1994-A&M
Produced By KEITH THOMAS & MICHAEL OMARTIAN

1. Lucky One
2. Say You'll Be Mine
3. Whatever It Takes
4. House Of Love
5. The Power
6. Oh How The Years Go By
7. Big Yellow Taxi
8. Helping Hand
9. Love Has A Hold on Me
10. Our Love
11. Children Of The World


The last time I heard House Of Love before today, it didn't seem as...awful. But it really has not aged well at all, and has actually become more of an annoying and empty pop album as the years have gone by. "Lucky One" lets you know right away that you're in for a tough listen...it's all synths and happy go skippy poppiness that's sure to bring on a cavity of two. And the rest is much of the same. Not even the better tracks, "The Power" and a straight on cover of the Joni Mitchell classic "Big Yellow Taxi" (which IS better than the mess Counting Crows made of it years later) can do much of a redemption job.

This is her 9th album, and her second album mixing modern pop with a Christian message...not a straight Christian album. Grant does deserve kudos for stepping (slowly) away from the genre that she owned for years, and she did actually end up making better music than this. (To this day...all of her albums reach at least #2 on the Christian charts.) But wow. This is really not good at all. More of a transitional album at best. It has some nice moments, but that's about it.

2009-NEW WEST
Produced By DAVID BARBE

1. George Jones Talkin’ Cell Phone Blues
2. Rebels
3. Uncle Frank (Alternate Version)
4. TVA
5. Goode’s Field Road (Alternate Version)
6. The Great Car Dealer War
7. Mama Bake A Pie (Daddy Kill A Chicken)
8. When The Well Runs dry
9. Mrs. Claus’ Kimono
10. Play It All Night Long
12. Like A Rolling Stone

The Fine Print turned out to be not just another collection of leftovers: Drive-By Truckers turned out to have some very nice unreleased gems. The Fine Print is also blessed with fine liner notes by Patterson Hood. The album contains two previously unreleased Jason Isbell tracks (“TVA” and “When The Well Runs Dry”), a pair of very good alternate versions, and some tracks left off of albums recorded between 2003 and 2008.

But the best thing here are the covers. The Truckers chose wisely, and they play them well and with respect. “Rebels” is a fine forgotten Tom Petty song: “Mama Bake A Pie (Daddy Kill A Chicken)” is a perfect take on Tom T. Hall, “Like A Rolling stone” is a Southern version of the Dylan track with each member taking a verse, and especially “Play It All Night Long”…a Warren Zevon classic. The Fine Print isn’t like most leftover albums in that it’s actually very good. Very much worth seeking out.

1986 – ELEKTRA
Produced By JEFF GLIXMAN

1. Keep Your Hands To Yourself
2. Railroad Steel
3. Battleship Chains
4. Red Light
5. The Myth Of Love
6. Can’t Stand The Pain
7. Golden Light
8. Over And Over
9. Nights Of Mystery
10. Every Picture Tells A Story

Southern rock hit its peak in the mid 70’s, and the decline was fairly swift. Gone were the classic lineups of The Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd. By the mid 80’s, the genre was down to ghosts of those bands, along with the now far right wing Charlie Daniels Band and the slick pop of .38 Special. And then, in 1986, came the sudden jolt of “Keep Your Hands To Yourself”, which not only gave Southern rock a new gasp of life, it also gave hope to the future and paved the way for bands like The Black Crowes and Drive-By Truckers. Led by singer Dan Baird, this debut album was a surprise hit, and the Satellites were (for a minute anyway) the new Southern hope. Amid all of the New Wave and hair metal bands clogging up the airwaves and dominating MTV, the Satellites were a breath of fresh air. Soon, every bar band in America was playing “Hands To Yourself”, but these guys had more than just that song.

In fact, the first three tracks of this album made it seem like the Satellites were in it for the long haul. “Railroad Steel” is a powerhouse hoot of a song, and the simple yet rocking “Battleship Chains” works very well indeed. A very strong way to open the album. But things begin to slowly slide from there. The middle of the album gets muddy and ordinary before the rise of the fine “Nights Of Mystery”. The saving grace is a surprising cover of Rod Stewart’s classic “Every Picture Tells A Story”, which works very well as a Southern rocker. Expectations were high after this very solid (not perfect) debut, but the next two albums were huge disappointments and took the band completely off the map…and by the time Baird left in 1991, The Black Crowes had taken the mantle from the Satellites. They split up silently, with Baird having some solo success while a reformed Satellites (without him) have released no albums and play in relative obscurity to this day. A promising debut album this was. Too bad they couldn’t follow it up with anything of note.

2001 – VIRGIN
Produced By THOMAS BANGALTER & GUY-MANUEL DE HOMEM-CHRISTO

1. One More Time
2. Aerodynamic
3. Digital Love
4. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
5. Crescendolls
6. Nightvision
7. Superheroes

9. Something About Us

13. Face To Face
14. Too Long

There is a lot I can forgive in the name of making music. Autotune is not one of those things. This terribly named French electronic duo uses a lot of different elements in their music, including overprocessed vocals…I still can’t stomach it when it’s actually used as an effect. So, as much as I want to discard Discovery after the first track, “One More Time”, the second track, “Aerodynamic”, wins me over with some of the coolest sounding guitar ever on a dance album. The autotune keeps popping up all over the album, but there is enough else going on that’s interesting enough not to forgive it, but to finally almost overlook it. And when the vocals aren’t in the way, there’s actually a lot going on that’s worth the time. Pulsing disco beats along with cool keyboards and just enough guitar make Discovery an almost surprise hit for me.

Unfortunately, there are spots where Daft Punk (there’s no punk here at all) takes it a bit too far. “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” is buried in processed vocals, and sounds like Siri gone rogue. Other tracks become repetitious to the point of craziness…and then there are moments like “Short Circuit” that nicely recall 70’s era funk, and it becomes forgivable again. What Discovery ultimately is is a mixed bag of good and evil…of guilty pleasures and music that will drive you up the wall. It’s regarded by some as a great classic, and by others as a mess. So, I guess it depends on where your tastes lie. For me, I wish it were more consistent, less reliant on vocal tricks (“Face To Face” has a straight vocal…and it’s terrific) and stronger on the disco side of things. There’s a terrific album buried in this somewhere…maybe someday I’ll be able to find it.

10. (9) Down 1
United Kingdom EMF
1991 – PARLOPHONE
Produced By PASCAL GABRIEL & RALPH JEZZARD

1. Children
2. Long Summer Days
3. When You’re Mine
4. Travelling Not Running
5. I Believe
6. Unbelievable
7. Girl Of An Age
8. Admit It
9. Lies
10. Longtime
11. EMF

Here’s the EMF formula for instant success. Take a high energy British rock band, throw in some scratching, add a heavy, heavy dose of Andrew Dice Clay samples, and a lead singer who sounds twelve-ish. And there you have one of the strangest and catchiest singles of 1991, EMF’s “Unbelievable”. This song, and Clay’s trademark “OH!”, were everywhere, and it seemed that EMF was destined for a long and fruitful career. Oh, but the gods of the one-hit wonder world work in mysterious ways, and as soon as the song slipped from the charts, EMF faded quickly into history. Actually, four singles from Schubert Dip charted in America, but they are remembered only for the one song. They’ve broken up and regrouped many times, but only made 3 albums, the last in 1995. Such is the strangeness of the 90’s band that utilizes the Clay man to gain a hit record.

“Unbelievable” is a great song, and while nothing else on the album comes close to its catchiness, it’s really not a bad record. What they lack in consistent songwriting, they make up for in pure energy and exuberance. “I Believe”, “Children”, and “Lies” are the better tracks, and “Girl Of An Age” is cool, and even has a spoken intro by Bert and Ernie. “Lies” originally included Mark David Chapman reciting the lyrics to John Lennon’s “Watching The Wheels”, which was quickly removed at Yoko Ono’s request. The album is actually easy to listen to, and keeps the energy going all the way through. Too bad they didn’t have the magic of “Unbelievable” more than once. EMF could have been a fun band to follow through the 90’s, rather than just a curiosity remembered for just one song. But Schubert Dip is really not bad at all. Worth a spin or two.
