专辑介绍

by John D. Luerssen

Despite Johnny Dowd's fixation with death, the 56-year old guitarist has inexplicable appeal on his fifth album, Cemetary Shoes. Beneath all of the bloodstained clothes is a man with superb axe prowess and a Nick Cave-meets-Tom Waits-meets-Tom Verlaine-vocal approach. &Brother Jim& is an offbeat, twangy rock/blues concoction that's as delightfully fun as it is peculiar, &Garden of Delight& is a blistering stomper and &Whisper in a Nag's Ear& is an eerie jazz-tinged offering. If the latter's chorus, &You're carrying a coffin!,& makes it a must for all future Halloween parties, the creepy, Cramps-ian white trash barnburner &Rest in Peace& is equally worthy. At times, Dowd's obsession starts to grate -- specifically on &Dear John Letter& where frenzied percussion uncomfortably meshes with his nightmare-inducing spoken word -- but often enough there is magic in the midst of his morbidity.
