Product Overview
Earl And The Losers were formed outta the blue and in-depth into the instrumental dementia in 2005 Bologna, Italy! During that time played only original instrumental surf tunes, plus a coupla Link Wray covers! After the summer alcoholidays the line up has changed and they started to introduce in their repertoire a buncha songs written in the last seven years by Maurizio, while style of the instrumental stuff turned into a more Italian Spaghetti Western style! At that time it became naturally to split the 2 projects leaving Earl And The Losers with their surf-spaghetti western repertoire and the newly born DeSoto with the new songs!
The influence of the songs coming from the 60s (The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Lee Hazlewood, etc.) but, above all, from the new scene of the American Alternative country (Giant Sand, Howe Gelb, Calexico, Uncle Tupelo). They love also traditional country stuff (Johnny Cash, Hank Williams), Blues (John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters etc.) and garage punk as well (The Sonics) until the seventies punkrock scene! A must is Sergio Leone and his Spaghetti Western movies, Ennio Morricones soundtracks, Italian B-Movies from the 60s and 70s (the ones Quentin Tarantino loves), they dig also David Lynch, Jim Jarmusch, Gus Van Sant and instrumental music for films (surf, western, rumba, calipso, Mexican stuff) played in a punky version!!!
The current line up is: Maurizio Earl Guidoni: guitar & vocals, Paolo Ballone: guitar & organ, Enrico Soverini: drums & Michele Rizzoli: drums.
Their debut full-length recorded in September 2007 in Lazzaro (Bologna), Italy at Sergione studios, mixed by Paolo Ballone and all songs written by Maurizio Earl Guidoni, arranged by Earl And The Losers. So, what we have here? The opening track John Waynes Got Blues is a high-energy instro with swirling organ that easily will blow your mind and Blue Canyon the perfect soundtrack for our unpracticable treks!!! Tucson without a doubt can be characterized kinda like an ode to the Arizona desert and more And what about midnight escapades in fuckin utopia? Escape has a moodyntrippy feeling, drive you through the velvet fog, The Mexican woos with Don Juan and the Shaman Indians, while Hot Rod & White Dust will get you back to the golden eras of the motor-madness! If you dig Lost Highway Im pretty sure that youll dig the next cool tune called Lost That Train, while the last two songs Hairy Woman & Disbanded spiritualized by Giant Sands cerebrum Howe Gelb! Overall, a pretty cool & enjoyable disc recommended for sure! Be sure to pick up this CD, plus a bottle of tequila and have a nice trip!
