a brilliant artist -a brilliant album.......2007-07-17

This album has completely touched me. Emerson was incredible as the lead of Tonic, but his solo CD outshines all the rest. To every true music lover out there- take some time and listen to this incredible album! I promise you won't be let down!

Amazon.com essential recording

Working in what was not then called an "unplugged" format, Stewart mixed acoustic guitars, mandolin, and piano with a hard-rock attitude to create a distinctive sound that seems as fresh today as ever. Building on the success and innovations of The Rod Stewart Album, Gasoline Alley contains unfettered, laddish takes on Bobby Womack's "It's All Over Now" and the bluesy "Cut Across Shorty," plus a definitive version of Bob Dylan's "Only a Hobo" and the brilliant, nostalgic title track, a Stewart original. The singer is very near the top of his game here. --Daniel Durchholz

Then was then, now is now.......2007-03-29

Hard to believe the same clown still plonk singing today was so poignant 30+ years ago. While not his best early effort (see Rod Stewart Album and every Picture Tells A Story--each a 5-star effort), this is a worthy addition to the early Rod Stewart Holy Trinity.

Rod's Best Work.......2006-08-10

Rod Stewart's musical career has been evaluated at both ends of the spectrum. One aspect of his talent that has been overlooked has been his ability as a writer. His earlier works with the Faces and his early solo efforts feature great rock music with many of the titles written by Stewart or in collaboration with mates like Ronnie Wood and Ronnie Lane.
Gasoline Alley is a perfect example with a title cut that sets the tone for some of his best work.
Stewart has also consistently maintained the knack for taking songs written by others and adapting them to his style. It's All Over Now, written by Bobby and Shirley Jean Womack is a classic Rod Stewart song. Even Country Comfort, written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, benefits in the direction Stewart takes it.
Gasoline Alley re-emerged after Stewart's Unplugged And Seated CD included a couple tunes from the album. It's worthy of acclaim.

good boy gone bad.......2005-01-13

Believe it or not, at one time Rod Stewart was one of us. A quick glance at the songwriting credits for this, Stewart's second 'solo' effort, reveal where Rod's head was at: covers of Bobby & Shirley Womack's 'It's All Over Now' (more famously, and somewhat more enjoyably covered by The Rolling Stones), Bob Dylan's 'Only a Hobo', Elton John and Bernie Taupin's 'Country Comforts', and Steve Marriott & Ronnie Lane's 'My Way of Giving'. I've tried to keep my record collection pure of disco, and with composers such as these I don't believe anyone can accuse me of harboring anything as defiling as 'Hot Legs' or 'Do Ya' Think I'm Sexy?'. Unfortunately for me, each time I hear Rod's voice, a bit of the 'Hot Legs' overplay corrupts my capacity to concentrate on his earlier (and better) sensibilities. Rod's raspy vocal cords made him one of rock's premier vocalists before career decisions became of more immediate concern than the art. His defection to 'the other side' was perhaps the most disconcerting loss of the era.

Nevertheless, from his debut 'Rod Stewart Album' through his epic 'Every Picture Tells a Story' and it's sequel, 'Never a Dull Moment', Stewart left behind a fine legacy. 'Gasoline Alley' is Rod's second 'solo' effort, and while it failed to spawn even one single, it is a consistantly fine production. In fact, since it generated absolutely no Top 40 attention, the songs on this disc have managed to escaped the dred overplay that has afflicted some Stewart numbers, most notably 'Maggie May', and even 'You Wear It Well'.

At first glance the disc appears weighted toward more subdued numbers, such as the lilting 'Only a Hobo' and the gentle strains of 'Country Comforts', and in sheer numbers the disc is fairly reserved, especially toward the end when two Stewart compositions, 'Lady Day' and 'Jo's Lament' emerge. But the three longest songs on the disc are all rockers, and they are wisely distributed on tracks two, six and nine. 'It's All Over Now', 'Cut Across Shorty', and 'You're My Girl' consume nearly eighteen minutes of the disc's 41 minute running time, and 'My Way of Giving' is no slouch either. It predictably possesses an upbeat pop sound (reminiscent of Rod's previous gig with The Small Faces) since it was written by Marriott and bassist Ronnie Lane.

Here and there we are enticed by tell-tale sounds that allude to the emerging Stewart epic, 'Every Picture Tells a Story'. The fine back-home opener, 'Gasoline Alley', possesses a mandolin that harkens to 'Mandolin Wind', and 'Cut Across Shorty' and 'You're My Girl' feature sharp guitar riffs that would fuel similar Stewart classics such as his cover of the Temptation's 'I'm Losing You'.

The only disappointing aspect of this particular disc is that the rework didn't add any bonus tracks or informational material to the package... you get only what you got in 1970 with the original vinyl release. Weren't there any other tracks sitting in the vault from this session that ended up on the editing floor, or interesting anecdotes from the contributing artist's that could spice this up a bit? Many people buying this CD today also purchased the recordings on vinyl and cassette. We deserve a few more crumbs from the table.

Rod Stewart's Second Album Is Great.......2004-12-21

GASOLINE ALLEY is Rod Stewart's second great album in a row. From the opening title track, which pays homage to his roots, to the Small Faces' "My Way Of Giving", to Bobby Womack's "It's All Over Now" and Bob Dylan's "Only A Hobo", this album shows Stewart as a working-class rocker, equally at home with the blues/R&B/soul styles of Memphis, Chicago, Texas, St. Louis, Muscle Shoals, and Detroit, and with American and British Isles folk music. All of his first four albums are worth getting at once, along with THE MERCURY ANTHOLOGY, ATLANTIC CROSSING, A NIGHT ON THE TOWN, FOOTLOOSE & FANCY FREE, TONIGHT I'M YOURS, VAGABOND HEART, UNPLUGGED...AND SEATED, SPANNER IN THE WORKS, and WHEN WE WERE THE NEW BOYS- preferably all at once.

They rock........2007-06-13

When I heard them for the first time it was inside a video game called Indigo Prophecy. And I thought it was nickelback at first but when I saw the name I knew I had to find this album. My favorite tracks is Say Goodbye, Santa Monica and Since you've been gone. This is a CD I recommend to anyone that has the need to jam to some good rock music.

memories.......2007-05-10

I loved this cd as I "grew up" in Calif and it reminds me of much.
Love the words and the music.

Gasoline is HOT!.......2006-11-10

Theory of a Deadman is one of those bands that I hope never gets HUGE! I want them all to myself. Gasoline has songs full of the emotions that we have all felt too often, but never had the balls to show. Thank you to Tyler and the boys for saying the things that we want to, but don't. This CD Rocks!!!!!!!!

Amazon.com essential recording

Before this album, Canadian singer/songwriter Fred Eaglesmith had been something of a folkie, but on Lipstick, Lies & Gasoline, he rocks out, making most cuts as much about rhythm as anything else. The opening "Seven Shells" is almost all rhythm--slow, insistent and creepingly malevolent. Whether singing about relationships that either fade away (the pathetic "Drinking Too Much") or explode into violence, Eaglesmith's typically dark themes are well suited by these new arrangements, so even when his character studies are too broad to be revealing ("Time To Get A Gun"), or when his insights are banal ("Alcohol and Pills"), their pulsing musical settings still compel. --David Cantwell

Customer Reviews:

This Album is That Good........2006-05-26

There's a reason all of the other reviewers have rated this album so highly. It is that good.

Fred may be the best little known singer/songwriter out there. He's certainly the best I've heard. For most of this album Fred explores lives and loves that just haven't worked out--or in the case of the haunting Seven Shells, won't work out. The downside of everyday existence is presented with compassion, humor and underneath it all, a faint trace of optimism.

An all-time great.......2003-03-31

Fred's previous releases like "Drive-In Movie(his best),"Things is Changin" and "Paradise Motel",to name a few, are considered classics by more than a few people. This disc is no different.A perfect mix of roots-rock,country and country/folk; the thing that distinguishes Fred from the other top-level artist is that this guy's songwriting is a step above most of 'em. What you get here is music that is not only timeless, but it hits you square between the eyes with their brutal honesty and heartbreaking melodies. He also cracks you up with his twisted sense of humor and he certainly has a way with words. This guy's in my top 3 in terms of favourite artists. A real maverick.

Great stories from a great storyteller.......2001-09-27

Like a great story a great song communicates something about it's subject that strikes a chord in the reader or listener. The best songwriters are also great storytellers. In "Lipstick, Lies, and Gasoline" Fred Eaglesmith tells some great stories.

Fred's songs range in style from country to rock, with some folk thrown into the mix. "Drinking too Much" is a duet with Lynn Miles in the tradition of George Jones and Tammy Wynette while in "Thinking" Eaglesmith sounds like J.J. Cale.

"Alcohol & Pills" is a song about famous singers of the past (Hank Williams, Janis Joplin, Gram Parsons). "But fame doesn't take away the pain/it just pays the bills/and you wind up on alcohol and pills".

In "105", his ode to the thrill of speed Fred sings "I like to drive at a hundred and five/It's just how fast I gotta go/ I got the gears and I got the motor/ Ain't no reason to go slow"

Get this CD for some great songs, and some great stories.

You Must Hear This CD.......2000-10-21

If you have any interest at all in Folk, Country, or Rock music you need to hear this CD. Imagine Springsteen channelling Hank Williams. Fred Eaglesmith is the best thing that has happened to music in a couple years.

Listen to the CD and then see him live. It will change your life.

Dirt Road Driving Music.......2000-10-10

I always toss on this CD when I'm driving as fast as I can to get out of the city, out to where the wide open spaces and wilderness drown out the buzz of people all around me. This is driving music, and Fred Eaglesmith is a songwriter that knows what it must feel like to be on the road, and how good it feels to be leaving somewhere to get on the open road. From the picture on the back, of Fred and his band standing outside of their beat up tour bus, to the rumbling songs that

make up this disc, Fred is a guy that knows about moving on.

The opener 'Seven Shells' brings to life the visions of a western movie, then '105' opens up the disc with the refrain "I love to drive at 105, it's just how fast I got to go...", Amen to that Fred.

The powerful collection of songs on this disc, like "Thinking", "Pontiac", "Time to get a Gun" and "Water in the Fuel" are classic roots/country/road songs in the great North American tradition.

See Fred live, if you can, because that's where he really shines. If he's not playing anywhere nearby, get in that car and drive, brother...what have you got to lose besides a few miles and a few demons?

The Suicide Machines return to form........2005-06-14

With their 5th studio album, TSM return to their ska-core roots we all came to love them for. By all means, I'm not saying that the previous two albums were bad, because they showed great variety, but "A Match and Some Gasoline" was exactly what I expected out of The Suicide Machines at this point in their wonderful career. As all TSM CDs are, this is a very short album, so it is very easy to sit down and listen to it all together. The Suicide Machines still throw a little bit of experimental tracks on the album, such as "One more Time", whcih is really groovy and catchy, and "The Change", which sounds kind of poppy. However, this is mainly classic Suicide Machines, and I've been playing it ever since I bought it two years ago. Here are some of my favorite tracks on the CD :

1. Burning In The Aftermath - Very provocative lyrics, but even more provocative music. This song is probably the heaviest on the CD, but I love it. A great opener.
4. High Anxiety - A majorly catchy tune. This song will be stuck in your head for days. My favorite part about this song would have to be the bridge.
5. Your Silence - Not only my favorite song on the CD, but one of my favorite songs of ALL TIME. The introduction of this song is awesome, with Ryan banging on his toms, then the cymbals kick in with Dan. The drum break is pretty cool, along with the section where Jay screams at the top of his lungs, "The world is spinning out of control!!!"
8. One More Time - As i mentioned earlier, an experimental track, but it's one of the catchiest songs I've ever heard. It talks about child abuse, and how the nation is doing nothing about it.
9. Beat My Head Against The Wall - This song just may have you beating your head against the wall. The first time I heard this track I felt like going out and running 10 miles. A Non-stop, in-your-face trashing of a song.

So, if you were disappointed in the good old Suicide Machines because of the previous two albums, set aside your differences with your head and pick this one up. Simply put, it's great music, with a kick! Thank you for your time.

Must Have CD!.......2005-04-24

The Machines have done it again; this CD rocks and if you don't own a copy you need to buy one. Easily one of the finest works by these Detroit, MI based rockers.

A decent break from the ordinary.......2005-04-05

I am not one to listen to alot of punk rock, so it was definately something different when I decided to buy this CD, but their songs on Tony Hawk's Underground 2 had me hooked. I have to say, besides being really short, this album is really good. I love how unlike some bands, The Suicide Machines vary their songs from track to track so they all don't sound the same.

1.Burning in the Aftermath: A good opening song, one of the many fast and hard ones. 8/10
2.Did you ever get the Feeling of Dread?: Instantly fell in love with this song, it's so catchy and has amazing lyrics. 9/10
3.Keep it a Crime: Meh... not my favorite, it's so short and maybe actually a little too fast, since I have no idea what they're saying unless I have the lyrics next to me. 6/10
4.High Anxiety: The first song I heard on Tony Hawk's Underground 2, great melodic catchy punk song. 8/10
5.Your Silence: The other song I heard before I bought the CD, love the fast verses and the vocals are awesome. 9/10
6.The Change: Not a bad song, it's catchy, more on the punk side. I'm not sure why you'd wanna make a son about change, but whatever works for them. 7/10
7.Invisible Government: Probably my least favorite track, it's got the vocals but they sorta drag on until the chorus, which isn't that good either, plus the song's not even a minute long. 5/10
8.One More Time: I've heard this song called poppy alot, but to be it doesn't seem any more poppy than High Anxiety, I actually like it. 8/10
9.Beat my Head Against the Wall: AWESOME song, probably second best on the CD. 10/10
10.Seized Up: Best song on the CD, it stands out so much from the other tracks in my opinion, but it's still fast and catchy and Suicide Machines, an amazing track. 10/10
11.Split the Time: Pretty good song, faster but on the softer side, which is good because the CD wouldn't be too good if it had all screaming songs like 5 and 9. 7/10
12.Koleidascope: Not a bad song, nothing too special about it though, nothing to really stand out. 6/10
13.Politics of Humanity: A strange track, probably because it had the worst verses, but the best chorus, so it evens out in the end. It could have been alot better if they actually sang the verses instead of just... said them. 6/10
14.Acoustic Track: I love the bonus song, I've had times where I've listened to it three or four times, it's just so good. 9/10

So that's it, and since this is my first album from the band, I dunno how they've changed and what not, but I would reccomend the CD anyway to anyone who listens to punk or even people that don't, I mean this is my first punk CD, and I love it.

Something Good For Everyone!.......2004-11-29

I'm a casual fan of the Suicide Machines. I have this album along with Battle Hyms but I'm going to get DBD as soon as possible. Battle Hyms is superior to this album but this cd is still great. Basically this cd is good if you like ska punk or hardcore. It is a great mix of different types of music but it is only about a half hour long, still a great album for anyone.

Burning In The Aftermath- surprising, punk at its best. 9/10
Did You Every Get The Feeling Of Dread- Great ska feel. 7/10
Keep It A Crime- Best lyrics ever!! This song is furius. 9/10
High Anxiety- The catchies song on the cd, a softer song. 6/10
Your Silence- Best on the album, Pumps you up really good! 10/10
The Change- A decent ska-pop song. 6/10
Invisible Goverment- Fast,Furios, and hardcore. Brilliant! 8/10
One More Time- Another pop song, doesn't fit the cd. 4/10
Beat My Head Against The Wall- Great vocals! Blew me away. 8/10
Seized Up- A long song but very good, more of a punk song. 7/10
Split The Time- I liked it but hard to describe. 6/10
Kaliedescope- 2nd best on the cd, punk and a cool feel. 10/10
Politics Of Humanity- Good way to rap up a great album! 8/10

There are no real bad songs on this album but when I listen to this some songs just don't feel like they fit in. A decent effert and I'm looking forward to buying more albums for the Suicide Machines.

Good Stuff!.......2003-12-25

The Suicide Machines kick some major ass, but their last two cds were not too good. Not many cds can live up to ska-punk goodness of destruction by definition, but this is probably their second best cd. Battle Hymns was good, but on this cd, they come out with a new style they haven't really tried before: hardcore. Listen to Burning in the Aftermath and Your Silence to see what I mean. Probably the most notable change is that the ska is back! The cd mostly switches off between hardcore punk tracks like Beat My Head Against The Wall and ska tracks like Split The Time. The ska may not be as good as it was in the past, but it is still a relief to have it back. Pretty much everything here is good, but you wanna skip track #8. It blows. Other than that, slip on your skankin shoes, cause thats what you'll be doing when you listen to this album.

A gem and what a fantasticly thoughtful title for an album.......2007-04-14

Delighted to have found this album earlier today (Tower Records, Wicklow Street). Was looking for something totally new. For me Hold a Match for a Gasoline World is such a discovery. Honey gold, velvet edged vocals mixed with absolutely georgeous musical arrangements. Full of subtle gentley emotive hypnotic songs. Who does Luke Temple sound like? Paul Simon, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake (though not depressing)Neil Young even? It doesnt matter really, although these comparisons do have merit, Luke Temple just has a really wonderful voice. If you like any of the above mentioned singers though why not give it a try perhaps you too will discover it's beauty.

A Nice Change of Pace.......2005-07-24

I first heard Luke Temple this past year when he came to my school to open for Death Cab for Cutie. I immediately bought the Luke Temple EP from the merch booth (he signed it for me, too. Class act all the way). 3 of the tracks from that EP are on Hold a Match, and I was happy to find out that the rest of the songs on the CD hold up to their quality. I'm more of a Queens of the Stone Age/Foo Fighters kind of guy, but this is extremely well-written and performed music. Folky, but with an indie sort of vibe to it. A great change of pace from what's out there today. Don't write it off if you don't happen to be a fan of either of those genres-- he'll convert you.

Another reason it is grand to work for Starbucks!.......2005-07-20

Luke Temple's music caught my ear while I was making caramel frappuccinos for a gang of My Chemical Romance sheep. The song was "Someone, Somewhere," and I was immediately captivated. Ironically, these fashioncore preteens called the music unbearable, which further validated my interest in Temple's sound. His is a fresh sound very much influenced by Simon and Drake, but I also feel he's on the same musical wavelength as the brilliant Sondre Lerche, albeit a more stripped down one. Luke Temple is true talent and this disc should not be ignored.

Timeless Music.......2005-04-25

His music is timeless. His songwriting skills could be likened to Elliott Smith, The Beatles, Nick Drake, Sufjan Stevens, but his melodies are unlike any other. He has a perfect vocal pitch and uses his guitar as a great accompaniment to that delicate but virtuosic voice.
I highly recommend this album to anyone.

More Than I Expected.......2007-01-10

I picked up a copy of this at my Best Buy yesterday and I thought, is this a joke? So, I bought it thinking whats the worst, if I don't like it I'll sell it on ebay. When I got home, I popped it into my stereo and couldn't believe it. The songs were sick! I especially loved Spoonman and I Am the Highway. Its like wedding music if you want to add a little edge to when someone walks down the aisle. At my brothers wedding this past Sunday (this isn't a lie) I walked down to Boulevard of Broken Dreams (I'm 16 what can I say? I thought it'd be cool) The orchestra played the song on trumpets and violins and it sounded awesome!! If I couldve been given another chance to pick a song, it'd be a heavy debate between Blvd. and I am the Highway. Anyway, if you like rock, and you would like to hear how Audioslave or Soundgarden wouldve turned out had Tom Morello or Kim Thayil played violin instead of guitars, this album is definitly for you. If your just a fan of the two bands and think itd be cool to hear the two bands played through different (and really cool sounding) instruments, definitly pick this up.

Not For Your Average Rock Fan.......2006-10-07

In looking at other reviews, I can only wonder how big of fans of Audioslave these people are. I mean, I first heard "What You Are" and I fell in love with the band. That being said, if you buy this expecting to hear the same sound, then you need to re-read the title of the CD: "The STRING QUARTET Tribute to Audioslave". This is not for your average rock fan. This is for the people who love Audioslave and Soundgarden (no RATM songs here, though it would have been very interesting if they tried to pull one off) and can appreciate this kind of music. People need to keep in mind that this is not Audioslave nor Soundgarden playing these songs. It's violins and cellos and such. End rant.

Now that that's out of the way, I can say, as a HUGE fan of Audioslave that I love this CD. Sometimes it's good to listen to music that's a little more mellow, music that doesn't involve banging drums and wailing guitars. So if you love Audioslave and Soundgarden and want some music to unwind to, this might be for you. But to avoid reviews like those before this one, I would HIGHLY SUGGEST previewing the music first. (Whodathunkit?!) I did and I liked what I heard.

I listen to music when I do homework; it's become almost necessary for me. I can't concentrate 100% if it's something I can bang my head to, so I usually pick out some slower, softer songs to help me get through the work. I see this as the best of both worlds. I can listen to softer music and be reminded of how much I love this band.

This tribute, however, is not perfect (despite that I've given it five stars). I just think there are some songs that could have been done better. While some of the bands' more popular songs ("Like a Stone", "Black Hole Sun") are pulled off excellently, some others just sound... a little off. Nevertheless, it's still well-played.

Again, for the true fans only.

What Did I Miss?.......2005-03-28

I read some of the other reviews here and I do not understand where these losers are getting their information.... It ain't from listening to this CD ... That's for damn sure!!! I bought this CD, even though I thought it was going to SUCK based on the reviews here... Well ... It definately doesn't suck... It isn't bad ... & guess what .... I F*&KIn' LOVE IT!!! I think it totally rocks!!! Matt Cameron would LOVE this CD!!!

Don't listen to the reviewers who say this sucks because it DEFINATELY does not suck!!!

I swear to God that I was going to throw this thing in the trash based on what I read here and after I listened to it I ain't throwing nothing away... I love it and you will too.

I don't think that Geoffrey Holtby, Alan Karna "Trashman Al", or Brian P. Harris "Da_VooDooChild" even listened to the CD. I think they are gay or they are deaf idiots with no brains whatsoever.

What a disgrace!!!.......2005-01-29

I gave it a chance but I couldn't even finish the CD, it was so godawful. The only saving grace to this CD was that this so-called "classical" take on good rock and roll was almost humorous. Like the retarded renditions of pop songs, that some sketch comedies use, in order to poke a little fun at pop culture.

Pure shlock that is not as advertised... I'm talking MIDI.......2004-11-25

A while back, I picked up the String Quartet tribute to Evanescense. I didn't think it was the greatest CD ever, but I thought it was pretty good. I'm into stuff like that, so when I saw the "string quartet" tribute to Audioslave, I decided to pick it up.

Wow, was that a mistake! I mean, there's plenty of bad CDs out there that I've bought in the past... but I've never written to the people behind it before...this time I did! Other bad CDs were at least as advertised. But HOW can you call it a "String Quartet" tribut when there ISN'T A STRING QUARTET involved???

That's right people, this installment of the "string quartet" tributes does not even HAVE a STRING QUARTET!!!!!!!! Wheter you like audioslave, soundgarden, classical music, or any of the above, this album is a TRAVESTY.

This album consists of one guy with some crappy looped MIDI music (albeit wavetable), and another guy with a violin playing over it!!!!! Not only is the music crappy, but it's false advertising! DON'T BUY THIS ALBUM!!! DON'T PAY FOR MIDI MUSIC!!! Vitamin records is trying to make a quick buck off this one.

I don't know how anyone could think this is good. If you think this is anything close to classical music, you're sadly mistaken. Thanks to this album, I will make sure to NEVER pick up another string quartet album again. You would be much better off to pick up some Apocalyptica.
