Lots of Sound from 3 Pieces
author: Jackie LangleyThis is this groups 3rd CD and you can hear the growth. It's a great listen. My favorate 3 songs are Danny Pearl, Butt Smoking Hags and Attack of the Chicken Wire Fences. Danny Pearl is a heartfelt lament for the reporter killed by terrorists and has a great hook. Butt Smoking Hags has an airport lounge feel to it and smartly plays on the old cigarette ad slogans (for those of us old enough to remember). Attack of the Chicken Wire Fences is an under a minute tight machine gun kind of song that leaves with a what was that? effect. The other songs display a tighness of interplay between guitar, bass and drums. The bass player shoots out a lot of notes similar to John Entwistle but it never feels overdone. Overall a great listen.
