Hits and Exit Wounds One Little Indian |
Best known for “Woke Up This Morning,” the theme song to The Sopranos, the nine-piece group possesses an expert sensibility for live performance, character persona and brilliant genre-blending. They’re a little bit country and a little bit everything else. Clever lyrics delivered like old westerns over acid house techno beats, with overtones of blues and gospel music – and it all works beautifully. Vocalist Larry Love has a rough, chain-smoking delivery, always sounding like someone just bust up his preferred saloon, and Dr. D. Wayne maintains the constant image of the sleazy tent revival preacher. Hits and Exit Wounds is a retrospective album, with a massive 18-track listing including not only that damn TV song, but a fine collection of A3’s material, in a unique, dance-able, hilarious and brilliant album.
