CD Reviews
Mick's Best Ever
Jeffrey Novak | Henderson, TN USA | 02/17/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Blacktop's complete recordings CD, I Got A Baaad Feelin' About This, is my all time favorite Mick Collins musical venture. It's so angry and noisy compared to anything else Mr. Collins has done before or since. Janet Walker's drums are simple yet they never come off sloppy. Alex Cuervo's Bass lines tie in with Janet's drums so well, you almost miss them. And Darin Lin Wood's distored guitar riffs blend perfectly with Mick's sheet metal noise fest. This Cd is just great, there's not a bad tune on the entire disc. Highlights include: the rockin' "Blazing Street" the outstanding cover of Captain Beefheart's "Here I Am I Always Am" and Darin Lin Woods' take on the traditional "The Grave" I'd pick BLACKTOP over the GORIES or FIREWORKS anyday, but not '68 Comeback, I'm too big of a Jeff Evans fan. But if this kind of music is up your alley BLACKTOP will do fine. "BABY, PLEASE DON"T TAKE MY LOVE IN VAIN!"While your out shopping pick up some: Pussy Galore, Gories, Cheater Slicks, Gibson Bros, Bassholes, 68 Comeback, Doo Rag, Oblivians, Compulsive Gamblers, Bob Log III, Immortal Lee County Killers, Wednesdays, Quadrajets, Bantam Rooster, Drags, Demolition Doll Rods, Husbands, King Louie One-Man Band, Supercharger, Cool Jerks, Tearjerkers, and Royal Trux!"
From The Gories To The Dirtbombs, It's Blacktop All The Way

"For fans of the bottomless genius well that is Mick Collins and who are familiar with his more well-known work (that's an oxymoron), this is the undisputable summary presented by yours truly -
Blacktop is:
a little more agressive than The Dirtbombs
a little less boogie than The Gories
and a good idea of what The Screws would eventually sound like.
The sound clips say it all - I just had to put it into words. Now, if you will excuse me, it's time to search for some King Sound Quartet. Rock off.
"
I've got a great feelin' about this. Get it?

"The holy grail of garage. Mick Collins should be President of the United States. If you don't own this record, you have serious issues. Are you having troubles in yer personal life? Best Record of the 90's. Do yourself a flavor"
Driving down the highway

"In the past 6 months, I became aware of the Dirtbombs. I started with We Have You Surrounded on the basis of one review. I have since bought everything Dirtbombs--each recording builds on the next and all are part of my frequent listening routine. Now I am buying everything else Mick Collins has been associated with.
My first impression of this recording is situational.... I want to be driving way too fast down a blacktop highway in an old hopped up Chevy Impala windows down and with this music blasting. Blacktop gyrates back (and forth) to times that would seem to fall in between the late 50's rock n roll, 60's guitar bluesy jams club music and 80's punk--with no clear connection to any, but ties to all.
It is just strong mov'n rock with noisy guitars (as if) recorded in a roadhouse, great back beats, and the guy on stage tempting you toss beer at him because you LOVE THE MUSIC. A time warp in today's music style--there aint nothing pretty or production smooth about this record. That is not to say that it is poorly produced--it is exactly as they probably intended... grating, grooving, and moving. Now to try some Gories! And Screws!"
