but James Leg and Van Campbell put on one of the dirtiest, loudest, most feral live shows around, and here nail their sonic tour de force for home consumption.If Tom Waits, Howling Wolf and Animal from the Muppets serenading a jet engine in a tunnel makes your perfect Sunday morning (and why shouldn't it, pop pickers?It's hard to tell whether Black Diamond Heavies keyboardist and singer John Wesley Myers was born with a greasy spoon stuck in his throat or if his gruff vocals are just the result of many years spent trying to sing along to Tom Waits records.Still Auerbach's work is one of the keys (no pun intended) to the record's success.Touch is a gritty triumph, the kind of record that can't be made without more than a little blood and sweat.But mucho credit is given to these Heavies for retaining that storming, redlining fuzz to the point of something like a new kick.The Black Diamond Heavies are a favorite around here at MUD.They make the BLACK KEYS sounds like ABBA on a milk hangover.Play loud over a highball of whiskey.Now if they would only play Toronto, life would be really fuzzy.When I talked about the debut record from the Black Diamond Heavies, I made mention that they toed the line between heaven and hell, between sainthood and sin on almost every song.Sure the lineup is still in tact and some of the influences remain the same, but BDH don't seem as concerned with where they will end up when their time is up, knowing life is what it is and the only thing you can do is enjoy the ride.Aside from the terrific Nina Simone cover (Oh, Sinnerman) and the reference to Balaam's talking donkey on Numbers 22 (Balaam's Wild Ass), Leg seems to have stopped worrying about what the man above thinks.It's much more personal, more fleshed out and really shows that BDH are more than just a killer blues duo that can make you spill whiskey and sweat as you stamp along on the floor.To me though, it's the huge shifts in sound that are even more shocking.Loose Yourself drifts to the edge of metal, with crazy arena choruses and thick sludgy sounds.While this might be a bit concerning to fans that dug the first record, I'm actually surprised by how well the band makes the transition.For an immediate taste of Auerbach's production skills, pick up the new Black Diamond Heavies album, A Touch of Someone Else's Class, at the band's Saturday night performance at Musica.Numbers 22 (Balaam's Wild Ass) and the ballad Bidin' My Time sounds eerily like an impersonation of Waits' Small Change era.Nina Simone's take on the old spiritual Oh, Sinnerman, which Auerbach said came from one of those spontaneous moments in the studio.They weren't even planning on recording that song.To say John Wesley Myers has a rough, weathered voice is an understatement.Dude sings like he's survived his adult life on a diet of unfiltered cigarettes, moonshine, gasoline, and shards of broken glass.While those pipes may be enough to distinguish the Black Diamond Heavies from the rest of the garage rock crowd, there's also the matter of their unique set up.If your woman's got you down, then the best thing you can do is call together the band and holler about it
The Black Diamond Heavies' A Touch of Someone Else's Class, recorded with Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, will be out June 10th on Alive Records.The Black Diamond Heavies play some of the dirtiest blues around.The album includes a Tina Turner cover and a Nina Simone one too.Overall it's a great work, the only question that I can't answer for myself is if this album is better than their first.This one is funkier and has some better jams but that doesn't mean it's overall better.And that is a good thing.Part of the fun is picking out and identifying the many influences you hear.The most obvious is Myers' voice, which is part Tom Waits and part Iggy Pop with a little Joe Cocker in there, too.The beauty is how well it all works together.The CD also includes one bonus track not on the LP.You can also find I Rock Cleveland on Myspace, Facebook, and Virb, even if I have no clue what to do with these social network things.I've spent covering independent and underground rock music in Cleveland: The Best Local Music Blog (Scene Magazine Best of Cleveland 2008), a hot blog (Cleveland Magazine, March 08), and a "god awful blog" in "one of the most culturally devoid cities in the world" (Anono commenter Oct 08).Rad artwork provided by Dimitri Simakis
