Rock'n'roll is dead. Gallows Wine [KLP287] is a wake for it's charred remains. Calvin Johnson traveled to Columbus, Mississippi to record Gallows Wine with the combo Hartle Road at their Pompeii studio. Columbus, in Lowndes County, is the childhood home of Tennessee Williams (just down US Route 45 from White Station, birthplace of Howlin' Wolf). Songs reflecting this singular environment include InchPink CadillacInch written by Calvin when he was 16 (in reserve for just the right session);Title song InchGallows WineInch rips psycho psychedelic, poetic license intact;InchCrazy LegsInch is a Gene Vincent class act celebrating our sock hopulation;InchOrange AidInch melts downtown no WAV.Yeah, Gallows Wine gets primitive Lurch pulls a night shift on organ, Grandma Moses on the fife and drum. Calvin busk (melodica garage worm profane). Rockabilly spin cycle, guitar scrape and crush. Hand jive. You wanted Calvin Johnson howling beyond the magnolia curtain, you got it Gallows Wine.The only proper response - - - Rock'n'roll is dead. Long live rock'n'roll.
