CD ReviewsLet?s see the Yankees pull off something this cool! Doghouse King | Omaha, NE United States | 01/30/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "ESPN's Peter Gammons, along with some prominent members of the Boston scene, including Red Sox owner Theo Epstein and some of his players, stage an annual fundraising event at the Hot Stove in Boston. This is the first release from the events, which donate proceeds to the Jimmy Fund and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.It's a great assemblage of talent, brought together to jam, primarily through a love of baseball. Pearl Jam is the "biggest name," but actually contributed the worst song, a rant of political ax-grinding that was out of place on a disc of classic covers, blues-bar jams, straight-ahead college rock and stadium ditties. In addition, it was the least compelling musically.On a positive note, former Letters to Cleo frontwoman (and Josie vocalist) Kay Hanley offers up the best two songs, Your Summer Baby, and The Dirty Glass, in conjunction with Irish brawlers The Dropkick Murphys. Hanley is a criminally underknown artist, the prime rock chick out there today.Other standouts include:
- Epstein's band, Trauser, covering the Neil Young classic. Trauser's female vocalist is very good, and put me mindful of Anneke from The Gathering or Cristina from Lacuna Coil, although musically the bands are far apart from these comparisons - The slower but compelling song from Susan Tedeschi, who reminded me a lot of Norah Jones -The Thin Lizzy-esque Hit That by The Gentlemen - Past Due by Scott Spiezio's band Sandfrog, which would be at home on any modern rock radio station - The funky Hoy Hoy by Little Feat - The punky Hi-Fi Killer by American Hi-Fi - And Rock and Roll Parts 1 and 2 by The Hot Stove All-Stars (including some Red Sox chanting the familiar "Hey!").Other non-Sox ballers pitch in as well, and hearing them may be a revelation to casual fans of music or of baseball. This certainly is an interesting menagerie of professional and semi-professional bands covering several genres that fit together fairly well. On a final note, as a vocalist Gammons makes a very good sportscaster. But his rockabilly-type songs are lots of fun. And that's the idea behind this whole album." |
