Prudhomme paid his indie-rock dues with the band Fuck in the '90s; now he's settled in the musically fertile environs of Memphis. With help from engineer Doug Easley (who also contributes pedal steel), <I>With the Hole Dug</I> marks a departure from Fuck's collaborative efforts but retains their signature understated intimacy. Prudhomme's subdued rock and shoo-wop blues center on stories of despair and dying love. Like Lou Reed's excellent <I>Berlin</I>, tracks like "Pachelbel Blues" paint a portrait of peeling wallpaper and forlorn loneliness--you'll swear you can hear faucets dripping and a drunken man snoring--all underneath Prudhomme's soothing near-whisper vocals (he buffs his voice with a bit of sandpaper and reticent phrasing that punctuates these slow-mo gems perfectly). To be sure, it isn't half as depressing as <I>Berlin</I>, but Reed fans will hear more than one reason to hop aboard Prudhomme's satellite of love as it orbits between the extremes of fantasy and failure. While it's premature to place a relative newcomer with the likes of Reed, Waits, or Cash, that's the canon he's firing. Bars should play <I>With the Hole Dug</I> during last call to complement the hope and dread of closing time: of either going home alone, or going home to find your lover gone, or waking up with someone new. In any case, the soundtrack will be appropriate. <I>--Cyndi Elliott</I>
