Album Description

Riot City Blues' is Primal Scream's follow-up album to the electro-tinged 'Evil Heat', although it could easily be compared in style and content to their 1994 masterpiece 'Give Out But Don't Give In'. Bluesy, punky swagger and New York Dolls-esque melodies abound, marking this album out as a more organic affair than Bobby Gillespie & Co's previous two albums. Includes the single 'Country Girl'.Recorded at London's Olympic Studios and produced by former Killing Joke bassist Youth. This offering from Bobby Gillespie and the boys, which includes the single 'Country Girl', features guest contributions from Will Sergeant (Echo & The Bunnymen), Warren Ellis (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) and Alison Mosshart (The Kills). Sony/BMG. 2006.

Customer Reviews:

There are no Blues in this Riot City.......2007-01-20

Ahh, Primal Scream. Back to rock music, and back to original band spelling.

Bobby Gillespie and his men are just like the mystery bag, you never know what type of album youll get next from them. They seems to bounce into different genres every album now from rock, to electro, to metal to dance etc...so...which one is this one?

Riot City Blues (album title is a slight giveaway) is just a strong, fullblooded rock n roll record. This aint a Primal first...(remember Screamadelica follow up Give Out, But Dont Give Up?) and i highly doubt it will be the last either. This nonsensical brash rock n roll should be on future Scream albums - and thank god for that

This is a solid album straight from the word go, wtih the hit singles Country Girl and Dolls giving a real insight into the album. Not to mention the bluesyness of Suicide Sally and Johnny Guitar..i think we know who that song may be dedicated to..

Elsewhere, the specials guets (Warren Ellis, Will Sergent, Alison Mosshart) all shine, imparticular Will on the strong, guitar heavy "When the Bomb Drops. Another album highly.

I close by saying..

This another top Primal Scream album. Thats all you need to know really. [...]

great dumb rock.......2006-09-25

I have been looking forward to this one for a long time. I saw Primal Scream play a few years ago in San Francisco. It was an okay show. The audience was there to see Underworld. I ran into Bobby Gillespie at a show at the Hollywood Bowl. I guess he was in town mixing the record with Dave Sardy. This record is a back to basics. There are no electronics. No Stooges meet Krautrock. No mixes by Kevin Shields. The lineup of the band is a little different. It's a little raw and a little like Exile on Main Street. This is in evidence with the first single "Country Girl." This is country rock in high style. "Nitty Gritty" is more Stones influenced rock. One of the best songs is "Suicide Sally & Johnny Guitar." Roots rock meets hard rock. "We're Gonna Boogie" reminds me of The Kills. Alison Mosshart from the Kills sings on a few songs. "Dolls" is a real glam rock song. This is a pretty good record. It's a great mix of roots rock, Stones obsessions, and good old time rock and roll. There is no electronic weirdness and sound collages. This is a party album. It should go down well. Bobby Gillespie was sort of obscure a few years ago. But with the help of the Internet, he is like considered one of the coolest people ever.

Great CD, Combining the Best Elelemts of the Group's Past Work.......2006-09-10

With tracks that range from country-esque to stompin' crankers, this CD is well worth the money. While the music is diverse, almost every track stands on its own.

A huge fan of "Sreamadelica" back in the day, I nearly gave up on the band after the "Vanishing Point" CD, and I viewed "EXTRMNTR" as a very uneven work (flashes of brilliance intermixed with headache-inducing nonsense). But if you liked "Give Out But Don't Give Up" (I love that CD), then you should be happy with this one. Again, very diverse stuff, but rock solid all aound.

love the way this band never stands still..........2006-08-12

there's very few bands that can shift gears quite like Primal Scream. from Screamadelica to Give Out... to XTRMNTR, these guys are always changing their spots. Riot City Blues leans mostly towards Give Out...(minus the P-Funk influence) with its "Rocks Off" attitude, yet still has a sound all its own. Standout tracks: Suicide Sally, Little Death, 99th Floor and
the New York Dolls nod Sweet Rock n'Roll...

From Progressive to Regressive........2006-08-05

This is far the worst album from english previously called progressive alt-rock band. The only two songs that matters here with some signs of their past work are When The Bomb Drops and Little Death. Everything else is a silly honky tonky rock'n roll that has not far from Country American Music.
