YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAWWW!!!

"The boys of 45 Dip have done it again with the truly eclectic, haunting, wild and funky Acid Lounge Goes West!! This one veers away from the acid jazz flavor that they offered on their own CD "The Acid Lounge", "Welcome to the Acid Lounge, Volume 1" and the phenomenal "Acid Lounge in Space", although that style can still be heard, but very faintly. Instead, this latest effort takes you out west with songs that are reminescent of Elvis, Johnny Cash, Apollonia 6 and Muddy Waters. Songs of note are the disturbing "Plastic Jesus" from 45 Dip, the Bluesy "Camieux" from Boojou Bajou, the rock-driven "Black Cadillac" from Pepe Deluxe, the funky "Vegas Vagrants" from 45 Dip, Sugarman's thumpin' "Dodge City" and Ursula Rucker's killer Dr. Rockit remix of the thought-provoking "Seven"--although, this is the only song on the CD that lacks a western flava. That notwithstanding, the "Out West" theme is consistent throughout and the songs are well-selected and original. Even the additions of two country songs ("Poppin' Pills" and "Let's Get Drunk and Screw") are welcome on "Acid Lounge Goes West." There are quite a few other songs I can think of that could have made the cut on this CD like Lemon Jelly's "Ramblin Man" and Boys Don't Cry's "I Wanna Be a Cowboy," but all in all, this set is worth getting if you're looking for something fresh and entertaining. And it's great for travelling cross-country, especially if you're headed...where else...out west! Can't wait for the next Acid Lounge installment...Wonder what it'll be? "Acid Lounge in the Hood"?? How about "Acid Lounge in Africa?" Hey, with some creative licensing from 45 Dip, it could work!"
Funky!!

"Defintely a great album, but VERY different from the other Acid Lounge offerings - the title, 'goes west,' should be taken literally. WARNING: If you visit www.hedkandi.com, it looks like they've made some mistakes in their track listing for this CD, and it is incorrect. The track listing for this CD on Amazon is CORRECTLY ORDERED."
