Tulip Frenzy

Only a band that could make The Clash’s “Guns of Brixton” sound like it was a  Louis L’Amour story about a shootout in Brixton, Arizona could put out a record like this.  Is Carried To Dust Joey Burns’ and John Convertino’s masterpiece?  Probably.  It might even be their breakthrough.  Dreamy, ambitious, shooting for the moon with a Winchester rifle, this one goes down like patent medicine with a 40 proof kick.  “Slowness,” should be on the juke box of every truckstop on Route 66, and “Two Silver Trees” glints with pure light and mystery.  We ride at dawn.
