The Yetties - A West Country Pub Party
2 von 2 finden das hilfreich Dorset's answer to the Wurzels return for a live album recorded in 2005 in their Sherborne hometown. The album is mostly made of medleys of old songs, underpinned by a theme such as love or the war years or even, cheekily, Wurzels songs. Driven by frantic accordion playing and west country accents, the whole collection is a fine slice of good-time folk music that doesn't take itself at all seriously and sounds like it was a right laugh to make. Not one for the folk purists but if you fancy hearing a bunch of old standards and feel like a chuckle as well then this album is well worth checking. It be recommended by I.

Shonen Knife - Rock Animals
I should begin by admitting some bias in this review - Shonen Knife are, alongside Jethro Tull, my all-time favourite band and the Japanese female accent does funny things to me! Therefore if you are looking a balanced, critical review you are in the wrong place!
Shonen Knife's second album on a major label represents a belting piece of work from the ladies. Given their reputation for hard rocking the album begins quite calmly, with the first five songs all of a delicate nature. This is most noticeable on the delightfully kooky "Catnip Dream", which appears to be made of gossamer. The tone changes on "Tomato Head", a song that verges on L7 territory with deeper vocals and a heavy guitar sound. And no, the subject of the song is not Steve McFadden!
To underline the band's eclectic nature the jolly piano-driven ballad that is another "Another Day" recalls some of Supertramp's work whilst "Johnny Johnny Johnny" is pure 50s style rock n roll, somewhat in the vein of the 5678s. The styles continue to be crossed by "Cobra versus Mongoose", undoubtedly the album's punkiest moment, and one that could easily have been made by the Exploited were it not for the vocals. The album ends with "Music Square", a tour-de-force that recalls "Heart of Gold"-era Neil Young and which is probably the best song from a very fine album.
Shonen Knife have never been more than a footnote in music in this part of the world which is a shame but suggests that their silly lyrics and Japanese pronounciations make them an acquired taste. It is however a taste that I am very glad to have acquired and for me only "Let's Knife" sits above "Rock Animals" in the Shonen Knife canon. Overall, this is a brilliant album to which all people of discernment should give a chance.

Daisy Chainsaw - Eleventeen
One of the odder bands spawned by the punk-influenced indie scene of the late 1980s, this 1992 album catches Daisy Chainsaw at the height of their powers. Heavy fuzzy guitars are the order of the day for this album, with the delicate vocals of KatieJane Garside providing a wonderful counter-balance. The album plugs along in its own weird way with sudden key changes bursting out of nowhere, as well as random sounds such as fire-alarms thrown into the madness. As first listens go it is probably best avoided for those recovering from open heart surgery but you certainly never know what to expect next. At times it is a strain to hear the vocals and you almost feel yourself saying "speak up, dear" although when the driving music takes a back seat Garside has a fine ethereal voice, almost reminiscent of Tori Amos in parts. Generally this is a fine slice of oddball early 90s alternative from a band who made nowhere near the impact that they should have. A very good listen and definitely worth checking out.
