1999-1995

Ohio born and bred Nuggets-meets-Stooges garage band; provided the rhythm section for the Raconteurs. Cincinnati, OH's the Greenhornes earned a devoted following during the garage rock boom of the 2000s, but while the band was clearly influenced by classic blues-based acts of the '60s (the Yardbirds, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks) and first-era garage rock (the Sonics), their instrumental skill and songwriting chops put them well ahead of most of their peers. 
The Greenhornes
So Cold 3:42
Good Times 2:11
Hold Me 3:50
from Gun For You 1999

On this sizzling garage rock debut, Cincinnati, OH's Greenhornes showcase their talents at combining solid early- to mid-'60s Stones/Kinks-style rock with a jovial mod influence and Detroit blues-rock punchiness. Their lineup features former members of the Nevada Death Band, including Craig Fox on guitars and vocals, Brian Olive on guitar and backup vocals, Patrick Keeler on drums, and Jack Lawrence on bass; the pervasive organ right up front in the mix comes courtesy of spectacular keyboardist Jared McKinney...

A neo-beatnik songwriter who grew weirder and wilder in the '80s, earning a cult following that only grew larger as the years passed. In the work of American songwriter Tom Waits, swampy blues, Beat poetry, West Coast jazz, Tin Pan Alley, country, 1930s-era cabaret, and post-Civil War parlor songs meet neon-lit carnival music, and the wheezing, clattering, experimental rhythms (often played by makeshift musical instruments from car radios to metal pipes and tin cans -- hence his love of Edgard Varese and Harry Partch) form a keenly individual musical universe. It has often been imitated but never replicated...
Tom Waits
Hang on St. Christopher  (Tom Waits)  2:44
Temptation  (Tom Waits) 3:48
Clap Hands  (Tom Waits) 3:48
from Beautiful Maladies / The Island Years 1998
Tom Waits' brilliance is messy -- he has so many ideas that sometimes unrealized songs are juxtaposed with moments of greatness on his albums. That may make for the occasional uneven record, but each album has its own distinct tone that makes it a unique listening experience, whether it's a masterpiece or a missed opportunity. And that's the reason why his work, especially his sprawling Island albums, doesn't lend itself to retrospectives like Beautiful Maladies: The Island Years. On the surface, the collection looks promising...

Suzie Higgie was the singer/songwriter for the Australian group the Falling Joys, who put out numerous releases (including three albums) over the course of a decade... Her material is slightly jazzy, breezy singer/songwriter rock, delivered with a cool restraint.
Conway Victor Savage (27 July 1960 – 2 September 2018) was an Australian rock musician. He was a member of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, providing piano, organ and backing vocals from 1990. From 1993, Savage had a solo career and released albums...

Just One Of Those Things 5:11
from Soon Will Be Tomorrow 1998
Vocals, Guitar, Bass – Suzie Higgie
Vocals, Piano, Organ, Keyboards – Conway Savage

Australian multi-instrumentalist and producer known for his longtime collaborations with Nick Cave and his own project, Crime & the City Solution. Multi-instrumentalist Mick Harvey is best known for his deep roots in the tangled family tree of singer Nick Cave. Playing a pivotal role in the Cave-fronted Boys Next Door (1977-1980), Birthday Party (1980-1983), and Bad Seeds (1984 on), Harvey added intricate details and anonymous atmospherics that gave life to the singer's ominous narratives...
Mick Harvey
Pink Elephants (Bertrand Burgalat / Serge Gainsbourg / Mick Harvey) 2:35
Requiem.... (Michel Colombier / Serge Gainsbourg / Mick Harvey) 2:35
Comic Strip (Serge Gainsbourg / Bill Solly) 2:42
Scenic Railway (Serge Gainsbourg / Mick Harvey) 2:52
from Pink Elephants 1997
Pink Elephants continues what Mick Harvey began with Intoxicated Man -- it's the second collection of Serge Gainsbourg covers that the Bad Seeds guitarist has recorded. This time around, he concentrates on lesser-known songs... while the results aren't as immediately beguiling as those on Intoxicated Man, it's still rich, evocative, seedy, and alluring...
