Joe Pernice / Big Tobacco - RS-GRCD488

Import! Joe Pernice could whisper throughout an entire record and still keep you on the edge of your seat. Whether heard loudly through a state-of-the-art hi-fi in your bedroom or noisily through the blown speakers of your Pinto, his voice will grab you. One can forgive the schizophrenia of guises in his discography given the prolific and consistently great material that runs throughout it. Whether he operates as/with the “Scud Mountain Boys”http://www.subpop.com/artists/scud_mountain_boys/, the Pernice Brothers, Chappaquiddick Skyline, or now under his own name (although the artwork doesn’t display this), Pernice continues to unleash excellent songs as if they were erupting from a magical spring of classic songs.
