Bad Lady Goes to Jail by John Wesley Coleman III (CD) Garage Rock from Austin

Description: 2010 release from the eccentric Austin, TX based singer/songwriter. Bad Lady Goes to Jail covers a whole variety of desires, from Coleman's desire for police to stop assaulting him to the desire to dance with his woman, to the less-specific "Something in My Brain Wants Something." to balance the wandering heart, he also offers more mundane observations in songs like the self-explanatory "Christians Drive Like S*&^" and "My Friend Dan," a straight celebration of one of his buddies. John Wesley Coleman churns out garage rock the same way a seasoned alcoholic passes a field sobriety test – bleary-eyed and at relative ease, but never quite in a straight line. Surely no shortage of bourbon and Lone Star beer fueled the latest solo effort from the Golden Boys focal point, Bad Lady Goes to Jail, a collection of 4am pop tunes at various states of inebriation and completion. Ofttimes there's little more here than a riff and an idea – as with the blunt "Christians Drive Like S^%*," cowbell-assisted "Something in My Brain Wants Something," and sloppy hoops ode "Ooh Basketball" – but that's more than enough to work with for Coleman, who has an insatiable knack for hooks and an even sharper wit, both perfectly encapsulated in "Come on Cops." The opening title track firmly places "Sir John" – as Coleman's known to some – in the lo-fi company of his label Goner Records, landing a Buddy Holly yelp somewhere between Reigning Sound's Greg Cartwright and Ty Segall, though the follow-up punch of "Fields of Love" also bears the influence of the late Jay Reatard. "Lazy Baby" and Stones rewrite "Can't Stop Dreaming" conjure the Golden Boys' raucous Memphis R&B; "My Friend Dan" and "Get High Babe" offer blown-out 1960s psychedelia. Bad Lady Goes to Jail may be a scattershot listen, but that's part of the appeal of Coleman, who never plays a song the same way twice. -- Austin Powell, The Austin Chronicle Tracklist 1 Bad Lady Goes yo Jail (Piano – Orville Neeley ) 2 Fields of Love 3 Lazy Baby (Guitar – J.
