RANK AND FILE - The Slash Years 1982-1984 @320

http://www78.zippyshare.com/v/33169333/file.html

The first wave of cowpunk launched by Jason & the Scorchers had begun to fade out and the alt-country scene which would follow the release of Uncle Tupelo's first album was eight years away when Rank and File offered their own distinct mixture of punk rock and classic country with their superb debut album, Sundown. Led by Tony Kinman and Chip Kinman, brothers who previously fronted the leftist punk band the Dils, and featuring Alejandro Escovedo (ex-Nuns and pre-True Believers) on guitar, Rank and File had more than enough rock credibility to satisfy anyone, but on this album, their punk side makes its presence clear mostly in their lean, stripped-down arrangements and their lyrical stance, which embraces working-class rage, bohemian fashion victims, and the plight of illegal aliens along with the more traditional country concerns of love and heartache. There isn't a note wasted in Chip and Alejandro's flinty but resonant guitar work, and Tony and Slim Evans are an equally efficient and rock-solid rhythm section (the dramatic dynamics and the use of empty space in the arrangements also suggests these guys had been listening to more than a little dub reggae, especially on "Coyote" and the title cut). But amid the no-frills performances and David Kahne's unobtrusive production lurk songs in the classic country manner, as the spunky tribute to "Amanda Ruth," the Lefty Frizzell homage of the title track, and the revved-up train song "The Conductor Wore Black" have more to do with the classic Bakersfield C&W sound than anything that floated out of Nashville in the post-Urban Cowboy era. If Rank and File were a few years early for the alt-country scene, they certainly anticipated its musical and social values on Sundown -- and made a great little record in the process. (Mark Deming, Allmusic)

Two years separated Rank and File's acclaimed debut album, Sundown, and 1984's follow-up, Long Gone Dead, and the band had gone through some major changes in the interim. Guitarist Alejandro Escovedo left the group to form the True Believers, and drummer Slim Evans had also parted ways with the band, leaving vocalists and songwriters Chip Kinman and Tony Kinman to record Long Gone Dead with a band of veteran session players, including Tom Petty drummer Stan Lynch, former Seatrain fiddler Richard Greene, and multi-instrumentalist Peter Grant, who'd previously picked with Guy Clark and the Incredible String Band. The result was a considerably lusher and more pop-oriented album than Sundown. While the band's maintained its country cred with tunes like "It Don't Matter" and a revved-up cover of Lefty Frizzell's "I'm an Old Old Man" that sounded like the Flying Burrito Brothers at full gallop, most of Long Gone Dead found the band moving away from its Bakersfield-influenced sound, as evidenced in the Motown-styled guitar figures on "Saddest Girl in the World," the Byrds-ian feel of "Sound of the Rain" (a tune that dated back to the Kinmans' days in the Dils), and the polished and hooky arrangement and production of "Tell Her I Love Her." The band also seemed to be a bit less interested in working-class politics than on Sundown, with only "John Brown" matching the rabble-rousing vibe of the debut, though there are flashes of their populist stance scattered through a few other songs. While a more ambitious and musically diverse album than Sundown, Long Gone Dead just doesn't have the same tight focus and sharp impact of the debut, though the consistent strength of the songwriting is impressive and the high points are impressive indeed.

LEE FIELDS - Problems (1982) @ 320

http://www31.zippyshare.com/v/20526022/file.html

After the terrific retro-funk label Desco split into the Soul Fire and Dap-Tone camps, flagship artist Lee Fields recorded for both but issued his next full-length on the former, which preferred a distinctly lower-fidelity grit to its product. That recording approach informs Problems, Fields' second album of unadulterated James Brown worship aimed at the burgeoning deep-funk revival scene, though it isn't as scratchy-sounding as much of Soul Fire's output. Initially, Problems might be a bit of a letdown after the blazing funk firestorm that was Let's Get a Groove On. It's just as raw and organic, to be sure, but lacks a certain immediacy in comparison. The Soul Fire house band is a crackerjack unit, grooving with a trippier vibe than Fields' previous outing -- more guitar effects, electric piano, flute, and African-flavored percussion. While the music is terrific on its own terms, it sometimes seems a little laid-back and slow-paced for Fields' irresistible James Brown Disciple Number One act, and as a result Problems doesn't feel like the super-bad statement of purpose that its predecessor was. Plus, with just over half an hour's running time, it's disappointing that two of the ten tracks are band-only. But given time, Fields' infectious enthusiasm and the quality musicianship behind him are too winning to end up really dissatisfying. And there are plenty of great moments for Fields fans: Fields confessing his dirty past on "You Made a New Man Out of Me"; the humorous, age-old advice on women dispensed on "Rapping With Lee"; the funked-up ballad "Honey Dove"; the percolating mid-tempo grooves of "The Right Thing" and the philosophical title track. Even if Problems winds up a cut below Let's Get a Groove On, it shows that Fields is still a vital and dynamic funk force to be reckoned with. (Allmusic)
