Only
a handful of heads have encountered this mad beast of an LP, and it's
top 40 at least of all US LP's for me: utterly dark and sleazy lowlife
nirvana! Like seeing God in a burst condom stuck to the tailpipe of a
rusty pimpmobile, finding out Jesus stole your mama, looking for the
meaning of life in a puke pile by a truckstop motel .... kinda scary
how real this dude is! The cover is awesome and the music ranges from
seedy bluesy loser zones into fucker up dive bar epiphanies. I can't
think of any other record more at the end of the road seeking salvation
in the tawdry. Wicked sense of humor. Twilight Zone. One of those smart
literate guys attracted to funky situations. Like so many obscure LP's,
the names of people on it seem too weird to be real .... Alfie Van,
Audie Bridges ... backup vocals by Mary Bliss & the Bixens. Blows
Damon & Fraction out of the water as far as my own need for kicks
goes. "
all i can say is YES and YES and how about some lyrics:
well you talk about your whiskey and you talk about your wine so i'm here to tell ya people that that kind of thing is fine you go chasin' after women but you sure ain't got one yet that knows somethin' about somethin' and that's one thing i can bet when it comes to really livin' or just somewhere in between there's a high steppin' side steppin' life outside you ain't never seen
she's the lady they refer to when they cut the ace of spades she's the lady that they think of when the night pulls down its shades she's the lady with the action if you think you've got the nerve to put your money where your mouth is and find out what she can serve she's a lady with the answers that can teach you about the world she's a truck drivin' piledrivin' mean mothertrucker of a girl
pile driver don't you worry she treats every man the same pile driver don't you worry that's the way she plays the game pile driver don't you worry cause when everything goes wrong just call her name call her name call her name and she'll come lookin'

This album is right out on the edge. It sounds like a bunch of competent musicians drafted into flesh out the ideas of the writer; but the ideas really are quite pedestrian as is the flesh added. It reminds me most of someone trying poetic slumming with a soundscape of leftover backing tracks. This LP is not bad or good enough to make it into the "so bad it's good" category. The Stardust Cowboy eclipses this as does that Dane somebody album - though that one is much closer to the manic mundane that is on offer with this.
