Susan Across the Ocean by The Silos - VitaMusik

ALBUM

After The Silos' self-titled 1990 album (their third release and major-label debut) didn't push them past cult-hero status, the band's creative core of frontman Walter Salas-Humara and guitarist Bob Rupe parted ways. Salas-Humara rebooted the band in Austin for 1992's Hasta la Victoria, followed two years later by this album. From the start, The Silos pursued a blend of raw rock 'n' roll and twangy Americana. Rough-edged rockers like "Upside Down Instead" and "Wanna Ride" lead the charge, and even mellower moments like "Shaking All Over the Place" are more serpentine alt-rock than Americana. Even when The Silos cover a Lucinda Williams tune, it's her most fiery rocker, "Changed the Locks." Speaking of covers, Salas-Humara and company get an unusual amount of mileage from other people's tunes here, offering incisive versions of Austin fixture Michael Hall's teenage-wasteland tale "Let's Take Some Drugs and Drive Around" and The Modern Lovers' classic anti-drug anthem "I'm Straight."
