Album Notes
USED RECORD PILE is a compilation culled from the albums CAMPER VAN CHADBOURNE, THE EDDIE CHATTERBOX DOUBLE TRIO LOVE ALBUM & EUGENE CHADBOURNE'S
69th SYMPHONY LIVE, as well as previously unreleased recordings.
Personnel includes: Eugene Chadbourne (vocals, guitar, banjo); David Lowrey
(vocals); Jonathan Segal (mandolin, violin); Bruce Ackley (soprano saxophone); Graham Connah (keyboards); Victor Krummenacher (bass); Chris Pedersen (drums).
To some, it might seem an odd match-up: the zany, political avant-garde guitarist Eugene Chadbourne teaming up with quirky alternative rockers Camper Van Beethoven. As it turns out, the marriage makes for some wonderful results. Both parties bring eclectic musical leanings and a sense of daffy irreverence to the mix. If you're looking for slickness, forget it; these cats make music with the rough edges intact. Among the cover tunes they affectionately skewer are King Crimson's "I Talk to the Wind," The Byrds' "Ballad of Easy Rider," and the country standard "There Stands the Glass." Comparisons can be made to Spike Jones and pre-1980 Frank Zappa--there's even a medley of early Zappa pieces here. Chadbourne continues his humorous assaults on US politics, with "Ollie's Playhouse" and "They Can Make it Rain Bombs." If you're tired of contemporary music that sounds too safe and predictable, USED RECORD PILE is the cure.
Editorial Reviews
3 out of 5 - Here's a marriage made in avant-garde heaven....With [Eugene] Chadbourne absolutely freaking out on his guitar and the steady support of the faithful young Campers, [the album] gives a good idea what all the fuss was about in the first place.
