. Truly an excellent CD. Now I happen to favor his slower numbers-- "Switchblade," "Your Name on a Grain of Rice" and "Leave an Open Door" are my favorites, but the whole album is great for a rocking, rootsy listen. Roger's lyrical imagery has always brought me right to the dusty, hot but beautiful Southwest, and his storytelling and heartfelt musicianship are truly superb.
Roger Clyne does not compromise-- he writes and sings exactly what he wants to and what he is good at. It's too bad he has not garnered more credit and attention, although it makes it kind of nice since he plays at such small, intimate venues and you can actually meet him/buy his band a beer after the show.
I have introduced this album to about a half-a-dozen people so far, and they have all loved it. It is one of my favorites of last year, and if I ever get a chance to see him live again I will do it in a heartbeat.
About this product: Ok, last time we caught up with the godfather of rap he beat willie green and crooked politicans in a brilliant film. This time I'm affraid, Rudy Ray Moore fumbles. The Human Tornando succumbs to the sequel disease of being worse than the first one. It's not horrible it's a very good movie, but it tries to be to formulatic , it wants to be as good as the first one and use sub-plots resembly the first one.
The plot line, Dolemite leaves California behind and is somewhere in the south when he is caught with the sherrif's wife and jumps off a hill naked. The sherrif is pursuing him across the nation as dolemite puts his nightclub act on the go. He makes it back to Cali. and finds Queen Bee in some hot water with nightclub competiors, and Dolemite comes to the rescue. The movie's not horrible, but not as good as the 1st. It sometimes is choppy, hard to follow, and complete nonsense ( even more than in the original) Dolemite saves the day of course but a weird ending leaves you wanting a bit more well enough to leave on a high point. Remember the first had witty comebacks, and two rap songs performed you'll be lucky to catch him even run into rhyme this time. All in all this was good, close but no cigar.
