MICHAEL DEAN DAMRON-“Bad Days Ahead”

Posted on November 24th, 2008 by ekko

If you’re a fan of the classic rock and blues sounds of rootsy growlers like Steve Earle or Fred Eaglesmith, you might enjoy “ Bad Days Ahead,” the latest release by Michael Dean Damron, formerly of the band I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch in the House. It’s Damron’s second solo album, and his first with Thee Loyal Bastards, a backing band comprised of members of Eels, The Wipers, and Fireballs of Freedom. It’s pretty much nonstop barnburners, with nothing shocking or new, but with every song sounding tried and true. There’s nothing polished or clean—it’s raw, honest, singer-songwriter rock and roll. And I like it. Particularly “Andy Gibb” (dl link below), a song about a dude with hair like a certain Bee Gee poster boy. It’s funny, cool, and a sweet party tune.

    HOW CAN I GET IN ON THIS?

    • Email me
      for the specifics but, basically:
    • I listen to all submissions of entire albums, not songs or compilations.
    • With rare exceptions I will not review material protected by the RIAA. So Sony, BMG, etc., don't start sending me crap. I'm not interested.
    • I don't listen to streams.
    • I won't read online comic-books. I may read .pdfs. I will read all hardcopy submissions.
    • I will review only submissions that I can recommend. I'm not here to do negative reviews.
    • Contact me to tell me to remove something. I'll take it down within 24 hours.
