The Blasters - The Blasters - The Blasters - The Blasters - The Blasters took the group's tough, heartfelt music and put it on plastic for the ages in near flawless form. The Blasters wasn't the only great album this group would make, but it was certainly their best, catching them when they were still fresh but with just enough seasoning to bring out their best performances; it's practically impossible to imagine the roots rock scene of the '80s and onward existing without this album as a roadmap.

Vinyl LP pressing. After releasing two strong albums for Slash, The Blasters had plenty of critical acclaim and a sizable hometown following, but they hadn't come especially close to landing a hit record, and on the 1985 album Hard Line, they overhauled their approach in the studio in hopes of creating something that sounded more contemporary. Producer Jeff Eyrich pumped up the sound of Bill Bateman's drums (and for a few tracks replaced him with Stan Lynch of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers), Dave Alvin's guitar tone got thicker and harder and the emphasis was put squarely on new songs. InchTrouble BoundInch and InchHelp You DreamInch showed Dave Alvin's gift for writing in traditional styles was as strong as ever. Alvin's songs took on a darker tone on Hard Line, especially the tale of a small town lynching, InchDark Night,Inch the anti-Reagan rant InchCommon Man,Inch and the busted romance of InchJust Another Sunday,Inch while the fiddle-led acoustic arrangement of InchLittle HoneyInch serves the tune far better than the version X recorded on Ain't Love Grand (with co-author John Doe on vocals). Phil Alvin rarely had a better run as a singer as he did on this album, which finds him better controlled but just as impassioned and expressive as ever. And the closing track, the rollicking InchRock and Roll Will Stand,Inch is a darkly funny appraisal of the music biz that shows The Blasters knew just what they were getting into by trying to scale the charts, and were prepared for the consequences. Hard Line proved to be The Blasters' final studio album with their original lineup, and while it sounds like an experiment that only partially succeeded, the best moments revealed they could move forward without losing what made them special, they held on to their principles far better than the vast majority of roots rock bands who figured a different producer might get them on t
