Released ten years after Hall & Oates' heyday & seven after Daryl Hall's last solo venture, 3 Hearts in the Happy Ending Machine, Soul Alone finds Hall on unsure ground. It had been only three years since he had seen the upper reaches of the charts, yet it felt like much more time had passed since he had truly reigned over mainstream pop/rock. From the sounds of Soul Alone, he longed for those days, but not as much as longed for his youth in Philadelphia, & with it, the Philly soul & folk- ...

This 2006 import (reissued stateside in 2008) concocts a fiery fusion of proto-punk, garage stomp, & slide-guitar blues. What separates these New Zealanders from most of their raw, garage-revivalist peers is their knack for melody. " Such A Pretty Curse" & " Blood Red" both draw their energy from catchy hooks. But elsewhere, Emperor's New Clothes & " Tiny Dlunder Stolen Thunder" go for straight-ahead gusto. There are even a couple of ragged, jangly ballads to balance out the affair, highlig ...

Dave Alvin has been exploring the outer reaches of American traditional music since the debut of his seminal country-punk outfit the Blasters in the early '80s. Very much of a piece with that band's output, DAVE ALVIN & THE GUILTY WOMEN features Alvin's trademark blend of jaunty Bakersfield rhythms & lightning-swift rockabilly licks. A few left turns like the Central Avenue-styled jump blues of " Boss of the Blues" & the ruefully apocalyptic country of " These Times We're Living In" lend the a ...

Dave & Phantom Chords Vanian - Dave Vanian & Phantom Chords

Those expecting New Rose-esque punk from Dave Vanian on his first-ever solo album, 1995's Dave Vanian and the Phantom Chords, will be in for a bit of a stylistic surprise. Picture Dracula or Glenn Danzig fronting a rockabilly/rock & roll band, and you wouldn't be far off from the sounds that abound, especially on such selections as "Screamin' Kid, Swamp Thing, and This House Is Haunted." Elsewhere, however, Fever in My Blood sounds like an early tune by the Cult, while "Whiskey and Me" app
