Product Description
Amazon.co.uk
As the songwriting mastermind behind the Violent Femmes, Gordon Gano is worthy of respect. On his solo outing Hitting the Ground, he gets it, with an all-star line-up of guests recording Gano originals. Yet this is no tribute album: most of the 11 tracks here were written for other vocalists, so the likes of Frank Black, They Might Be Giants, Mary Lou Lord, John Cale and Lou Reed all contribute. Best of all, though, is PJ Harvey, who manages to pull off a fair impression of Gano's trademark frenetic yelps on the title track. The man himself even gets a few opportunities to shine, rocking through "Make It Happen", dueting with Martha Wainwright on "It's Money", even reprising "Hitting the Ground". But it's the guest stars who really shine here. If a man can be judged by the quality of his friends, then Hitting the Ground is testament to Gordon Gano's genius. --Robert Burrow
