iTunes Review
With the Blasters, X and his own solo career, Dave Alvin has steadily featured an enviable guitar tone, sincere vocals and songs of wit and careful details. Eleven Eleven is another masterful sweep. “Harlan County Line” begins things with a Spaghetti Western noir feel that rolls into the tough shuffle of “Johnny Ace Is Dead,” where Alvin spends a few minutes going over the details of the late, great singer’s death by Russian Roulette. “Black Rose of Texas” is an authoritative ballad where Alvin turns up the pathos as he croaks a list of anecdotes that multiply in poignancy as the song builds to its climax. “No Worries Mija” continues this mode, with a narrative sense worthy of a short story. “Run Conejo Run” is further noir with a simmering Bob Diddley beat and electric guitars that like switchblades cut through the night. “What’s Up With Your Brother?” is a dirty blues shared with Alvin’s brother Phil. “Dirty Nightgown” is a great come-on. Alvin plays a literary man’s blues, but never loses the ability to feel.
Customer Reviews
His best yet!
I just saw Dave and the Guilty People in Northampton, MA last night. I've seen him 3 times now and also 3 times with the Blasters, way back when. The new CD is wonderful, definitely his best. But you gotta see him live!!!!
Dave Alvin does it again!
Simply put, this guy rules. Run, don't walk, to check this out. And if you're not familiar with Dave, check out "King of California." You won't be sorry.
Another Masterpiece
Another great work that also rocks, from America's premier songwriter/vocalist/picker. Dirty Nightgown, Whats Up With Your Brother, Run Conjeo Run and Johhny Ace Is Dead are all masterpieces of rock n roll storytelling. It just doesn't get any better than this
