Album Notes
Personnel: Pete Droge (vocals, guitar, E-bow, accordion, piano, Hammond B-3 organ); Brendan O'Brien (guitar, slide guitar, E-bow, harmonium, Wurlitzer piano, Hammond B-3 organ, bass, background vocals); Robert Cooper (bass); Gregg Williams (drums, background vocals); Elaine Summers (tambourine, cowbell, background vocals); Terry McMillan (percussion); Russ Fowler (background vocals).
Recorded at Southern Tracks and North Druid Hills Hampton Inn, Atlanta, Georgia.
Though he hails from the Pacific Northwest, Pete Droge neatly eschews the proto-punk grunge sound indigenous to the area and has a style that owes more to Tom Petty and Neil Young than to Nirvana and Mother Love Bone. A laid-back, mid-tempo album, NECKTIE SECOND covers the same rootsy ground that Droge's contemporaries the Jayhawks and Joe Henry do. Life on the road is a favored topic, whether its hopping on a "Northernbound Train" or roaming the countryside while clutching a Kerouac novel ("Straylin Street"). Droge's vocals range from a Dylanish drawl on "Sunspot Stopwatch" to a Petty-like twang on "So I Am Over You." Although the mood gets heavy on "Fourth Of July" (a tribute to a suicidal friend), things lighten up on the toe-tapping "Two Steppin' Monkey." Appropriately enough, Droge's twin themes of wanderlust and heartbreak wrap up NECKTIE SECOND on "Hampton Inn Room 306" which was recorded on a DAT machine and a cheap microphone, giving it a more effective ambience.
