The Warlocks - Heavy Deavy Skull Lover (Tee Pee Records) - Keith Boyd - 12.09.07
Opiate Blues. The cinema of Blues. Grimy and waterlogged Blues. Space Blues. Blues you'd hide from your parents. The Blues song that Lou Reed forgot to sing. Blues like a slow motion train wreck taking place overhead. Crime scene cleanup Blues. Blues for the ancient stripper to gyrate to. Ebola Blues twitching its knobby tendrils across the land. Leaky pipe Blues. The overdrawn bank account Blues. Blues for your stubbed toe. Blues for your bent spine. Blues for your infection. Blues for the half empty. A deeper shade of Blues. Lynching night Blues. Blues for your dry heaves. Blues until the medicine kicks in. Empty storefront Blues. Traffic Blues. On hold Blues. Whispered Blues. Tantric Blues. Blues beamed in from the ashram. Last call Blues. Farm raised Blues. Slaughter House Blues. The whole damn history of the Blues. The rip-off of the Blues. Blues from the leper colony. Blues from your hope chest. Supermarket Blues. A symphonic recreation of the Blues. The Blues sung by mental patients. The Blues of kidney disease and liver failure. Fingerprinted Blues. Katrina Blues. Iraq Blues. Moaned Blues. Jetlag Blues. The Blues you'll hear as a tooth is punched out. The Blues they'll play to signal the end. Cold amphetamine Blues. Blood clot Blues. Expansion Blues. Contraction Blues. Blues lording over the tidal flats with his swollen belly and shit stained terry cloth robe. A wax museum figure of the Blues. Entrapment Blues. Paranoid Blues. Faultline Blues. A heavenly wasteyard of snow globes, trinkets, awards, gewgaws and statuary all modeled on the best and worst the Blues has to offer. This record strip-mines the adrenaline glands of all of the Blues and melts it down into pure gold. Are you a thoughtful head? If so, go get this and let it play for a few hours. You'll see angels in the architecture, spinning in infinity.
