Mojo Box

Amazon.com
Chapel Hill's second most famous rock band, Southern Culture on the Skids has finally transcended their kitschy novelty act trappings on their seventh album, The Mojo Box,and created an album worthy of their considerable talents. Without sacrificing any of their overwrought manic energy, or cunning twists on white trash culture, Rick Miller, Mary Huff, and Dave Hartman have created a swampy masterpiece, that is equal parts Grateful Dead, the Cramps, and Credence Clearwater Revival, bathed in barbecue sauce, irony, and some gloriously garagey guitar lines that conjure up images of a young Keith Richards. Produced by Miller at his rural North Carolina home studio, Mojo Box is the sound of a band proud of their Southern roots, but no longer exploiting them as if they were a fourth member in the band. Instead, Southern Culture on the Skids uses a newfound restraint that elevates a country ballad like "Where Is the Moon," to a near classic that even Emmylou Harris would long to sing, and makes the creeping dread of the title track something you wouldn't want to listen to with the lights off. --Jaan Uhelszki

SCOTS still cookin.......2004-08-11

SCOTS are 1 of the few bands I know of that have been together 15 plus years and can still put out an album as powerfull as their 1st. For me this is their best offering since To Much Pork. So many bands change the formula and end up like Metallica. Not SCOTS. They are still kickin it.
Its been to long since have seen this band live. And I always thought they were best as a 3 piece unit. If you are or ever have been a fan of this band, dont let this one pass you buy.

More of the Same -- High Praise for this Band!.......2004-05-11

SCOTS may not be the most innovative or experimental band around, but they are among the most entertaining. "Mojo Box," the band's most recent effort following their five-star "Liquored Up and Lacquered Down" album, serves another big heap of guitar riffs and clever lyrics that is perfect for your next big shin-dig.

A bit raunchier, a touch more rockin' than "LU&LD," "Mojo Box" brings the goods hard and fast. With six tunes clocking in at under 3 minutes and only one over four minutes, "Mojo Box" tosses you from tune to tune, most of which come with SCOTS' usual mix of wit and double entendre. "Doublewide" is probably my current favorite track, but pretty much every tune is enough to get my fingers banging on the steering wheel and my thoughts turning to bootleg liquor and some Carolina BBQ.

A great addition to any southern rock CD collection!

I HEART THIS CD!.......2004-03-25

My dad introduced me to Scots a couple of days after this came out. O, my god! I love it! The songs are kooky and fun. They are amazing. There isn't too much of anything. This is the ultimate feel-good CD. The packaging is adorable, the little stickers are cute. The band hasn't come out with anything for a while, and this is a great comeback. "Doublewide" and "I Want A Love" are my two personal favorites. This is just a colorful band, with some seriously good music.

It doesn't get any more fun than this.......2004-03-15

Where to begin? Crunchy guitars, pulsating bass, sly lyrics ("If you're gonna eat fish, you gotta taste a little bottom") and more hooks than you'll find in a tackle box. "I Want A Love" is my favorite, with its terrific finish, but the bridge in "Mojo Box" is brilliant, and "The Wet Spot" makes Dick Dale sound like he's playing in an anechoic chamber.

SCOTS is difficult to categorize, and difficult to take out of your player.

One of their most accessible albums... fun stuff!.......2004-03-12

A fine, fun album full of bouncy, hook-heavy retro-rock -- surfabilly, Southern soul, and a smattering of tongue-in-cheek country. The lead track, "Smiley Yeah Yeah Yeah," lets you know where their heads are at on this one: it's a melody-heavy party record that doesn't take itself too seriously, and just lets the good times roll. The de-emphasis on white trash stereotypes and renewed attention to musicianship is most welcome, as far as I'm concerned. Recommended!

Amazon.com

With American Pop: An Audio History, saxophonist Allen Lowe has assembled something truly impressive, a mammoth, nine-hour-long box set of early popular music in America, from 1893 to 1946. That's a lot of tunes--everything from Vess Ossman and John Philip Sousa's concert band to Frank Sinatra, Charlie Parker, and Roy Acuff. The evolution and branching out of the music is impressive enough, but so are Lowe's liner notes, which stretch past 100 pages and somehow succeed at tying all these tunes together. Unlike another canon of early recorded music, Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, the tunes here are arranged chronologically; it's a staggering affair filled with pop's earliest moments on record--from the Unique Quartette's 1893 cylinder recording of "Mama's Black Baby Boy" to Lenny Tristano's "What Is This Thing Called Love" from 1946. As Lowe explained in a 1998 interview with Amazon.com, the juxtaposition of genres and styles takes over and the tunes--not necessarily bestsellers but always well-chosen--taken as a whole give a history of music like nothing else. An overwhelming set and a must-have for fans of pop music's roots. --Jason Verlinde
