Free Music Review: Great 2 fer Release
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a two CD release. One is an excellent live disc, the other is his first release "Road to Indio". This is the only way to obtain this long out of print release. I think that it is not as strong as some of his later day work (Mi Vida Loca & Loser's Paradise) but an excellent release non the less (just a notch below those two classics). With the passing of Chris earlier this year there sadly will be no more tours. If you never saw him live pick this up and see what you missed. If you were fortunate enough to see him live then you'll want this as well because you already know what a fantastic live performer he was.
live and then some Poster
This is a two CD package. Disk 1 is Chris Gaffney and the Cold Hard Facts recorded live at The Swallows Inn in San Juan Capistrano, CA, at their honky-tonkin', road house best. Disk 2 is the re-release of their legendary 1986 vinyl only LP, "Road to Indio."Fans of tough-to-peg Texans such as Joe Ely and Doug Sahm ought to give this singer and accordion player a good listen. A fixture on the Southern California country and roots-rock scene for the better part of the '80s and '90s, Gaffney stirs up an appealing blend of Bakersfield honky-tonk, soul, garage rock, and conjunto music. The "then some" part of this two-CD set is actually a straight reissue of his cult-classic 1986 debut, The Road to Indio. Gaffney's accordion bounces vibrantly off Gary Brandin's pedal steel while Gaffney's songwriting boasts a knack for clever country wordplay on honky-tonkers like "Don't Let Love Tear Apart (What Lust Has Brought Together)" and "Alcoholidays." Gaffney would actually release two acclaimed Hightone albums during the 1990s before he got to the "live" part of this two-CD set, recorded in March of 1999. The intervening 13 years made Gaffney's already gruff voice that much gruffer though his lighthearted spirit and tangy musical stew remain undiminished. Here he balances nifty originals with covers of Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and Bill Anderson's defiant "The Lord Knows I'm Drinkin'," a country No. 1 hit for Cal Smith in 1973 and a perfect manifesto for this Tex-Mex twister. --Marc Greilsamer
