Band Members:Demorama Review: "The Ripcord Recordings" - One of the Demorama ideas (ideals?) that I cling to is that of the person who wanders into a studio somewhere and lets it roll. One player, one onstument, one live take. Yeah, it might be a tad romantic, but it usually blows through the other dreck I hear that month. Williams does just that on this demo. He wraps his Freedy/Ryan Adams/Neil vocals around his riffy acoustic guitar (with the slightest hint of harmonica) tunes to create a really intimate vibe. Some songs are topical, some tell stories, and some are autobiographical. Could be Texas' answer to Todd Snider or Peter Case! Best of (my) month! (SCIsadore)
