11. Tijuana Bible 3:12 -- -- -- Like Whisky Priest before it, Tijuana Bible finds the Nashville-born Welch playing the part of a wickedly mysterious carnival barker, bouncing strains of Americana, rock, and folk music off of each other like a hall of funhouse mirrors. -- -- --
As for the music, well, Welch will swear on a bible - Tijuana, King James, whatever you've got on hand - that he dreamt it all up. And not just a song, à la Keith Richards and "Satisfaction," but a whole damn sound. It came to him as a vision - so loud and clear he could see it like a moving picture in his mind, the notes and colors and shapes coming into sharp relief just as he was drifting off to sleep. The melody was strange and complex, a beautiful cacophony of disparate styles clashing together all at once: Celtic and Appalachian folk music set to driving rock and dexterous jazz rhythms, with big harmonies sung in a "gritty and raw," "archaic" sounding language. "It was profound," he recalls. "It felt like horses running wild. And I'd never heard anything like it." -- -- -- (source: Artist website) -- -- -- UPC 600385229746 -- -- -- -- -- -- The Amazon ASIN for the mp3 version of this CD is B00BJZFTCY -- -- -- Another listing by Zip
