Superb. VARIOUS Twisted Willie A tribute to Willie Nelson, and a more eclectic bunch of fans would be difficult to find, with Johnny Cash followed by L7, and Breeder Kelly Deal duetting with Kris Kristofferson. ——————————————————————————————————1/5—— GROOVES reviews by Paul Goddard ALL THE LATEST MUSIC NEWS p621 Charts Tour Dates Gigs DigitisetP624 Teletext 624 Mar 2 22:42:18 —————————————— ————————————————————— THIS WEEK'S STUFF COMBUSTIBLE EDISON Schizophonic The much hyped "easy listening" revival keeps on churning out the crazy and the kitsch courtesy of this leisure-lounge- by-numbers collection. But most of the time it's just boring and cringeworthy.

As a result it's smothered by slick and boring production techniques. Sad. THE WBLSABOUTS Devil's Road The Light Will Stay On is divine and melodic with shades of Drugstore, and Rjbecca Wild is powerful and poignant. BAD RELIGION The Gray Race For a while I quite liked Them And Us, but then I woke up screaming! ——————————————————————————————————4/5—— GROOVES reviews by Paul Goddard INTERVIEW: KINKS' DAVE DAVIES p622 Charts Tour Dates Gigs DigitisetP624 Teletext 624 Mar 2 22:34:46 —————————————— S ————————————————————— THIS WEEK'S STUFF SILKWORM Firewater No radio-friendly unit-shifters here, thankfully!
