Every so often there’s a song that really catches you because of another sound it reminds you of. When I first heard This Lullaby by Queens of the Stone Age it reminded me of Tom Waits with the gruff sounding vocals and simple sounding guitar… hell even the lyrics gave me that impression.
When I followed through with this album I got allot more catchier songs, that I would be able to listen to for years later. Little Sister caught me with the cowbell at the beginning, because no one does that any more, unless it’s during a live album. The drums continue to kick ass throughout the whole song till the guitar solo kicks in at 1:01.
Ending songs can sound really cool and still kick ass, Queens of the Stone Age do that with Long Slow Goodbye… this one was really good and ends the album well, but then again this band always closes strong. This song really makes you want more, and the band later did deliver another great album eventually.
At the end of the Year I'm playing to do something a little different from normal, hope you folks will dig it... but till then keep listening to The Pinata Hour and remember to PASS IT ON
