"CHR.*ST YOU KNOW -IT Al
by Gary Thornbio4Siti
'Yer' Album is one of the best
albums to be released in: quite a
while. The sound is new and can
not be given a simple label as to
what type of music it is. Best of
all the JanieS Gang comes from
nearby Cleveland. and if enough
interest cdirld be generated in the
group, - they C;ould possibly be
brought to perforin here. Members
of John Mayan's group have ac
claimed Joe 'Walsh -as being the
finest guitarist they've encount
ered Aile on tour in the U. S.
Haing seen the James Gang live
many times .1 can only agree. By
no means in the background is
Tom Kriss who provides a driving
bass with all the sound of the now
bass player and Jim Po - 3c who is
a fantastic drum Mer. MY com
ments on the material in this al
bum cannot -even attempt to do
the group justice, but comment
I will.
A great portion of the material
bas been written by Joe Walsh
and he has demonstrated a lot, of
talent on this' album. Side one be
gins aptirobrirafely with inticiduc
lion which I'll give a 50, cause its
hard to dance to. Take A Look
Around' has Joe Walsh on the key
boards and he's great. The middle
organ part is beautiful and when
Joe's guitar through an echoplex
breaks in with a soundly structur
ed background the result is really
baunting. The end of the song is
a good-thing ending but the past
can't be forgdtten. Jim Fox ends
with some real good drum work.
Funk N. 48 combines the lead and
bass to . - form what is really . two
leads. This cut shOws Toni Kriss's
outstanding ability -to move. The
-harmony ) singing also makes this
an interesting arrangement. The
introduction to Bluebird is written
and performed on piano by Jim
Fox and shows he's more than a
drummer. Bluebird is an old Steve
Stills tune and is rearranged here.
It's dedicated to the Springfield
,and all' their descendants. Here
again is Joe's fantastic guitars at
work, all 11,3'86 of them. The last
cut on side one is perhaps the best
example of the . James . Gang live.
The song is a Yardbirds song - and
contains' some remarkable solo
Work by each of th 6 artists. It
must be felt to liefiev.

the most beautiful song on the
album. The lyrics in their simpli
city are really heavy. Joe Walsh's
guitar is superb and the strings in
the backgrOund give the song a
really soft touch. I Don't Have' The
Time was previously released as a
single and features a driving bass,
with interesting lyrics and once
again a fantastic lead. Wrapcity
In English .is Joe Walsh on piano

only complaint about this song is
that it isn't kinger. Fred is cer
tainly very straaaaaang. The

they can be brought here to per

Press Release
SDS National Headquarters
I'73a Massachusetts Avenue
Boston, Btais. 02115 (611) 267-6152
On Wednesday, October 1, a group of provocateurs claiming to
be from SDS attacked students and teachers at Boston English High
School. The week before, this same gang had attacked campus
workers at Harvard i s Center for International Affairs. Similar - in
cidents have occurred in other parts of the country. In Detroit, nine
women broke into an exam at McComb Community College declar
ing that it was over—and the students should listen to them. When
two students got up to leave, they were attacked with karate. These
actions were all the work of a groin P- Of police-agents and hate-the
people lunatics who walked out of SDS 'at the June convention be
cause their ideas had been rejected. Led nationally by Mark Rudd,
this gang calling itself "SDS" and -"Revolutionary Youth" has ab
solutely nothing to do with SDS! They've been running all around
the country attacking the people! No SDS chapter supportS them!
ConclltioriS in schools around the country are rotten: Many high
school students have rebelled, fighing to change things. Working
people face steadily deteriorating conditions, and are fighting back
harder and harder, as witnessed by the tremendous increase. in
Stiikes and wilddats over the last few Years. The bankers -and big,
business• men who run - the- country -, are using Rudd's , clicjue . for two
purposes. •First, to divert _people so that they won't fight back any-
Smith is going to make it com
mercially, they play heavy, and
generally empty music, it's sim
ple • and has a beat, the only
thing worth while in the
. group
is Gayle McCormack, the- chick
singer. Gayle has the best hard
rock voice of any chick I've ever
heard (I classify Janis Joplin,
Tracey-Nelson, and Tina Turner
as blues singers), she turns the
Shirelles old hit, Baby It's You,
into a three minute orgasm. List
en to- her moan out the last
chorus of I Just Want to Make.
Love To You. where she changes
the wording to "Ah just wanna
GET IT ONNN WITH YOU"!
it's enough to get
• an entire Fill
more East audience quite hoiny.
Gayle sings on three other num
bers, they make the album worth
while.
The .niale singer is not credit
ed, probably for his own pro
teCtion,, he is the opposite of
Cory Wells, where Wells is his
trionic., the Smith cat sings with
all the guts of a drag queen.
The frighteningly bland job done
on 'Silto Do You Love shouldn't
be: heard until you've had sever
al tumblers of wine, it's that
bad. The rest of the songs are
mostly Rolling Stone numbers,
done with all the feeling of say,
a Vanilla Fudge (Smith is that
bad).
The IVICS is a bad group too,
they can't play, Rob Tyner can't
sing, but they play so loud and
with so much emotion you can't
help but dig them.
I have a theory that the best
way to bring about revolution
(I'll say cultural) is to live as if
the revolution has happened, and,
you end up creating your own
scene.
The Beatles new trend of back
to .hard rock demonstrates this;
as does Nashville Skylin'e, the
Beatles and Dylan have trans
cended progression for content

they'll be there. The MCS claith

to hold the same theory, their
manager, John Sinclair, got ten
years for pretending the revolu
tion had come, and grass was
legalized. Sinclair was holding
two joints, ten years for that?
Murderers have gotten off with
lass, god bless law and ordure.
At any rate; the MCS try, but
their revolution is essentially
chaotic, and so , is their music,
there's nothing catchy, there's
nothing that sticks with you, but
every song has such a high ener
gy- level it's exhilarating to hear
this is ballsy and really heavy
Music, when Chuck Berry sang
about "I need a shot of Rythm

of catharthis and strength that
the MCS produce, by sheer ener
gy.
