Holy shitballs.
Listen to me folks, GET THIS ALBUM! I know it’s my job as some high fallutin’ music writer to come up with a bunch of stuff to say about music. But after listening to Painkillers, if I were you, I’d skip all the gabbing and just go get it. And then find the biggest, loudest audio player you can procure and crank it to 10. If you want to flatter me, come back and read the rest at some other point.
The merging of Black Diamond Heavies keys player James Leg with the dirty punk blues duo Left Lane Cruiser known as Painkillers is not a cover album. No, it’s a concept album. Yes, it is made of all covers, songs like “Come to Poppa” made popular by Bob Seger, “When The Levee Breaks” by Led Zepplin, but this is a concept album in the truest sense. Concept is what so many albums are lacking these days, and how this album takes a rag tag of recognizable songs from the rock and blues worlds and makes them into a remarkable collection that marks the most viscerally-satisfying album I have heard so far this year. Wanton, ribald, reckless, and uninhibited, Painkillers will have you slam dancing and pissing off the neighbors.
Painkillers isn’t just a catchy idea to sketch some cover art around, it is the idea this album is built from, to take a bunch of timeless, kick ass songs, give them the dirty, heavy-handed Left Lane Cruiser/James leg punk blues treatment, with the result being an album that is perfectly concocted to kill pain. That’s what’s so genius about it. If they had released a batch of original songs under this concept, the painkilling would just be a placebo. By taking songs we all know and love already, songs that mean something to us, the medicine is potent, fast-acting, striking right at your gut.
How’s the instrumentation on the album? The approach? Dirty. Real dirty. Nasty, filthy. All the songs are awash in a mess of gritty reverb and distortion. Don’t come here looking for any lightning-fast chicken-picking licks to tinkling of keys, this is about immersing you in a wall of sound. And though the nasty, dirty punk blues approach may not be for everyone, the song selections are. Pure genius went into picking these songs. For me personally, I didn’t care for some of the blues standards, but “Chevrolet” made famous by Taj Mahal, and The Rolling Stones’ “Sway” are two of my favorite songs of all time, and to hear the James Leg/Left Lane Cruiser tandem do their worst with them was a gift tantamount to a pull of nectar from a goddesses nipple.
One word of caution: Yes, Painkillers is habit forming. (Come on, did you think I was going to make it all the way through this review without some drug cliches?) And just like many albums that pull you right in on the first play, Painkillers can lose its potency rather quickly. But after you set it down for a few days, you will find it calling you back once again.
No joke, if you’re depressed, lonely, angry, sad, whatever, as prescribed, Painkillers will get you to feeling right.
Two guns up!

It’s hardly coincidence that Man in Motion, the latest project from Warren Haynes, is also a spot-on way to describe the album’s creator. After touring and recording extensively with The Allman
Brothers, Gov’t Mule, and The Dead, is it surprising that Warren found time to cut a solo album? Surprising – no, not to those that follow Warren. Anticipated and appreciated? Yes, you’d better
believe it.
In his first solo studio recording in 18 years, it is a wonderful treat to listen to Warren pour it out in this soulful, personal piece of work. Warren’s guitar is present as always, but the
power of Man in Motion lies in the passionate, penetrating vocals that provide a glimpse into the soul of the singer himself. Add to that the arsenal of keys, sax, and backing vocals from
world-class talent, and out comes Man in Motion, a soul-driven blend of the modernity and roots that make Warren shine.
Man in Motion kicks off with the title track and single, “Man in Motion.” From there, Warren displays his adventurous, diverse style in cuts like “River’s Gonna Rise” and “Sick of My Shadow,”
songs with a ton of groove and force. His inspiring vocals drive songs like “Everyday Will Be Like A Holiday” (originally by William Bell), “Your Wildest Dreams,” and “Save Me.” This ten-song
album, from start to finish, is charged with inspiration. It is a piece of work that should be appreciated and enjoyed plentifully.
Tracklist :
01. Man In Motion 07:52
02. River's Gonn Rise 06:51
03. Everyday Will Be Like A Holiday 05:29

05. Your Wildest Dreams 07:18
06. On A Real Lonely Night 07:38
07. Hattiesburg Hustle 06:33
08. A Friend To You 05:44
09. Take A Bullet 05:24
10. Save Me 06:16

As the plaintive acoustic closing track of debut album Everything’s For Sale suggested, there’s more to Welsh power duo Henry’s Funeral Shoe than early ‘70s-inspired pedal-to-the-metal punk-blues
rawk ‘n’ roll. With the follow-up Donkey Jacket, the Clifford brothers, Aled (vocals/guitars) and Brennig (drums/percussion), skillfully demonstrate this by crossing the borderline between
electric-blues-powered rock-a-boogie and acoustic country-blues more than once during the varied course of the album’s 10 songs. While listening, you even get the sense that, as with LPs of
yore, time was actually spent on putting together the track list. “Bottom to the Top”, with the help of John “Ned” Edwards on slide guitar and mandolin, travels a similar country-blues trail to
Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs, while other highlights include the brooding, electric southern gothic of “The Walking Crawl”, and the beautiful love song “Heart on Fire”. Like all great
second albums, this builds upon the first and makes you long to hear the third.

Parmi tout les superlatif qui me traversaient l’esprit après l’écoute du premier opus de Grinderman, le projet « secondaire » de Nick Cave et de trois membres de ses Bad Seeds (Warren Ellis, Jim
Sclavunos et Martin Casey), venait se glisser une crainte : « pourvu que ça ne soit pas le groupe d’un seul album »!
Fort heureusement cette crainte ne s’est pas réalisée et le groupe nous revient avec une nouvelle oeuvre judicieusement titrée Grinderman 2.
Alors qu’en est il? :
– Blues experimental déjanté… check
– Bad trip psychédélique… check
– Country amphetamine… check
– Garage à la Stooges… check
Le groupe demeure en zone d’inconfort et ce disque est tout aussi intense que le précédent Grinderman!! Tout ça est inquiétant à souhait et terriblement sexy! Les attaques de larsen sont parfois
plus brutales même si l’on sent sur quelques piste de cet album qu’il est plus « nuancé », proposant un What I Know sombre et tout en retenue ou l’étonnante Palaces of Montezuma aux couleurs pop
FM des années 70. Vous l’aurez compris j’adore cet album et si vous ne l’avez pas encore écouté, je crois qu’il est temps!

Get ready for the charge of the West brigade
I just got this and am thrilled by this CD. Leslie and really still do it and it has b*alls, power, emotion, fire and just raw, hard nosed blues. My favorite.
Leslie hasn't last it a bit, his selections of songs are great. It is also great for a blues guitarist to play along with.
Simple, rough, in your face great hard edged blues. If you like musicians like Alvin Lee, Johnny Winter, you will love this.
By the way, who is this nerd whose posting should be eleminated about this bozo's fade out obsession. He says the same thing about Winter, knows nothing, and he really pulls down the reviews for
the great artists. If this guy had an IQ of 10, he would know that every single audio software that I know of can make his little songs end up with fadeouts, non-fadeoouts, delays,
non-delays.
I would like Amazon to take this child Daniel Anderson from (Unley Park, SA Australia) and remove all his non-reviews and learn how to fade-out songs any way he likes.

1. Crawlin' Kingsnake
2. Boom Boom
3. Mean Mistreater
