Coming Soon: Scott Shipley and Johnny Cash’s Birthday Bash

Posted on February 16, 2013 by VocalsOnTop

Scott Shipley's Johnny Cash birthday bash at the Cafe Acoustic poster.WHO’S PLAYING?  Scott Shipley (West Plains, MO)

WHAT TO EXPECT?  Johnny Cash stuff… and a lot of it! It’s a celebration of Johnny Cash’s birthday and Mr. Shipley was The Man In Black’s lead guitarist on tour for 9 years. The celebration will be on what would have been Johnny Cash’s 81st birthday. Don’t expect all Cash covers though; Shipley is a revered guitar player (he was in-fact Johnny’s right hand man for years) and he is pretty good himself.

He fronts bands called Snake Oil, The Model Prisoners and M.U.L.E.. He also plays a few different instruments, including a killer mandolin, his mandolin version of “Little Wing” last time he visited The Cafe Acoustic was knock you on your ass impressive. Cafe Acoustic soundman Steve Grimes even called him one of the best guitar players to ever grace the stage at his venue, and he has had some really good ones there. Expect an alcohol fueled celebration; Shipley will raise his glass to the crowd and yell “holler and swaller…” at which point he commands the crowd to shout to the ceiling then down their drink.

WHERE IS IT?  The Cafe Acoustic; 2605 Frederick Ave. St. Joseph, MO 64506

WHEN IS IT?  Tuesday, February 26th, 2013; 9:30pm, 21+ FREE

WHY SHOULD I GO?  It’s FREE of course! It’s the Cafe Acoustic so you know it is free and the sound will be great(be sure and tell Steve Grimes how it sounds). It’s on a Tuesday, this is great because the music scene usually takes Tuesday off in this town for the most part. There won’t be a ton of other stuff going on and it’ll help drown out those early in the week blues. Who doesn”t like Johnny Cash too? C’mon, Cash speaks a universal language that reaches you if you listen to Alan Jackson or Metallica or Brittany Spears. It will be a good time, you have been warned.

Concert Review: Local H / Radkey at The Record Bar in Kansas City, MO 2/13/13

Posted on February 14, 2013 by VocalsOnTop

Local H and Radkey Record Bar poster

Local H’s music is filled with anger and hurt feelings. The Valentine’s Day eve show in Kansas City for the band was a little ironic because there is very little of the sweet sentiment associated with the holiday in the group’s music. A Local H setlist reads like a handbook for the heartbroken at times. The band would trot out the appropriate song “Lovey Dovey” for Valentine’s Day but the heartbreak was more apparent than the romanticism as a whole.

It was like being at a show and being able to look over your shoulder to see your ex-girlfriend behind you. When Lucas sings lyrics to songs like “Sad History” it’s hard not to see that ex standing next to her new beau. The heartbreak is all over their set in tunes like “The One with “Kid”” detailing splitting up a record collection after a breakup and when Lucas sings “Another February so much worse than January” during “Another February” you can feel your heart sink just a little bit.

Before the handbook reading started; St. Joseph’s estranged sons, Radkey, would open the show. The group of three young black brothers would take The Record Bar stage and, as always, deliver exactly what they promise. Their fast-paced, abrasive, Misfits-style hard rock was a perfect lead in for Local H. Scott Lucas of Local H would even later say about Radkey: “All my friends have been telling me about you guys… and they were right.”

St. Joseph's estranged sons, Radkey, perform at The Record Bar in what they would dub a "Dream gig" opening for Local H on 2/13/13.

Radkey tore through tunes like “Mind Ride” with soaring guitar solos by singer/guitarist Dee Radke. The young singer would stare intently through the dreads covering his face while he sang the lyrics “You’d better run, he’s coming for you” during “Cat & Mouse.” Bass player Isaiah Radke would be the most active and the voice of the band and 15 year old drummer Solomon Radke would celebrate 15 years sober according to his bass-wielding older brother. After a broken guitar string during “Little Man” Isaiah would observe “Your not doing it right unless your breaking shit.” The crowd would be timid early in the set but by the time the band got to the song “Red Letter” toward the end, the audience would give them a lengthy and emphatic ovation. They would close the night by educating the almost entirely white crowd with the guitly-pleasure sing-along tune “N.I.G.G.A.(Not Okay)”.

Local H would follow the half-hour power set by Radkey with an ear-bleeding display themselves. They would punish ear drums for people all over the small bar with the straight-out guitar crunch of “Heavy Metal Bakesale” and “Night Flight To Paris.” Those two songs would be part of eight songs the duo would play from their newest record Hallelujah! I’m A Bum, composing roughly half of their set. It would seem the Kansas City crowd would not know the new material near as well as the Omaha crowd did just one day after the record’s release when I saw them late last year.

The “classic” Local H songs were in the set though as well. “Hi-Fivin’ MF” always gets a huge crowd reaction (meat heads love screaming the word “fucker”) and “California Songs” definitely fit the bill as what Lucas labeled it; “a Midwest anthem.” Their most famous song “Bound For The Floor” would even have a nice tip of the cap to The Stooges with a little “T.V. Eye” portion thrown in and “Hands On The Bible” always makes the drunken guy behind you sing every word slightly off-key so he can prove he knows the song. “All The Kids Are Right” may be one of the best concert songs ever written; it has killer stop-start guitar parts and brutally true and humorous lyrics about a band not living up to expectations live. The song also gave ample time for drummer Brian St. Clair to wheel around on his stool and soak up his small fan after enduring lengthy stretches of his industrious drumming.

Chicago rockers Local H perform at The Record Bar in Kansas City on 2/13/13.

The personal true highlight was hearing the brilliant “The One With “Kid”” with its band and record naming tactics. It possesses the brilliant line with double meaning; “My heart of glass is scratched.” Lucas wouldn’t be able to keep up with the “ooh ooh ooh” hooks in “They Saved Reagan’s Brain” because the set was so high strung. This wasn’t surprising considering the amount of scream-singing Lucas does during a night. Few singers sound as good as Lucas when shouting so loudly into the mic, the really amazing part is that he puts so much into his singing each night and his voice doesn’t give out.

The set would appropriately end with a cover of The National’s “Terrible Love” that really tied in the theme of broken hearts for the set. As Lucas would crowd surf his way back to the merch table the exhausted audience would realize their ears would be ringing for a week. What better way to sooth your mending heart on Valentine’s Day eve than hearing the lyrics like “So baby could you do me a favor, fall off of the earth and I’ll see ya later” and hoping you don’t cross paths with your ex on the way out the door, whether she is really there or not.

250 Word Album Review: Camper Van Beethoven – La Costa Perdida

Posted on February 9, 2013 by VocalsOnTop

Camper Van Beethoven - La Costa Perdida

Camper Van Beethoven - La Costa Perdida gets 4 stars

David Lowery doesn’t make bad records. The guy has fronted Camper Van Beethoven, Cracker and had a solo album and you can’t pick out one record from any of those releases that isn’t good. Camper Van Beethoven’s 7th album Las Costa Perdida another winner.

The record is surprisingly loose for such a group of experienced musicians. It sounds like the band is having fun which isn’t always the case for a band that has been around for 25-30 years. “Come Down The Coast” leads off the album bringing to mind the sound from Lowery’s recent solo record. Then “Too High For The Love-In” changes pace so often it’s like watching a lava lamp in a dark room from a bean-bag chair. “Peaches In The Summertime” finds the band dialing up the pace with a killer Victor Krummenacher funk-bass groove before shifting into a violin-heavy breakdown. “Northern California Girls” rolls out at over 7 minutes long but stays fresh throughout and proves to be one of the highlights of La Costa Perdida.

Overall the albums finds the CVB a little less Greg Lisher guitar-heavy than their last effort, New Roman Times, and dialing up Jonathan Segel’s violin. This would normally be a questionable thing but CVB uses violin in their music better than any other band that out there; it sounds so natural that it is hard to envision listening to the record without it. This album, released 28 years after their first, finds the rockers who are all around the half century mark having more fun than most bands who are 20 years old.

Key Tracks: “Too High For The Love-In” “Northern California Girls” “Peaches In The Summertime”

250 Word Album Review: Local H – Another February EP

Posted on February 7, 2013 by VocalsOnTop

Local H - Another February EP

Local H - Another February EP gets 3.5 stars

Local H has never been afraid to throw cover songs out to the public. They regularly cover songs in their live sets despite building an expansive catalog at this point. They are often current covers which makes them unique. They band usually goes into the studio and records them as well and makes them available for the fans that want to seek them out.

The Another February EP contains two more covers by the band. A cover of The National’s “Terrible Love” and and epic and ambitious cover of Rush’s “2112 Overture / Temples Of Syrinx.” The other three songs are altered versions from their most recent album Hallelujah, I’m A Bum. The title track is simply a radio edit but the other two are vastly different. “Look Who’s Rocking On Four Legs Again” is an amped up version of the country-tinged “Look Who’s Walking On Four Legs Again” and “Waves” gets the opposite treatment being stripped down to a simple acoustic version. “Waves” in its more bare form is shown as what a good song it actually is. The “Look Who’s Rocking…” version is more representative of how the band performs it live so it has a lot of value on the EP as well.

The covers are good. Scott Lucas and drummer Brian St. Clair seem to have a hard-on for Rush, so “2112” makes perfect sense for them to cover and Local H really throws themselves all the way into the song. “Terrible Love” is an underrated indie song and it’s nice to see it get a nice nod from the veteran Chicago duo on this EP.

Key Tracks: “2112 Overture / Temples Of Syrinx” “Waves Again (Acoustic)”

A VOT Editorial: The $20 CD

Posted on February 5, 2013 by VocalsOnTop

Here at Vocals On Top a lot of opinions are expressed but they are rarely taken on directly and exclusively. Some issues deserve more focus to be put on them and to be discussed in a forum all their own. That is why I am starting VOT Editorials. It will consist of tackling an issue head on and hopefully somebody will read it and agree, disagree or at least think about it for a few seconds. Here is the first installment; The $20 CD.

During a recent review for a concert by blues artist Samantha Fish I took a moment away from describing the stellar show to get on my soapbox and proclaim that charging $20 for a CD was too much. As a buyer of thousands of CDs I have very strong opinions on this and felt the need to voice my opinion.

Samantha Fish' s Runaway CD; it is available for $20 directly from her website.

Samantha Fish’ s Runaway CD; it is available for $20 (plus taxes and shipping) directly from her website if you want to overpay for it.

Cheap albums sell more copies. Period. Obviously quality of content has a lot to do with sales but ultimately this statement is true. In reality, having a “fan” with a copy of an album in their home is the ultimate form of advertising. It is a lot easier to remember and artist if their album is laying on your desk. I think this greatly increases the likelihood of them attending a future show and buying future albums. How do you get it there? Don’t price yourself out of a sale.

It is interesting that the price of albums has very little to do with the quality of the music on the disc. If an artist feels their new record is the best they have ever recorded, should they price it higher? I don’t think so but it is an interesting question. More money is made by artists on quantity of sales and not on the price of the individual unit. A Bob Dylan CD suffers the same pricing structure as a New Kids On The Block CD and that just seems weird.

So why not make all CDs $20? People are less likely to buy them, that’s why. Sure artists could make the same amount of money on one $20 CD as they would two $10 CDs but the audience that will hear it is only half as large. Isn’t the real goal of most artists to have their music heard? I realize that musicians shouldn’t be expected to give their art away, they should get money from their art. I am a strong supporter of musicians and especially local artists because I so strongly believe this. I love listening to local bands like Dsoedean, The Motors and The GasTown Lamps but if they were to charge $20 for a 10 song album (as Samantha Fish does) I probably wouldn’t own one.

There is also a content loophole here. If it is a double album (like Matthew Coman’s recent Carpe Noctem) it would be acceptable to charge $20 if he so chose. I think that he would sell fewer copies but he couldn’t be blamed for charging the higher amount. If a band were to include a bonus DVD; same situation. If the packaging is somehow deluxe, like comes with a screen printed sleeve or something, it would also be alright to charge a higher amount for the album. The price is currently falling in the $10 – $15 range for a standard CD though.

In 1981 Tom Petty held up the release of his album Hard Promises because MCA, his record label, wanted to charge $1 more for the album. He fought the higher price and won. This obviously is a lot different than an artist selling CDs out of their trunk but the same principal is there. I’m sure he wanted to sell more copies and keep his fans happy, buying albums and going to shows. Petty would even say when speaking about his fans: “…raising the album’s price wouldn’t be fair.”

The opposite effect occurred earlier this year when a very unknown indie artist, Ashley Raines, made an extreme point with his pricing structure. He has aggressively fought the piracy of his music (rightfully so) and changed the prices of the only online retailer where you could purchase his album One Trick Mule. I had recently bought this CD from Raines in person (for $10) at a show and it is fantastic. He decided with the amount of piracy he was the victim of he would restructure his pricing. He changed $.99 song downloads to $9.99 each and the cost of ordering a hard copy CD from $10 to $100 for the 11 track album. I don’t know if he sold any at this price but I think it is safe to say he didn’t. I love Mr. Raines’ music and was glad to buy every one of the 3 CDs he had available when I met him. I even downloaded one other album off of iTunes (and I HATE buying digital music). Just because he is the victim of theft doesn’t mean I will pay more for his music though. I would simply buy less of it if the costs were higher, maybe none of it; I do have a house payment.

These examples don’t apply to Samantha Fish though. He album Runaway is an award winning album on Ruf Records put out in 2011. It contains 10 songs and fits on one disc. The booklet folds open once and has the standard liner notes, a couple photos, the artwork is very well done and printed on nice glossy paper. None of these things point to it being worth $20 in my opinion. I would like to add that I have seen close to 500 bands live and this is just the SECOND time I have seen an artist charge $20 for a CD.

The hard cost of producing this CD was probably LESS than the cost local musicians suffer per copy. She has likely sold thousands of this album and I’m not sure if she has pushed this $20 price tag the whole time. You can get the album on iTunes for $9.90 (like any other standard album) and you can get it on Amazon MP3 for $8.99. A hard copy CD is available on Amazon for the sleek price of $11.29. Go to SamanthaFish.com and try to order the CD and you are looking at $20 for the album and it looks like taxes and shipping still needed to be tacked on! I would’ve seen how much that was but I didn’t want to accidentally buy it, like I said, I have a house payment.

So why $20? I don’t understand. All I know is that Samantha Fish is selling fewer units because of this pricing. Congratulations Samantha, I hope this works out for you but I can think of a ton of reasons it won’t.

I would love to hear feedback on this. Please let me know what you think. You can email VocalsOnTop at Gmail.com or just hit me up on my Vocals On Top facebook page or simply comment here.

250 Word Album Review: The Bronx – IV

Posted on February 4, 2013 by VocalsOnTop

The Bronx - IV

The Bronx - IV gets 3 Stars

 

The world need some nice aggressive punk rock and The Bronx is filling the void. They have made a career of putting out solid punk albums and their fourth effort, IV, is not an exception.

While the music on IV isn’t especially revolutionary, it is still a solid listen. The hard edge of songs like “Youth Wasted” are lost in a sea of similar songs on the record. Normally the buzzy guitar of “Too Many Devils” would be a standout but it is surrounded by much of the same. None of this is bad, it just makes for a really hard-edged record that wears you down like a couple rounds in the ring with Oscar De La Hoya. The one very notable exception is “Life Less Ordinary” with it’s severe change of pace from the rest of the album. The track finds vocalist Matt Caughthran accompanied by only a grungy guitar trolling in the background. The song draws much attention to itself and therefor makes it a standout track on the record just because it is so different. What the band does best is the rockers though. The shout-alongs on IV will please fans of the band and it is easy to see them translating into great pieces of a live show.

The Bronx also land themselves as a front-runner for album cover of the year. With the one-color tiger adorning the front of their album with the name worked into the stripe pattern that isn’t immediately noticeable, it is very cool and eye-catching.

Key Tracks: “Life Less Ordinary” “Too Many Devils”

Concert Review: Samantha Fish at Magoon’s in St. Joseph, MO on 2/1/13

Posted on February 3, 2013 by VocalsOnTop

It was the wrong day to be impulsive. With several very good options of shows to go to in St. Joseph on the same night I found myself in limbo. By the time I decided that I would be a fool not to go see Samantha Fish at Magoon’s, it was apparently already late. I didn’t miss any music and I made the 9:00 start time. What happened is that I would face the brunt force of possibly the largest crowd I have ever seen for a St. Joe bar show.

Samantha Fish may be from just over an hour down the road, in Kansas City, but she is a nationally recognized act. She is an award-winning blues guitarist and the cold weather didn’t prevent any of the local crowd from coming out to see her. Having played Magoon’s before, she had built a reputation within the city limits in person already and only increased her status in Jesse James’ hometown with her show on February 1st. With a $10 cover charge at the door, this may have been the most impressive crowd I’ve seen, people were stuffed in every crevice of the bar and there was little room to jostle for a spot to see the young songstress anywhere.

Samantha Fish performs to a packed crowd at Magoon's in St. Joseph, Missouri on 2/1/13.

Samantha Fish performs to a packed crowd at Magoon’s in St. Joseph, Missouri on 2/1/13.

The crowd was unique for this show as well. At the alarmingly young age of 22 years old, Fish was about half the age of many of the people in the crowd she drew. While the age range did vary, there were a lot of bald heads and grey hairs among the roughly 130 people in attendance. Samantha Fish’s music is not limited to her age range as many artists are. With her incredibly heavy classic blues influence this makes perfect sense and came as no surprise.

Many people would quietly tap their feet and nod their head to the music while not even trying to see Fish who was positioned by the front door. Standing at ground level it was tough to see her. What the audience did get was the roar of the three piece band topped off with Fish’s powerful vocals. Her guitar playing was superior (obviously) and it was really a shame most of the people couldn’t see Fish’s fingers sliding up and down the neck of her ax. An excited member of the audience would frantically tap his friends on the arms exclaiming “She’s gonna play a cigar box!” as she started to whale on the surprisingly great sounding 4-string instrument.  Her style of singing may have been the most impressive thing on the night. Her strong, proud and confident vocals soared above the well defined rumble of music made by her guitar, Chris Alexander’s bass and the flashy drumwork of Go-Go Ray. Her vocals were so proud and confident that it took away much of the sultry sexiness of her vocals that is present on her recordings. She is less of an innocent siren and more of a brute force to be reckoned with on stage.

Samantha Fish has the fiery passion that makes the blues what it is. Drenched in the history of the blues, she channeled the ghosts of those who came before and kept the train rolling for those who will come after her. Her songs ranged from R&B grooves like on “You Ain’t Foolin’ Me” to the down home stomping boogie-funk of “Killing Floor.” Fish’s fiery red hair and pretty face were obviously not the only things she had going for her. She has the guitar skills to go up against almost any blues guitarist and the vocals to match. Even when she slowed the pace of the show to cover the Rolling Stones classic “Wild Horses” she managed to keep the very large crowd reeled in.

She has a couple albums out and are available to buy. She had a merch table with them at the show but was charging $20 for a cd. This really bothered me; I mean the Rolling Stones don’t charge $20 for a cd. I’m sure her sales numbers are greatly effected by this and she is really hurting herself by charging this much for them. If they were $10-$15 (as they should have been) more copies would move and more people would be familiar with her music and probably share it with their friends, creating larger crowds at the shows. Her skills are undeniable though and she is a fantastic live performer and that is ultimately why she has came as far as she has and drew this impressive crowd on a cold February night. Anybody who made it to Magoon’s for this show should consider themselves lucky; venues this small won’t hold her music for much longer.

Concert Review: Colby Walter – Here, There and Everywhere

Posted on January 27, 2013 by VocalsOnTop

The St. Joseph, Missouri music scene is in trouble. It appears to be going strong but it is in danger of crumbling to the ground at any second. The scene is a tightly knit community but if one key piece of the scene goes missing, everything might just fall apart.

Colby Walter belts out some solo tunes at The First Ward House in St. Joseph, MO.

Colby Walter belts out some solo tunes at The First Ward House in St. Joseph, MO.

The key piece is Colby Walter. If you see live music in St. Joseph, you have likely seen him perform. Walter bridges genres musically and can pretty much fit in in any band he chooses to play with. He is somewhat of a music savant; he spends more time playing with bands at shows than practicing with them it would seem and the music amazingly doesn’t seem to suffer from it. Over a course of 10 days recently, I saw Walter perform six shows with four different bands. Not only that, I know of at least one other day he was playing during that period that I didn’t see. As for the other three days; I can’t speak of his whereabouts but I’m sure some sort of musical instrument was involved. I should also note that this is not a complete list of all the projects he is involved in, he has played with such acts as Dsoedean, The Motors, The Souveneers, Jamazon Cloud, Aaron Blumer and of course performed solo among others.

Starting on Saturday, January 12th Walter played the role of Jerrad Hardin’s right hand man in the upbeat old-timey folk band The Souveneers. Walter would man both guitar and mandolin on this night. Next was a solo performance where Walter would sing and play acoustic guitar. He would touch on just a couple of original songs but would masterfully work his way through unconventional cover songs that are rare to hear. He would cover The Beatles with songs like “All You Need Is Love” and Bob Dylan with a great readings of “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” and “Love Minus Zero.” He would also dig deep to cover obscure tunes like The Decemberists’ “Los Angeles I’m Yours” and a Frank Black, of the Pixies, solo song “Sir Rockaby.” One of Walter’s solo songs, “Every Song”, can be seen below. The next night he would be solo at a different bar and work through more originals and more of the Bob Dylan songbook including an obscure Dylan cover of “Motorpsycho Nightmare.”

Next up was his gig with local classic rockers The Motors. Walter plays bass in this outfit and leaves the singing to fellow bandmates Tracey Huffman and Sean Cleary. Their brand of tips of the caps to both the blues and country is supremely done and a local favorite for an older crowd in town. The very next day Walter would play to a younger, hipper crowd with indie rockers Dsoedean. Dsoedean is led by Zale Bledsoe with the accompaniment of Bobby Floyd, Marcus Words and of course Walter. Walter’s usual duty with this band is keyboards and some guitar but in the absence of the bands’ bass player for the night, he would seamlessly play both the bass for the group as well as keyboards, many times simultaneously. The next outing with Dsoedean on the last day of this stretch would be more conventional as he would switch back and forth between lead guitar and keyboards. Below is a video of Walter, on the far right, rocking on guitar with Dsoedean’s “Daylight.”

Colby Walter always exudes a certain confidence on stage that is impressive in itself. That paired with his amazing knack for making music make his performances great every time. The St. Joseph music scene would be in despair without him. If he were to leave the News Press would have to add an extra page for wanted musician listings and bar marquees would be empty across town. It appears he is content to stay though and enjoys playing music for all the right reasons, maybe that is part of why he is so good at it.
