SIDEWINDERS- Auntie Ramos Pool Hall - 30th Anniversary CD (Arizona rock ) CD
RCA
$15.00
Jangly folk-rock moments instantly familiar to any fan of mid-'80s R.E.M. Yet its traditional feel Ñ part psychedelic pop and part dustbowl blues Ñ suggests influences stretching back at least two decades... Hopkins' expansive "big guitar" references Neil Young and Crazy Horse; his uncomplicated melodies are as immediate and hummable as Tom Petty's. And Slutes' enigmatic lyrical concerns (the drug of love, the mystic powers of the sun and moon, the dark edges of the soul) Ñ delivered in the best romantic baritone since Neil DiamondÑ make for a charismatic combination."
