Seven Times Hotter Than Fire & Every Time I Feel The Shift by T-Bone Burnett; From The True False Identity (2006)
The first album of new, non-soundtrack material from the now esteemed hillbilly archivist in many years. TFI is wired, stanky and full of a righteous moral fury that feels like a much needed and well-deserved slap in the face. Musically it feels like a cross between Rain Dogs-era Tom Waits (Marc Ribot adds his usually pointy guitar) and The Seeds (late 60's flower punk band know for "Pushin Too Hard") with a little My Bloody Valentine thrown in for good measure. TFI sometimes sounds like a pissed off dog that just climbed out of a gassy swamp and is about to set off after the bastard who abandoned him there. The dog is right to be pissed and you want to stay on his good side. If you stay on his good side, everything is going to be just fine.
