353.0. "Salty Dog" by HAZEL::STARR (We're beating plowshares into swords...) Thu Jan 04 1990 14:54

I heard a song from these guys recently - once on WGIr and once on WAAF. I 
don't remember the title, but it was pretty cool. Anyone have any more info 
aobut them?

    Yah, I hear that song playing on WAAF all the time but, just found out
    who sings it last night.  I can't remember the name either.  But, it's
    pretty cool.  Maybe someone else out there can fill us in. - Kim

353.6MILKWY::SLABOUNTYI get weird ...Fri Jan 26 1990 11:4611
    
    	Yup, I got it last night.  I've only listened to it once,
    	but so far the only comment I have is that his voice gets
    	irritating after awhile.  (Ya know at the end of "Come A-
    	long", when his voice gets real high?  He uses the same voice
    	in alot of the other songs).
    
    	Of course, "Come Along" cranks.

353.7MILKWY::SLABOUNTYHere's looking up your address!!Fri Feb 23 1990 19:4810
    
    	After listening to this album about 4 times or so, I have
    	to say that most of it cranks ... not just "Come Along".
    	That's still my favorite from this album, though.
    
    	Heck, I even like most of the "power ballads" (there's a-
    	bout 3 of those) on here.

    couldn't help myself.

353.112 good purchasesTALLIS::QUEBECMon Jul 30 1990 11:048
    
    Also picked up this CD with the Black Crowes.  After the first listen
    I thought oh god why did I buy this, other than for Lonesome Fool?
    But the more I listened the more I liked.  The ballards are great.
    The lead singer does however sound like Axl Rose once in awhile but
    other than that the CD is great!

353.12Not too thrilledCOOKIE::G_HOUSEGive a littleMon Jul 30 1990 16:1010
    I picked this one up awhile back and it's *ok*, but I wasn't thrilled. 
    I was surprised to hear "Lonesome Fool" getting airplay when I was in
    the Boston area a couple of weeks ago, I think it's one of the worst
    songs on the album.

    Overall, I wasn't all that impressed.  I think I'd probably like it
    better if that guitar player would lose that stupid harmonic squeal
    that he seems to put in every song.  It gets pretty tiring..

    RE: Greg - Same opinion.  I bought the album and listened to it
    once.
353.14USCTR1::KGALLANTMon Jul 30 1990 17:418
    
    	RE: Greg and Kim
    
    	Ditto.  I bought it, listened to it once, decided I couldn't
    	stand to hear the lead singer screech and it's been in my
    	rack between RAP and SIMON/GARFUNKEL every since.

    Hmm everyone I talk to about this album has the same things to say. 
    The Singer's voice gets on Their nerves.  I've listened to it twice,
    Black Crowes being on the otherside over rules them.  But, I like
    it.  
    
    
353.18CHEFS::DALLISONLove: the long road to painThu Aug 16 1990 12:273
    
    
    I bought the cd ages ago, and I really like it.
353.19KETJE::VLASIUTue Aug 21 1990 12:315
    I listened it few weeks ago. They have potential for hard rock and
    should define a more personal style. These being said, I'll not buy the
    CD as it is far from my own taste.

    Who cares about their technical abilities - all that matters is
    that it sounds good, entertains people and sells.

353.24Every Dog Has It's DayCAVLRY::BUCKOh no...Let me go!Mon Feb 03 1992 02:3616
    Woah...this note has been dead for a tad!!
    
    I just found my LONG LOST (and much missed!) Salty Dog tape this
    weekend...this band is *roolin*!
    
    I forgot what good songs this album has...Come Along, Cat's Got Nine,
    Ring My Bell, Lonesome Fool, Slow Daze, Sacrifice Me..
    
    Granted, the singer's voice can get annoying at times, esp. in his
    "high range", it's rather whiney (yeah, worse than Vince Neil!), but
    it's cool in his lower range, which is a good portion of the singing.
    I really like the guitar players sound and style...very unique.  The
    drums and bass are very tight.  
    
    I donno, I just really like this tape

    Come along was my favorite song for about a month. all I would listen
    to. I bought the cd because of it.
    
    The res of the album...not very good.
353.27wowTROOA::RATTMANWed May 13 1992 18:496
    I thought the whole album was good.
    
    Anyone know if there will be a follow up album?

353.28GOES11::G_HOUSEUnder my wheelsWed May 20 1992 16:204
    Seems like an awful long time for a follow up, I suspect there won't be
    one.  But I don't know anything for sure.

    True, but interestingly enuff, the dude uses a stock english 100wt
    marshal amp, with not a lot of gain happening either.  He squeels
    with the best of em -- a good arguement in the Cooper "Marshalls
    suck cuz they don't squeel" arguement!
353.33GOES11::G_HOUSEIt's NOT a TOOMAH!Fri Feb 12 1993 19:313
