商品の紹介

Spin (12/99, p.232) - 7 out of 10 - "...The songs are campy-loose, and the performances sufficiently spirited, most notably 99 Tales' 'Baby Out of Jail'....It's one big 3.2 beer hootenanny...a squinting, post-punk Sunday-morning hangover that lingers - in this case, for 15 years."s

When X's John Doe and Exene Cervenka stepped out as the Knitters to explore their interest in country music, their efforts indirectly spawned the No Depression movement -- essentially, the group's lone album, 1985's Poor Little Critter on the Road, signified punk's return to its musical roots a half-decade before bands like Uncle Tupelo and the Jayhawks made such a move a genre unto itself. Poor Little Knitter on the Road celebrates the original album in style, assembling a dozen contemporary alt-country bands to re-create the record in its original running order; there's even a previously unreleased Knitters leftover, "Why Don't We Try Anymore," tacked on at the end for good measure. Without a vast catalog of songs to draw from, the disc is far more consistent and focused than the standard tribute record, highlighted by pairings like Kelly Hogan and the Rock*A*Teens' scorching collaboration on "Someone Like You" and the Sadies' take on "Walkin' Cane," featuring Freakwater's Catherine Irwin; the Old 97s' "Cryin' But My Tears Are Far Away" even sports vocals from John Doe himself, guaranteeing -- in true country music tradition -- that the circle remains unbroken. ~ Jason Ankeny

Recording information: Electric Audio, Chicago, IL. Photographer: Gary Leonard. Unknown Contributor Role: Dan Massey. The Knitters, a spin-off of the seminal punk band X that included original Blasters guitarist/songwriter Dave Alvin, were some young rock & roll fans' exposure to REAL country music. The style of the Knitters--both in their choice of covers and their originals--looked back to a time when country music was still known as "hillbilly," before it had acquired any sort of mainstream polish, when it was still a rough-hewn music about hard times. Here, a bunch of roots-oriented bands pay tribute to the Knitters and the songs they sang. The approaches range from the smooth yet eerily powerful version of Merle Haggard's "Silver Wings" from Whiskeytown to the soulful take on "Someone Like You" by Kelly Hogan to the rollicking honky-tonkin' "Love Shack" by the wonderfully Brenda Lee-like Anna Fermin. As a bonus, this collection concludes with a track from the re-formed Knitters, with original X guitarist Billy Zoom.
