Free Music Notes for Van GoFree Music Review: Music, Five Stars; Production, Four
This followup to 'Tales of the New West' and the EP 'Glad n Greasy' gets a lot of discussion among fans of the band. It is different than the debut in that there is less of a roots feel, there are fewer songs by the late genius singer/songwriter/guitarist Buddy Blue, and the production on some cuts is considered murky. While this may be true, the material is still strong throughout. I have compared this disc to the Stones 'Exile on Main St', which had a muddy sound mix, but classic material and is now considered perhaps their best disc. This album lacks a standout group of rockabilly cuts, but there is a great one, 'Gun Sale at the Church', which I consider one of Blue's finest songs. The rock n roll edge is honed with 'Riverside', 'Seven Year Blues', and 'Buy Me a Car', all featuring standout guitar by Jerry Raney. The inclusion of a different cover of 'Powderfinger' (previously done on 'Glad n Greasy') doesn't detract from it, and 'Big Ugly Wheels' featuring the late Country Dick Montana's booming baritone and 'Road to Ruin' add up to a batch of tunes that is just a cut below that of the 'expanded' Tales of the New West disc. The bass and drums of some cuts are buried in the mix and the overall production isn't as uncluttered as Tales, but sometimes, you have an album of material and a band that is good enough to rise above such problems. This is, without a doubt, one of those times.
