5 out of 5 stars Refreshing, original twist on country roots blues........1999-09-19

Ha! I haven't even heard the recording, but I caught their act at the San Diego Street Scene, and I'm going to scoop up this CD on my next purchase. If you enjoyed "discovering" Steve Earle, get in on this now.

5 out of 5 stars Halford 's KEROSENE showcases his intuitive songwriting ........1999-06-06

Halford blends traditional blues, roots rock and grind'em out rock'n'roll into a one-two punch on KEROSENE. Each song showcases his superb, intuitive songwriting abilities. Halford writes the likes of James McMurtry and Springsteen into a corner as he grapples with age-old emotional conflicts ("Bad Luck", "Beauty In You", "Pablo And Me"), instilling new twists on life's oldest struggles.

Halford employs a Louisiana-flavored musical style on "A Thousand Times", reminiscent of the Sub-Dudes, as he weaves a "love-gone-south" story. Chops are humid, nostalgic and languid, as he describes his darkest moments.."bloodshot dreary eyes" weeping about his lost love. Perfect for those summertime blues.

Halford's respect for the Delta blues kings-specifically Robert Johnson- can be heard in his haunting slide guitar work on "On A Roll," which he tempers with a hard, visceral bass and tasty organ grounding to form the musical backdrop. Like in the land of CREEM, he uses just a few instruments to bang out an infectious, slow dance groove.
