REVIEW
by Robert L. Doerschuk/ALLMUSIC
With each step he takes past his years as frontman to the J. Geils Band, Peter Wolf builds on his legacy as a solo artist of remarkable distinction. Bits of the jive caricature of his early years surface on Sleepless, especially when reunited with his old running buddies Keith Richards and Magic Dick on "Too Close Together," but most of the album documents much more skillful and sensitive approaches to interpretation. In fact, in his ability to slide from singing to a spoken word or two and back again, Wolf affirms his mastery of the Bob Dylan method for bringing a lyric to life. The musical settings throughout Sleepless vary dramatically, from roadhouse country on the highway epic "Nothing but the Wheel" through Mexican romanticism on "Oh Marianne" and to raw blues with a Tom Waits edge on "Homework." In each of these, Wolf's voice, recorded bone dry and boosted high in the mix, flawlessly nails the feel; on one track, the Stax-flavored ballad "A Lot of Good Ones Gone," his performance -- reflective, understated, delicately phrased, and soulful -- compares favorably to some of Van Morrison's best work. It is, in other words, about as good as a performance can be in this genre.

REVIEW
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine/ALLMUSIC
All the Young Dudes actually brought Mott the Hoople success, but you wouldn't know that from its sequel, Mott. Ian Hunter's songs are a set of road tales fraught with exhaustion, disillusionment, and dashed dreams, all told with a wry sense of humor so evident on Mott's earlier work. This is no ordinary road album where a band whines about the perils of traveling -- it's more of a wry commentary on rock & roll itself, which, as Hunter notes, is a "loser's game." Mott doesn't sound that way, though -- it's as winning and infectious as rock & roll gets. Even with the undercurrents of ironic despair and restrained hostility, this is a fun record (partially because of that despair and hostility, of course). This sounds better, looser, than All the Young Dudes, as the band jives through "All the Way from Memphis" and "Honaloochie Boogie," beats the living hell outta "Violence," swaggers on "Whizz Kid," and simply drives it home on "Drivin' Sister." Apart from the New York Dolls (who, after all, were in a league of their own), glam never sounds as rock as it does here. To top it all off, Hunter writes the best lament for rock ever with "Ballad of Mott the Hoople," a song that conveys just how heartbreaking rock & roll is for the average band. If that wasn't enough, he trumps that song with the closer "I Wish I Was Your Mother," a peerless breakup song that still surprises, even after it's familiar. It's a graceful, unexpected way to close a record that stands as one of the best of its era.

REVIEW
by Mark Deming/ALLMUSIC
The debut album from Diamond Rugs started out as a solo project from John
McCauley of Deer Tick, but after he recruited a curious but intriguing
lineup of musicians and they started playing together in the studio, he
found out he wasn't the only one on hand with ideas for songs. After
listening to the album, it's not hard to imagine that this revelation was
prompted by a certain amount of liquid refreshment; most of the best and
most enjoyable songs on Diamond Rugs involve getting drunk, and the
playing has the loose and loopy feel of a jam session where the players
were up for just about anything after a few beers. The musicians on
Diamond Rugs are good enough to make these performances sound potent and
emphatic, with Ian Saint Pe of the Black Lips and Hardy Morris of Dead
Confederate on guitars, Steve Berlin of Los Lobos on sax and keys, Robbie
Crowell of Deer Tick on bass, and Bryan Dufresne of Six Finger Satellite
behind the drums. The songs have a ragged swagger that lurks somewhere
between a Stones tribute act and the second-best garage band in town, and
this ad hoc group tears into their makeshift tunes with commendable
vigor, if a sometimes shaky grasp. In the supergroup stakes, Diamond Rugs
most clearly recall Golden Smog in the way the songs reflects the
personalities of the individual members and feel more like a boozy hoot
than an attempt to fashion a new body of "serious" work. If this isn't as
good as Golden Smog's small body of work, one could reasonably argue that
outside of Steve Berlin, no one in Diamond Rugs has made a record as good
as Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Hollywood Town Hall, or Hang Time, all of which
have ties to the Golden Smog brand. Still, Diamond Rugs is a lot more fun
and less self-conscious than what Deer Tick usually delivers, and these
guys might do well to pony up for a couple cases of beer and give this
another try, though no one involved is advised to give up their other
gigs yet.

REVIEW
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine/ALLMUSIC
Peter Wolf lost his mainstream audience long before he released Fool's Parade in the fall of 1998. By the time the album hit the stores, it had been ten years since he had graced the Top 40, when "Come as You Are" reached number 15. To his credit, Wolf realized he no longer was a pop star, so he decided to continue in the vein of his comeback record, 1996's Long Line. Which is to say, Fool's Parade is a collection of rock & roll, R&B, blues and soul, all delivered with professional showmanship from Wolf, along with a surplus of true heart and passion. It's a mature album in the best sense of the word -- it's clear that Wolf has lived the life he sings about, and he exhibits a sense of craft that only veterans can convey. Following the equally accomplished Long Line, Fool's Parade is proof that veteran rockers need not be washed up or written off, even if they are no longer playing to stadium-sized crowds.

REVIEW
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine/Allmusic
Just at the moment Mott the Hoople were calling it a day, David Bowie swooped in and convinced them to stick around. Bowie spearheaded an image makeover, urging them to glam themselves up. He gave them a surefire hit with "All the Young Dudes," had them cover his idol's "Sweet Jane," and produced All the Young Dudes, the album that was designed to make them stars. Lo and behold, it did, which is as much a testament to Bowie's popularity as it is to his studio skill. Not to discount his assistance, since his production results in one of the most satisfying glam records and the title track is one of the all-time great rock songs, but the album wouldn't have worked if Mott hadn't already found its voice on Brain Capers. True, Dudes isn't nearly as wild as its predecessor, but the band's swagger is unmistakable underneath the flair and Ian Hunter remains on a songwriting roll, with "Momma's Little Jewel," "Sucker," and "One of the Boys" standing among his best. Take a close look at the credits, though -- these were all co-written by his bandmates, and the other highlight, "Ready for Love/After Lights," is penned entirely by Mick Ralphs, who would later revive the first section with Bad Company. The entire band was on a roll here, turning out great performances and writing with vigor. They may not be as sexy as either Bowie or Bolan, but they make up for it with knowing humor, huge riffs, and terrific tunes, dressed up with style by Ziggy himself. No wonder it's not just a great Mott record -- it's one of the defining glam platters.
