Album Description The Blacks, Bloodshot Records? resident carnival punks, are back with their second CD "Just Like Home." The spirit of X and Dock Boggs inspire eleven originals, from banjo-laden laments to jangly burlesque songscapes. There's also a sultry cover of a Tom Waits tune that'll charm all the snakes on the premises. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsAn excellent second album 04/06/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Quite honsetly, I have never heard anything like this band. While living in Chicago, I wandered into one of their shows and was completely blown away. I immediately went out and bought their first album, Dolly Horrorshow, which hasn't left my CD player for any extended period of time until now, and that's only so I can play Just Like Home. While Just Like Home has less of a country sound than Dolly Horrorshow does, it still evokes most of the same backwoods creepiness. Think Hank Williams Blues Explosion. Obviously influenced by Island-era Tom Waits (they cover his "Goin' Out West"), the album is permeated by a hollow-washtub-heavy percussiveness that drives most of the songs, which I think is an excellent addition. Standout tracks include "Head on a String", "Fake Out Jesus", "Foggy Minded Breakdown", the list goes on and on. If you are looking for an album that is interesting, muscially and lyrically complex, and that just plain rocks, then check out Just Like Home. And please, please, if you are given the opporotunity, GO SEE THEM LIVE! You will never be the same." Another crucial recording from THE BLACKS J.A.B. | Roanoke, Virginia United States | 10/13/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Blacks second release, "Just Like Home" finds the band exploring much more eclectic territory than their first countrified release, "Dolly Horrorshow". Shades of old tyme gospel, Nino Rota-ish carnival music, and even heavy metal blend in with their trademark punk-hillbilly sound. No kidding folks, this is one twisted ride through a deep dark canyon. Standout tunes are aplenty here, but my fave is "Rest My Bones/Diablo", an excellent mournful lament with one of the most gleefully sinister endings ever committed to wax. Brian Wilson never sounded so evil! All in all, along with Indiana's Blue Moon Boys, The Blacks are absolutely one of the best alt-country acts going, period." Great CD Eric Vondy | Phoenix | 08/12/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Blacks are a stunning band. Think of Tom Waits posessed by the ghost of Hank Williams and you've got the music -- they even do a Tom Waits cover. Danny and Gina Black trade off on vocals and both are capable though I think I like Gina's sexy croon better. The whole CD is great but I'd say the outstanding tracks are Call, Foggy Minded Breakdown, and Rest My Bones/Diablo. Can't wait to see them live."
