:: Release Notes:
::
:: Since co-founding the Nighthawks in 1972, this
:: singer-guitarist's compass has pointed steadily toward the
:: blues, but like 2006's In a Natural State collaboration with
:: the Cate Brothers, this disc veers into roadhouse rock,
:: country, and even jazz. Although it ends with a suite of
:: three soulful instrumentals, including the Wes
:: Montgomery-influenced title track and Jimi Hendrix's rarely
:: covered psychedelic funker "Who Knows," Thackery's
:: concentrated as much on songwriting here as his bruising
:: guitar tones. He trashes the cult of celebrity in "Hit the
:: Big Time" and "Fifteen Minutes," dripping pure acid over
:: riff-based grooves, and "Blue Tears" is melancholy
:: honky-tonk, sold by Thackery's thin, quavering voice and
:: faux-steel-guitar string-bending. The spoken blues "XXX Wife"
:: plays marital collapse for laughs, but Thackery remains most
:: articulate when he's picking. The shuffle "Hobart's Blues" is
:: a stone Texas 12-bar guitar showcase, and the album's
:: beautiful centerpiece is "Daze in May," a Tex-Mex reverie
:: that glides on Thackery's mix of acoustic tones, with a
:: sunny, mellow electric melody and volume swells that conjure
:: clouds floating through a peaceful desert sky
