Making Singles, Drinking Doubles

Amazon.com
Making Singles Drinking Doubles does quite a few things well. As Bloodshot Records' 100th release, it serves to celebrate the indie label's survival to the century mark. As an aural overview of Bloodshot's brief but busy history, it may be the world's first danceable biography. And as a compilation of 18 rare and unreleased tracks--most of them culled from Bloodshot's catalog of long-out-of-print seven-inch singles--it's a blow to liberate a batch of cool tunes from the sole province of pencil-necked collectors and online auction hawks. Finally, like any Bloodshot comp worth its weight in rhinestones, Making Singles Drinking Doubles offers a Chicago-scene survey (the Waco Brothers, Kelly Hogan, Neko Case) as well as a few arch covers (Moonshine Willy, the Meat Purveyors, and Rex Hobart do XTC, Madonna, and Poison, respectively). And while Ryan Adams contributes a couple tunes, he may not be the biggest name in the liner notes: that honor goes to one Jack White, heard here howling behind Andre Williams with his pre-White Stripes outfit, 2 Star Tabernacle. --Anders Smith Lindall

Play that funky music, cowboy!.......2003-03-10

Put this cd on and get the party started! There are a few imaginative covers, "The Harder They Come" by the Waco Brothers, "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" by Rex Hobart and the Misery Boys and "The Madonna Trilogy" by The Meat Purveyors-Madonna songs played bluegrass-style! There is also an outstanding duet of "It's Only Make Believe" sung by Kelly Hogan and John Wesley Harding. There are two Ryan Adams' songs, one previously unreleased, "Goodbye Honey," and the other an acoustic version of "To Be Young (is to be sad, is to be high)" and both are outstanding. There are 18 tunes in all, and each one of them is worth a listen. The Bloodshot line-up is described as honky-skronk, country-punk or insurgent country, and these songs all have a country feel to them. They also have a lot of heart and soul, musical skill and a great deal of enthusiasm for the material, and most of all, they just sound like they're having a LOT OF FUN! Highly recommended!

This is drinkin' music people. It may be categorized as alt country but the singles on this album are rooted in old school country music. The kind that was played in smokey old bars. If you enjoy lyrics that you can understand and that tell a story this album is great.
