IN THE RED
Artist: KNOXVILLE GIRLS Title: In A Paper Suit
Format: CD Catalog
Number:		 ITR75CD
Price: $12.00 Label: In The Red
Release
Date:		 2/26/01
***In 1999 Jerry Teel (Honeymoon Killers, Chrome Cranks), Kid Congo Powers (The Cramps, Gun Club, Nick Cave's Bad Seeds), Bob Bert (Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore), Jack Martin (Little Porkchop) and Barry London came together and recorded and released their self-titled debut album. The Knoxville Girls lay down a raw blend of country/western, soul, rockabilly and blues as interpreted by their collective Lower East Side psyche.

They've been described as "no wave country" and "a cross between Charlie Feathers and the Velvet Underground." They've toured extensively in the US and Europe to enthusiastic response. Bigger, louder and grittier than their debut, In A Paper Suit is an absolute rock'n'roll masterpiece. The Rolling Stones would pay good money to call this album their own.

Artist: KNOXVILLE GIRLS Title: In The Woodshed
Format: LP Catalog
Number:		 ITR70
Price: $8.25 Label: In The Red
Release
Date:		 3/27/00
***The self-titled debut by Knoxville Girls (Jerry Teel, Kid Congo Powers, Bob Bert, Jack Martin and Barry London) was a soul-stirrer. It was countrified. It was a rock'n'roll testimonial. It has continued to sell since its release in September '99. It was described as Charlie Feathers backed by the Velvet Underground. To say that In the Woodshed, a live document, leans toward the latter would be a gross understatement. Recorded this past year at Maxwell's, this ultra-crude live album captures all the atonal noise and sonic drone of their live shows. Several songs not featured on their In The Red debut appear here, including a rendition of the Shangri-La's "Sophisticated Boom Boom" sung by Kid Congo that'll drop your ass out of a cropduster bi-plane onto a hay bale. Packaged to look like an old Stones or Dylan bootleg - to match the sound quality - In the Woodshed comes in a white, hand-stamped jacket with a paper insert. Ah, the good ol' days...

***Beyond the great strengths of drummer Bob Bert, singer/guitarist Jerry Teel, guitarist Kid Congo Powers, guitarist Jack Martin and organist Barry London's pedigrees and disparate influences, The Knoxville Girls is an entity far outweighing the sum of its parts. Yet another spontaneous re-creation of rock'n'roll written and recorded with a no-frills, workmanlike approach at New York City's famed Funhouse Studio, the album is an intuitively immediate debut release. Having been compared to "Charlie Feathers as backed by the Velvet Underground," Knoxville Girls also bring to mind the thin, wild mercury sound of Newport-era Dylan or music that could be described as "country no wave." Knoxville Girls is a travelogue of American musical styles, a gap-toothed jukebox floating in the grimy Hudson River, spilling into the muddy Mississippi and out into the Gulf of Mexico. A timely and yet timeless collection of songs.

With the interplay of three guitars careening into each other like subway trains derailed, a truncheon-like backbeat and a layer of Farfisa, harmonica and sax flying around like New York trash and autumn leaves, The Knoxville Girls is an album anyone would hope to have wash up on his or her shore.
