From the light-hearted strains of Euphoria to the to the moody, Marlene Dietrich-esque Silly Boys, composed for playwright and former group drummer Sam Shepard, Last Round is a manic, inventive tribute to American roots music. It’s like plowing (under the influence) through a crazy uncle’s 78 collection, minus the pops and hisses, to uncover a dozen lost gems. The best known track is the classic Bird song, which first invaded the national consciousness in Easy Rider and was reworked to its creators’ satisfaction on this album. August, 1967 reminds of us of the time when we thought our minds were endlessly elastic, while God, What Am I Doing Here? may remain the only constant notion after four-plus decades. New to this CD reissue are the final three tracks, including Snappin' Pussy, which necessitates the addition of the Parental Advisory warning. Lyrics, vintage notes and an update from Peter Stampfel are included to accompany the listener on this journey. Also available on Amazon. |
