Thee Milkshakes vs. The Prisoners "Live" 1985

A quality live album from start to finish. Just a plain old quality album really, never mind the live bit. With the exception of the first couple of singles, it's probably my favourite slice of The Milkshakes. Energetic, full of vim, vigour, fun and tunes - it really is the sound of band right at the top of their game, a game that everyone wants to join in with. Bruce in particular does himself proud on this...
...Swap "The Prisoners" for "The Milkshakes" in that paragraph, and you have a fair comment on the second side, too. Although you'd have to take out the Bruce Brand bit, obviously. Storming out of the blocks with the very best available version of "Melanie", there is barely a chance to draw breath until the arrival of "American Jingle" (which the eagle-eared amongst you will recognise and the tune that ended up as the little jingly bit between "Whenever I'm Gone" and "Who's Sorry Now" on The Last Fourfathers). Driven, powerful, impassioned, the chaps turn out a fearsomely tuneful garage racket that temporarily renders all other forms of music quite redundant. The onslaught eases slightly through the second part ("A Taste of Pink" is welcome, but I've never really been a fan of 96 Tears in any of its incarnations) before we close with another of Graham's peerless pipe workouts, a wholehearted and thrusting take on "Love Me Lies". Quality.

"Blue Rose Collection" Vol. 10 2003

American guitar rock bands, singer/songwriters and country and southern rockers, for whom the big record companies don't seem to have any room, have been finding shelter with the small but fine Blue Rose label for some time now...
...If you have a soft spot for contemporary US roots music, you can buy this label sampler, which costs as much as a pizza or a pint of beer at various summer festivals, without hesitation. As on Vol.1, there are some top-class acts (Dashboard Saviors, Continental Drifters, Elliot Murphy, Jupiter Coyote, etc.) to discover! [bs]

What trad is really about is songs that deal with a feeling, not a narrative. Short riffs that stick in your brain and get you charged up. The Kanaloas get it.

The Prime Movers "Earth Church" 1991

Earth Church is solid psychedelic rock without any digressions. The Prime Movers go from rocking hard to rocking somewhat lighter but they keep on rocking throughout the entire album and they know how to do this. - Babe_N_Co

"ANNA MACORA" A New Kind Of Mambo Vol. 26

Desi Arnaz Senior (i.e. Lucille Ball's Father-in-law) Mayor of Santiago de Cuba 1925: "The 'conga', the 'rope' and other similar dances full of improper contortions and immoral gestures that do not belong to the culture of the city are not and never have been manifestations of the masquerades and conflict with their tradition…
...I refer to as the 'conga' that strident group of drums,frying pans,and howling, to the sounds of which epileptic, ragged and semi naked crowds run through the streets of our city. Between lubricious contortions and brutal movements, they disrespect society, offend the morals, cause a bad opinion of our customs, lower us in the eyes of foreigners, and, most gravely, contaminate by example the minors of school age who are carried away by the heat of the display, and whom I have seen, painted and sweaty, engaging in frenetic competitions of bodily flexibility in those shameful wanton tournements."
