Product Description

CD Description

You might think you're unfamiliar with Chuck E. Weiss, but you're probably incorrect. He became a permanent sidebar to pop culture when Rickie Lee Jones' ode to his romantic bliss"Chuck E.'s In Love" became a huge hit in the '70s. That decade saw the release of some Weiss solo material that went largely unnoticed. After a long recording layoff, veteran L.A. scenester Weiss returns with EXTREMELY COOL. Produced by his longtime buddy TOM WAITS, the album sounds like a slightly more accesible version of Waits' RAIN DOGS-era material, full of purposefully primitive percussion, artfully twisted, blindingly eclectic arrangements and gravelly, mad-dog vocals. Weiss' is a vision of America that effectively blends trailer park, carnival and freak show. His compositions are much more conventional than those of Waits (who cowrote a couple of tunes here), but the production takes them just as far from the mainstream as Waits' weirdest.

3.0 out of 5 stars Strange blues, will suit Waits fans, 14 April 2000
Brilliant, if you like this type of thing! It sounds like an unfinished Tom Waits record. Some clever lyrics and above all, it grows on you if you keep playing it in the car.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for Tom Waits fans, 26 Feb 2005
Like most people who have bought this, I did so on the strength of the connection with Tom Waits. But - I was delighted to find someting that was actually interesting. It's not one for the majority, perhaps, as it doesn't have any candidates for singles, no emotional ballads, no rousing choruses, no teenage indignation. What it does have it some honest to god good musicians, who can play anything from blues to zydeco to surreal, sometimes in the same song, and sound like they're having fun doing it. It may take a couple of listens, but it will keep you coming back to it again and again. Definitely worth trying, if most of what gets put out these days sounds uninspired and familiar to the point of tedium. An earthy, warm sound that is a breath of fresh air.
