Track 15


Bonnie Brae by The Twilgiht Singers
From Powder Burns (One Little Indian/2006)
If I had to describe the music of Greg Dulli’s Twilight Singers or his previous group, the Afghan Whigs in two words, and I guess I do, I’d say “slinky bombast”. And it isn’t as if the two bands sound that much alike. Its just a thing that Dulli does, some essential attitude that he brings to the table that is unlike anybody else. Maybe they sound like the result of a one off by Prince and Soundgarden. He’s got great rock and soul instincts, some artistic as well as personal self-control issues and a filmic sort of hand. Mean, nasty and mannered at the same time, ultimately its just really good rock and roll.
