Blast From The Past, August 12, 2008
This review is from: No Lie (Audio CD)
Couldn't believe it when I found this on Amazon. Little Diesel was the house band for R J Reynolds High School in 1974. They played the RJR Follies and looked a little goofy with their capes and Townsend-type windmills. I always remembered them sucking until I heard this recording. Now, I know that they were just ahead of their time. Punk before Punk was in. The vocals on this recording are a little weak due to the recording limitations but the rest sounds great. The best cut is Kissy Boys, an original. The members have gone on to semi-success. The best known was Holsapple, who by-the-way smoke bombed the library right before graduation, played with REM on a MTV unplugged and a couple of their albums. Mitch Easter produced REM's Murmur and helped form their sound. The most skillful sound on this album is Will Rigby's drums. Yep, blast from the past. The most eclectic will like this.
