Lydia Loveless – Bad Way to Go

Video 5 Comments

If Neko Case revolted to her country upbringing in high school and started listening to punk rock she might have come out something like this.

  1. And a special thanks to NBB. You have broadened our horizons this past week.

    1. Thanks 1st. Almost a video fial tho, earlier in the week. Was about to hit send on my post of Puerto Rico's Daddy Yankee's Rompe, when I thot - hey - the dude is wearing enemy logos - you can't post that crap!

  2. SPIN reports:

    Lydia Loveless: A tiny slip of a blonde in a frilly skirt and cowboy boots, who on first pass may look like a headstrong brat playing dress-up and struggling to hoist a normal-sized guitar, Lydia Loveless is, in reality, one of the most badass country or Americana or rootsy-fartsy songwriters working today. Her Red Eyed Fly set at the Bloodshot Records showcase was a revelation. The Columbus, Ohio native’s 2011 album Indestructible Machine rivaled any hardcore outfit for sheer punk bluntness, yet its snarling, voluble, heart-busted, honky-tonk narratives were both painfully intimate and craftily sophisticated, like every misbegotten 3 a.m. e-mail sent to an ex or asswipe acquaintance you met at a bar, rendered into a wailing shot-from-both-sides jukebox classic. At her best, Loveless is like late-era Lucinda Williams fueled by early-era Miranda Lambert’s bright-eyed revenge; and she’s got a seasoned band — Todd May on guitar, Ben Lamb on bass, Parker Chandler on drums — that gives the songs a coolly rollicking foundation. Loveless may not even be a household murmur right now, but she’ll get hers soon enough, and the old alt-country guard better look out. The Red Eyed Fly show’s high point was Loveless’ righteously cutting stalker tale "Steve Earle," which possesses the best opening line of any song released all last year: "He read an article that said I like to do cocaine / And now he comes to all my shows and says if I need some he'll pay." Consider yourself warned, aging insurgent horndogs. CHARLES AARON

    Aaron was my first favorite music reviewer, from his days reviewing singles in SPIN from, say, 1992-1997.
