Customer Reviews

Ridgway is the real deal - accept no substitutes!
     

What a great collection! It's been a little more than 25 years since L.A.'s Stan Ridgway and Wall of Voodoo released Call of the West, and that calls for a drink. The album's dusty, Barstow-to-Bakersfield, Ross Macdonald-meets-Edward G. Ulmer in a Death Valley Detour to nowheresville title track and grimly optimistic film noir narratives still reverberate across the musical Route 66 Voodoo frontman Stan Ridgway paved, roadkill and all. It's the closest musical approximation yet of that hardscrabble, postwar, westward wanderlust to rush headlong into the unknown, "And above all to get a fair shake, to get a piece of the rock, a slice of the pie, to spit out the window of your car and not have the wind blow it back in your face.." Ridgway's post-Wall of Voodoo output has, if anything, cemented his neo-noir rep as one of American music's great storytellers and songwriters, the wild and wily Steinbeck of sad whiskey railroads and rusted, ramshackle American dreams. Great!

Good Album, but I feel cheated
     

I've been listening to Ridgway and Wall of Voodoo for many many years, since the early or mid-Eighties I suppose. I enjoyed this record, the performance is great and some songs still really get to me. However, Mexican Radio, perhaps WoV's biggest commercial success, has the sound intentionally degraded. Other live records show the same treatment. I'm not sure if it's Ridgway or iTunes, but it stinks. I guess Ridgway now "talks big business with authority" after all these years.

how not to be a wallflower
     

stanard quincy ridgeway, this is a great live album that would make lou reed cry if he hadn't of shot up thru his own tearducts. an album that would make tom waits stop drinkin gasoline and start drinkin lemonade. stan ridgway isn't an american original...i really don't care or want to know but i hope he never stops.

Biography

Genre: Alternative

Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s

One of the most unique singer/songwriters in American indie music, with an unforgettable adenoidal vocal delivery that makes him sound like a low-level wise guy in one of those old Warner Bros. gangster films of the '30s and a lyrical obsession with the themes of pulp crime novels and film noir, Stan Ridgway is a true original. From his early days with quirky Los Angeles new wavers Wall of Voodoo to his even...
