Chip Hanna and the Berlin Three

Days Gone By

(Igloo Records)



Upon learning of Chip's Punk-drummer resume (U.S. Bombs, One Man Army), listeners unacquainted with his solo incarnation may anticipate Country Music ravaging. But those wise to his ways know that he comes not to destroy that rustic idiom, but to throw arms about its truest nature - while injecting amphetemine boot-juice. Barn-dance fiddle and marvelously bent-string guitars touch shoulders with loose-limbed "Yee haw" drawling and percussive exuberance to produce robust traditionalism sporting fresh glad-rags. Bopping across hardwood, you'll exult in this honesty while lamenting that, elsewhere in corporate clawed-hands, Peoples' Music has been made a eunuch.

Recommended: "Sweet Mental Revenge," "The Way We Were," "Everybody Needs a Wall," "Tossin' & Turnin'," "Anything At All," "Ten Dollar Bill," "Purgatory Breakdown," "Karianne," "The Last Cowboy Guitar," "Max Hanner"
