http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1991&rws=%2Fscud-mountain-boys%2Ftop-tracks.rssEvery singer should be jealous of Joe Pernice's voice. Whether he's singing over the medicated Americana soundscapes of the Scud Mountain Boys or on the more Bacharach-influenced Pernice Brothers songs, his whisper-tone inflections bring to mind the bittersweet textured vocals of The Zombies' Colin Blunstone. These are some of the best recordings ever made in the genre of alt country -- so good the genre specification almost seems inappropriate. Although the band prefer to DIY record in someone's kitchen, the warm production here almost seems like it was doctored in a laboratory. Scud Mountain Boys' songs are down-tempo, downcast laments of heartbreak and lovelorn loss. Make no mistake, this music is not so much No Depression as it is <i>Know</i> Depression. For those who appreciate artists who bleed into their songs, here's a wonderful little hemorrhage of pastoral music for you. - Eric SheaAlt Countryen720Thu, 3 Dec 2009 13:44:05 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1991&rws=%2Fscud-mountain-boys%2Ftop-tracks.rss Every singer should be jealous of Joe Pernice's voice.
