Biography

From the wild and wooly and weird Pacific Northwest, Mark Pickerel has quite the back story. He was the drummer in seminal grunge faves The Screaming Trees, and has played on albums by Mark Lanegan, Brandi Carlile, and some band from Aberdeen named ... er ... um ... Nirvana or something like that. He's toured with Neko Case and contributed to her track on the Hard-Headed Woman: A Celebration of… Read more in Amazon's Mark Pickerel Store

3.0 out of 5 stars A Sparkling Gloom, February 20, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Snake in the Radio (Audio CD)
There are about equal doses of Chris Isaac and Lee Hazelwood flavoring the overall sound and mood of "Snake in the Radio" by Mark Pickerel and His Praying Hands. The music reminds me of Isaac's, the singing hints at the late Hazelwood's style. The overall sound is either a hazy, slow-motion blend of alt-country and rock or a limber sprint from something spooky and unexpected.

There is plenty of guitar--electric, acoustic, pedal steel, slide--a bit of mandolin, keyboards, and drums that render the thick atmosphere nearly unbearable in large doses, creating a sparkling gloom. I find the up-tempo tracks easier to listen to but the dirge-like slow songs harder to break free from.

Apparently, Mr. Pickerel got here by way of being a veteran of the Seattle grunge scene as he played drums for Screaming Trees and others from that genre. That's quite a journey considering what he has created here. Overall, "Snake in the Radio" is an interesting album but there's only so much darkness I can absorb at once.
