ROCK AND ROLL REGRESSION.......2003-04-19

Ah, "Pictures of Matchstick Men", maybe the coolest psyche-rock hit single to emerge from the '60s, with the perfect mesmerizing lyrics that mesnt God-knows-what although any discerning listener could picture the image of matchstick men, the swarming, disturbed vocals that eerily blended from left to right speakers, a wah-wah peddle, and a blistering wake up call to the heart lead guitar that alerted you to your favorite song on the radio. I wonder what ever happened to, um, ... what was their name? Status Quo? Was that their name? Apparently, after 'Matchstick Men', this English band continued to produce hit after hit in their native land, and continues to be a working popular band there today, but nary another light show under the eyelids in America, although the title song, "Ice In The Sun" sure rings a distant decades buried bell and included here must be the original recording of "Green Tambourine", made famous in America by, um, ... I can't remember their name. So where does Status Quo go after the majestic psychedelia of 'Matchstick Men'? All sorts of places; rockabilly, classic Southern rock, Delta blues, Bee Gees balladry, jangly pop, and every now and then, a whisp of their paychedelic roots. Some of these unknown songs get better and better with each listen, but I begin to think it may be better to burn out than fade away. As the album closes and it is apparent Status Quo is seething into what amounts to a very good Allman Brothers-like cover band, I get the suspicion their mellow, 70s rock, another round of beers attitude couldn't even listen to "Pictures of Matchstick Men" today, let alone play it.
