The Coal Dust Cowboys

Beneath the Old Slag Heap

(Western Star)



Quite what could be anticipated from spry-rattling Stage Frite refugees Steve D'Ath, Joe Mason, and Clive Perchard, plus erstwhile Shark/present Western Star major domo Alan Wilson. By which is meant rangy, trad-bent Psycho, boasting equal quantities jocularity, merry rashness, and snickered smuttiness. Surprise springs when sensitivity makes respectful cameo. In its brief wake, though, jolly madness returns at fun gallop. And all is well, in haunts of quiff and razor.

Recommended: "The Jolly Collier," "Resurrection Men," "Waffle Stomp," "Hard Love," "Porn in the Woods," "Three-Holed Electric Love Doll," "You're My World," "Creeper Van," "I've Had Enough of You," "Dead Man's Drape"
