Clutch- From Beale Street to Oblivion

[ericlee]

This is their most recent c.d. and it's not due out till next month (March).

It's more blues based. Slide guitar, harmonica and it's got some ass shakin inspiration.

Unlike Robot Hive/ Exodus which took a while to grow on me, this c.d. just jumped right in and made it's way. As a matter of fact, this is one of their best c.d.s yet and way better than Robot Hive.

The track list as follows...

1: You can't stop the progress
2: Power Player
3: The Devil & Me
4: White's Ferry
5: Electric Worry
6: One Eyed Dollar
7: Child of the City
8: Rapture of Riddely Walker
9: When Vegans Attack
10: Opossum Minister
11: Black Umbrella
12: Mr. Shiny Cadillackness

You can listen to track 5, Electric worry here. (http://www.lambgoat.com/audio/clutch/) It's a good song and it's probably the strongest blues influenced songs on the album.

I wish I can find a link to "Child of the City" which is my favorite song on the album.

LOL, my Clutch threads never make too much progress. I wish I could find a better demo song cause Electric Worry sounds a little like ZZ top's LaGrange.

This is a band that will save Rock N' Roll!

Yep and it's now known that they can successfully pull off a blues album. Well, there's only a couple songs that are kind of bluesy though.

Surely Child of the City and Mr. Shiny Cadillackness are my favs. I'm kind of pissed that they put One Eyed Dollar on there. It's already on their c.d. Jam Room and I didn't like it then. It's not even one of their better songs so I'm not sure why they put it there at all.

This c.d. is great though and they're keeping up on things. I can't wait to see what they've got in store for the next one already.
