Album Review
After the demise of their original label, I.R.S., Concrete Blonde released Mexican Moon on Capitol in the fall of 1993. The band, once again, produced themselves with Sean Freehill, and Paul Thompson returned to the fold on drums after sitting out Walking in London due to immigration problems.
The album is a striking marriage of Johnette Napolitano's dark, lyrical imagery and the band's alternative-tinged pop sensibilities making it, perhaps, their most fully realized effort. "Jenny I Read" kicks things off with the tale of a chance encounter of a fallen, reclusive starlet. Guitarist James Mankey shows versatility playing acoustic and Spanish guitar on the dreamy title track and the wah-wah effects of the brooding "Jesus Forgive Me (For the Things I'm About to Say)." "Heal It Up" was the unsuccessful single but is a bracing number with a ferocious vocal performance by Napolitano. Despite the inspired playing, intelligent and insightful lyrics, and the crisp production, Mexican Moon failed to expand the group's audience and would prove to be their last release before breaking up.
Customer Reviews
she has one heck of a voice. 'heal it up' is my favorite :)
So many good songs
This album is spooky at times ("Jenny, I Read" and "Jonestown") and yet at other times quite touching ("Rain" & "I Call It Love"). The thing that stuck out to me is the amount of variety on one album. Napolitano's voice gives me shivers down the spine. Everyone talked about "Bloodletting" but this was the first album I heard by them. Yes, alternative is one way to describe it, but there is too much variety to call it that. I've had it on cassette and CD. If I ever lose the CD, it will be purchased here as it is one of my all time favorite albums. The lyrics will scare you, touch you, and remind you of what a rock band can do!
Concrete Blonde at their best!!!
