1995-ELEKTRA
Produced By DANIEL LANOIS
1. Where Will I Be
2. Goodbye
3. All My Tears
4. Wrecking Ball
5. Goin’ Back To Harlan
6. Deeper Well
7. Every Grain Of Sand
8. Sweet Old World
9. May This Be Love
10. Orphan Girl
11. Blackhawk
12. Waltz Across Texas Tonight
Sometimes, it takes a giant leap of faith for an artist to create their masterpiece. This was the case with Emmylou Harris. Two decades into her career, she teamed with rock producer Daniel Lanois on Wrecking Ball, and came out with easily her greatest album. Lanois brought to Harris a dark, atmospheric landscape that suited the unique voice of Emmylou better than her typical acoustic strumming of country tunes had ever done for her. Between that and an amazing set of songs and guest appearances, Wrecking Ball was the perfect recipe for the perfect album.
The songs are by Neil Young, Lucinda Williams, Bob Dylan, Steve Earle, Gillian Welch, Jimi Hendrix, and so on…all perfect choices for Harris’ unique voice. Young plays on and wrote the title track, a strong and perfect song for Harris. Overall, every song here is a keeper, and the album as a whole is beyond what Emmylou had ever done, or has done since. Her body of solo work is pretty good, but if you must have one album, this is definitely the one to have. Easily her best work, and one of the unsung albums of the 90’s.

1993-SUB POP
Produced By JACK ENDINO
1. Joe Louis Punch Out
2. Push To Close
3. Comet
4. She's Supersonic
5. Big Fatty
6. J. Hell
7. Everybody's Best Friend
8. Shiva
9. Day Glo
10. Boog
11. Constipation
12. Cosmic Allison
13. Truly
Hazel's short career went by pretty much unnoticed...which is too bad, because they left behind one pretty terrific album. Despite the fact that they were signed to Sub Pop in 1993, they had nothing to do with grunge. Instead, this was a fast, exciting band that owed more to X than anyone else. Singer/guitarist Pete Krebs went on to record some great solo stuff and to work with Elliott Smith, but here he is just a plain desperate rocker. The vocal interplay between Krebs and drummer Jody Bleyle is very much like John Doe and Exene, and the songs are terrific: odes to boxer Joe Louis and baseball player Boog Powell, alongside the great power pop of "She's Supersonic" and "Cosmic Allison". Great stuff.
But, alas, the world missed out on Hazel, and they split in 1997. Too bad: one of the world's most interesting bands. They even had a 4th member, Fred Nemo, who was officially in the band, but he only danced at live shows. If you can find this, pick it up. A lost gem of a record. for sure.

1998 – HUT
Produced By GOMEZ
1. Get Miles
2. Whippin’ Piccadilly
3. Make No Sound
4. 78 Stone Wobble
5. Tijuana Lady
6. Here Comes The Breeze
7. Love Is Better Than A Warm Trombone
8. Get Myself Arrested
9. Free To Run
10. Bubble Gum Years
11. Rie’s Wagon
12. The Comeback
The problem with Gomez, the British band with the Spanish name, has always been identity. They have been labeled by critics since their inception as a blues band, even though they are about as much about the blues as Beyonce is about metal. They’ve never quite hit it big on either side of the Atlantic, despite being heaped with acclaim on both sides. And they are blessed with three lead singers, although one of them (Ben Ottewell) sounds so different from the other two that he almost sounds out of place. Despite these obstacles, Gomez has soldiered on, showing that they do indeed have the stuff it takes, and that they have the ability to pull some great songs out of their collective hats. Bring It On is their debut album, and despite winning the 1998 Mercury Music Prize for best new album over a collection of much bigger discs, it remains something of an unknown entity.
The strength of Bring It On is in a trio of excellent songs. “78 Stone Wobble”, “Whippin’ Piccadilly”, and “Get Myself Arrested” are as good as anything that was a hit in 1998. Also exceptional is the 9 minute workout of the underrated “Rie’s Wagon”. This quartet of songs exhibit loads of promise for Gomez, proving that they can not only write good, catchy material, but that they also have the chops to stretch out and play extended tracks. After these four, however, things settle quickly into below average. The band plays well, sings well, but just didn’t have this much great material at their disposal. Not even a song title like “Love Is Better Than A Warm Trombone” can lift it above being nothing more than filler. In all, the album has great highs and puzzling lows, a decent but unspectacular debut from a band looking for an identity. Still, Gomez is highly interesting and adventurous, so any of their albums are pretty worthwhile. [First added to this chart: 11/16/2023]

1996-REPRISE
Produced By JEFFREY WOOD & PENELOPE HOUSTON
1. Secret Sign
2. Sweetheart
3. Scratch
4. Locket
5. Fuzzy Throne
6. Ride
7. Harry Dean
8. Waiting Room
9. Qualities Of Mercy
10. Fall Back
11. Pull
12. Glad I'm A Girl
13. White Out
14. Cut You
So, who is this Penelope Houston, and why should you be interested? Well, back in 1977, while the Sex Pistols were changing the world from England, there was a punk band on the west coast (San Francisco, specifically) that was making a lot of noise and a lot of changes. The Avengers were west coast punk's first bright lights, but they ran out of money and had broken up before hardly anyone knew who they were. There is a single compilation album that contains everything The Avengers recorded, but it can be hard to find. And the lead singer of this band? Penelope Houston, who was not only smart as hell, but also pretty damn hot to boot.
After The Avengers, Houston disappeared. She resurfaced again in the late 80's, making solo albums that nobody noticed in the US...so much so that almost all of her work was released exclusively in Germany. And then, in 1996, she signed a deal with Reprise. Her debut (and only) major label album was Cut You, and it was actually done in a pretty novel way. Because Americans had not heard her work, she simply took the best of her solo albums and re-recorded the songs for Cut You. The result is a very cool, very hip album from a very smart and very listenable artist. The music is more folk with tinges of bossa nova than it is punk, but her sensibilities shine through. "Sweetheart", "Harry Dean", and "Qualities Of Mercy" are the highlights, but this is all a pleasant surprise...one that, unfortunately, America never really got to hear.
If you can find Cut You, buy it. You'll probably have to dig much deeper to find her other work, and this is a great introduction to her. [First added to this chart: 03/20/2013]

1997-WINDHAM HILL
Produced By JEFF BALDING, ANI DIFRANCO & JANIS IAN
1. Black & White
2. On The Dark Side Of Town
3. Might As Well Be Monday
4. Getting Over You
5. Searching For America
6. Hunger
7. Welcome To Acousticville
8. Honor Them All
9. Empty
10. House Without A Heart
11. Shadow
12. Getting Over You (with strings)
Before there was American Idol, Star Search, Jewel, Hanson, Debbie Gibson or Tiffany, there was Janis Ian. At 13, she came from nowhere with the controversial hit "Society's Child" about interracial love that caused quite a stir in 1967. She grew up, had a small handful of hits, disappeared for 12 years, and came back making very good music. Hunger is not her strongest album, but it's still great to hear that strong voice, and her songwriting remains excellent. The centerpiece here is the live "Welcome To Acousticville", which in almost 8 minutes shows it all...her voice, her writing, her ability to work an audience, and her guitar playing. The rest of the album is good as well, but not as fine as Breaking The Silence or Revenge. Ian ia always an artist who deserves to be heard, though, so you can't go wrong with this.
Ian continues to record, and is also a published science fiction author as well as a columnist. [First added to this chart: 10/10/2022]
