Steve Earle and the Supersuckers Steve Earle and the Supersuckers
[Sub Pop]
Rating: 2.0
Steve Earle is cool. The 'Suckers
are cool. This EP is not cool. All
the problems can be addressed in the nasal, acoustic, slowed-down
version of Supersuckers'
"Creepy Jackalope Eye." Earle takes the vocals
and shoves them up his ass while
Eddie Spaghetti
and Co. makes noodles out of testosterone. The original version of said song is
included on the EP, and that makes the previous simpathon a rabid exercise in both
pain and unecessary remakes.
There are two more songs on this EP that Earle and the
Supersuckers
do, but you know what? I don't care. You probably won't either.
