CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Boarding the same hay wagon to hell that's transported murder balladeers from Grayson & Whitter to Nick Cave, Nazarene preacher's grandson David Eugene Edwards has been channeling his religious upbringing into the "gothabilly" glory that is 16 Horsepower since 1993. This live collection--culled from three 1998 performances--cherry picks from the Denver band's first two albums for such fire-and-brimstone favorites as "Black Soul Choir," "For Heaven's Sake," and "Brimstone Rock." Edwards's haunted tenor may sound more polished in the studio, but the intensity of his live performance--coupled with suitably swampy covers of Creedence, Gun Club, and Joy Division songs--makes this a must for established fans and any newcomers who need convincing that concertinas and banjos can be just as creepy as their electrified cousins. --Bill Forman Similar CDs

CD ReviewsFor the Dirty Whiskey Folk Greg | Indiana, USA | 05/08/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Admit it, you love it when you get an album that is so good that everyone you have listen to it gives awkward dirty looks. You know the looks, the ones that say, "What are you making me listen to and why do you own it!?"
Hoarse is an amazing live set. The band displays an eerie energy as if playing from a busted-up warped wood porch in some unsettling fog... and the front yard a 19th century cemetery. This is back-woods folk / country / wrath of heaven & hell whiskey guzzlin' music. You'll be left staring at the technology playing this recording in awe wishing you had an old turntable and 'Hoarse' on primitive, mono vinyl. Modern stereos seem to be this music's antithesis. Let me add too that often it is difficult to make out the lyrics. Don't let that adversely affect you. You will be affected though, whether you like the affect as I did or not is another story. This is not your typical live disc. Hoarse feels like it should be heard and played this way. An experience to say the least." |
