1982 – RIVA
Produced By JOHN MELLENCAMP & DON GEHMAN
1. Hurts So Good
2. Jack & Diane
3. Hand To Hold On To
4. Danger List
5. Can You Take It
6. Thundering Hearts
7. China Girl
8. Close Enough
9. Weakest Moments
10. American Fool
Say what you will about John Mellencamp. Let’s see you handle the career disaster he faced, overcame, and outlasted to become a major star, and one that is taken seriously. People who dismiss him tend to be those who cling to his Johnny Cougar persona, a stupid attempt by bad management to create a teen idol. American Fool is his fifth album, and the last one he recorded as John Cougar (The Kid Inside, released afterward, was an attempt at cashing in on his success…it had been recorded years before). It’s also his commercial breakthrough, containing two monster hits in “Jack And Diane” and “Hurts So Good”. It took Mellencamp all that time from his awful debut album in 1976 until American Fool in 1982 to be finally taken seriously. That he had the talent to overcome says it all. Sure, there had been glimpses…”I Need A Lover” from a few years back had been impressive…but it’s American Fool that allows him to start putting the Cougar to rest and to be who is really is.
Sure. American Fool is top heavy. But what a coming out party it is. “Hurts So Good” and “Jack And Diane” put Mellencamp on the map for good, and catapulted the album to number one…John Mellencamp was able to now write his own ticket. But there’s more than just those two tracks. “Hand To Hold On To” was also a hit, and stands with any of his best early material. “Thundering Hearts” is also a fine track. The rest begins to border on filler, but it’s much better filler than we had ever heard from Mellencamp. After this album, he was finally able to add his last name to his work (the much better Uh-Huh), and by his 1991 release, Whenever We Wanted, he was able to completely jettison the Cougar tag altogether and forever. This is album that began that process, a musical healing for him, and the shedding of a dreaded persona that he neither wanted nor deserved. Plus, you’ve got to have those two hits…a big part of what made 1982 so much damn fun.

1971-ELEKTRA
Produced By THE DOORS & BRUCE BOTNIK
1. The Changeling
2. Love Her Madly
3. Been Down So Long
4. Cars Hiss By My Window
5. L.A. Woman
6. L’America
7. Hyacinth House
8. Crawling King Snake
9. The Wasp (Texas Radio And The Big Beat)
10. Riders On The Storm
Due mainly to the inability of Jim Morrison to function onstage, The Doors were in some trouble as 1970 turned into 1971. In December 1970, at a show in New Orleans, Morrison’s behavior was so strange that the rest of the band decided that they would retire from live performances. They also had a falling out with longtime producer Paul A Rothschild over the songs that would make up L.A. Woman. Despite these issues, the band went to the studio and was able to put down their sixth album in the space of about a month. The result was a natural progression from their previous album, Morrison Hotel, and was a move more towards the blues than the band had ever been. Except for a few overdubs, the album was recorded live in the studio, which gives it a raw and more bluesy feel. For the album, the band brought in a rhythm guitarist (Marc Benno) and Elvis Presley’s bass player, Jerry Scheff. Morrison’s voice, weakened by excessive alcohol and drug use, fits the style of the album perfectly. It sounded like the band was on track.
The best known songs are the title track (“Mr. Mojo Rising”) and the spooky “Riders On The Storm”, both over seven minutes long. Maybe the best track is the powerful “Been Down So Long”, as close to blues perfection as they ever got, with Morrison opening with a gleeful snarl: “Well I’ve been down so God damned long”. A few inconsistencies (like the out of place hit “Love Her Madly”) keep this from being a masterpiece, but it’s still a solid end to Morrison’s career and what should have been the end of The Doors, who unfortunately made two more albums without Morrison before calling it quits. When the album was done, and with no tour to go out on, Morrison retired to Paris where he died three months after L.A. Woman was released. As a result, this album is a bit more beloved than it should be, but it’s still a very strong effort.

2005-YEP ROC
Produced By DAVE WAY & JOHN DOE
1. The Losing Kind
2. Heartless
3. Mama Don’t
4. Twin Brother
5. Hwy. 5
6. Worried Brow
7. Your Parade
8. There’s A Black Horse
9. Ready
10. She’s Not
11. Repeat Performance
John Doe was a founding member, lead singer and bass player for the great LA punk band X. Between 1990 and 1987, that band was responsible for one of the greatest six album runs in rock history. During that period, Doe proved to be a prolific and powerful songwriter, and his vocals interwoven with those of his once wife Exene Cervenka made the X sound very unique. He hasn’t really slowed down much, either. Doe has released several solo albums (ten to be exact), as well as many collaborations with artists like Dave Alvin and Jill Sobule. He has also been a member of The Knitters, and has been active as an actor. His solo work has gone mostly unnoticed, but it has also been consistently very good. 2005’s Forever Hasn’t Happened Yet is Doe’s fifth solo album, coming and going ithout making so much as a blip on any kind of chart. Understandable…Doe has never really made music for the masses. But if you’re lucky enough to be a fan, there are always plenty of rewards.
On Forever Hasn’t Happened Yet, the sound is very rootsy (people tend to forget that in the early days, X used to share billing with the likes of Dwight Yoakam). And Doe understands what works for himself vocally. The album contains several vocal duets, which was a staple of the X sound. He’s joined here by the likes of Grant Lee Phillips, Neko Case, Kristin Hersh, and Cindy Lee Berryhill. Dave Alvin contributes guitar, and his X bandmate DJ Bonebrake is also present, so the music is all in good hands. The biggest issue with this album is brevity. The songs are uniformly short (only three top three minutes), and the album as a whole barely tops thirty minutes. And with songs like “The Losing Kind”, “Hwy. 5” and “Ready”, you really want there to be more. It’s a shame that Doe’s solo work isn’t better known, but for those who have discovered it, there are plenty of rewards available in his catalog.

Back in 1995, if you believed that you'd found a great new band in Pulp, you couldn't have been more wrong. Pulp was started by Jarvis Cocker back in 1978, and it took them 17 years to finally break through. Different Class was their 5th album, and it had taken two terrible albums in the 80's and 2 slight improvements in the 90's to get to this point. The fact that Different Class finally put it all together for Pulp was the biggest surprise. The album had 2 big UK hits in "Disco 2000" and "Common People", and finally broke the band in the US. The rest is very smart and catchy (and very British) alternative rock.
Pulp went on to release only two more albums before going on hiatus from 2003 to 2011. They regrouped and toured in 2011 and 2012, but appear to be finished now. Different Class remains their triumph. If you're a fan, you may want some of their other work, but this should be really the only Pulp album you'll need. "Common People" became a strange hit years later for William Shatner.

1989-VIRGIN
Produced By DENNIS HERRING
1. Opening Theme
2. Jack Ruby
3. Sweethearts
4. When I Win The Lottery
5. (I Was Born In A) Laundromat
6. Borderline
7. The Light From A Cake
8. June

11. Flowers
12. The Humid Press Of Days
13. Pictures Of Matchstick Men
14. Come On Darkness
Key Lime Pie was Camper Van Beethoven’s final album before breaking up in 1990. It’s also their most successful, and the one with the least amount of world music influence. Maybe because the band, always known for their sense of humor, finally sound like they aren’t taking themselves too seriously. The centerpiece is the great cover of Status Quo’s “Pictures Of Matchstick Men”, with the signature guitar line played on violin. “When I Win The Lottery”, “Sweethearts”, and “Jack Ruby” are also excellent high points.
The band broke up after Key Lime Pie, with singer David Lowery forming Cracker. They have since reunited, with 2 albums out since 1999 and a third on the way in 2012. Key Lime Pie is one of the bands finer moments, and is always worth a listen. If for no other reason…”Pictures Of Matchstick Men” is a certifiable hoot.
