The Side Burns

Whiskey's Not So Evil

(Self-issued)



In self-penned tales of heartsickness (and in a Lee Hazlewood cover), guitarist/singer Ziad Samman laments treacherous charmers. He and collaborators Shunsuke and Paul dispatch vibrancy that, while shaded by rustic inclinations, is muscular to a beat-down degree. (They recently trod club-boards alongside Guitar Wolf; that requires formidability.) In the swaybacked-Country closer, a Wynn Stewart number, Ziad declares with finality the morbid criminality to which inconstancy has provoked him.

Recommended: "Shunsuke's Last Stand,' "Pink Fuzz Box," "Still As the Night," "Whiskey's Not So Evil," "Outlaw Hearts," "I'm Gonna Kill You"
