The Solomon Grundy album…..bust through a wall like a big fat Van Conner and harrass the nearest cutout bin or eBay auction. You will pay no more than two bux, but it’s worth 6x that. Take what you hate about late-period Screaming Trees (first three albums are worth seeking out, btw) and replace it with what you love about grade-A power pop. Thank god the Screaming Trees weren’t getting along in 1990. You may ask, “What is this Seattle phase, sir?” Tad documentary? Blown away. Might watch it AGAIN tonight once I finish with more important concerns. Torche, Solomon Grundy, and Tad….this week I’ve listened only to bands fronted by big boys.
