Sounds Like: BOB URH & THE BARE BONES "SWAMP-O-DELIC" CD (NEW)United States' garage-punk-blues icon Bob Urh (ex The Ultra 5) outstanding new album. Something between Robert Johnson, Velvet Underground, Johnny Thunders and the Rolling Stones' "Exile On Main Street. Add to that mix some voodoo vibe and you get the picture. One of the finest records to come out lately from an underground hero. NO FUN RECORDS BOB URH & THE BAREBONES HOODOO GARAGE (CD/GREEN COOKIE) reviewed by Jurgen Dignef for Goddeau (translated excerpt) Hoodoo Garage is a record by a extremely talented singer-songwriter, who presents us with all thats essential in 50 years of rocknroll history. Urh is a child of rocknroll in all its aspects and Hoodoo Garage is the perfect reflection of such. Goddeau http://www.goddeau.com BOB URH AND THE BARE BONES BOOM BOOM A ZOOM ZOOM B/W RAMBLIN MAN ULTRAPRODUCTIONS.ORG I LOVE THIS URH GENT! CREEPIEST HANK WILLIAMS COVER SINCE THE SNEEZY WATERS MOVIE ABOUT HANK. RUMBLE SKUNK ZINE 2007 BOB URH & THE BARE BONES – “Hoodoo Garage” (Green Cookie Rec.) To carry out his voodoo-blues plan Bob Urh formed The Bare Bones! Think Hank Williams, early Stones and Velvet Underground, Lux Interior, Kim Salmon, Jeffrey Lee Pierce (at his solo-career), the hypnotic stuff of Thin White Rope and you’ll get the bus that drives you wild through the cemeteries & the valleys of “Dead Man” at The Bare Bone-route! A long time ago I was watching a couple of B-movies highlighted by “The Killer Shrews”, “King Of The Zombies” & “The Brain That Wouldn’t Die”! At “The Killer Shrew’s-end” I put on my compact-player this disc and the trip continued via the swamp-voodoo-blues shots of “Bad World Revisited”, “Cracker Daddies And Crocodiles”, “Pretending”, “Wonderful”, “The Sky Is Crying”, “Graveyard Shift”, and “After The Sun”!!! To be continue… You gotta get this disc, a bottle of tequila & get your kicks on The Bare Bones twist! (S.P.)* Bob Urh And The Bare Bones have released the sort of album that creeps up on you, bit by bit and catches you unaware. In the end you find yourself listening over and over to catch all the nuances. The band has an immediately identifiable style, yet no two songs on the album are alike. The overall style is skeletal in the sense that notes stand on their own; there is no clutter. Songs are sometimes feral, sometimes mysterious, always beautifully structured. Ry Cooder's country inflected blues style seems to have influenced the band, as has The Velvert Underground, perhaps Willy DeVille, and certainly The Stones. As expected, I have got very good responses from my listeners whenever I've played the album on my shows.Barb Wire WLUW 88.7 Chicago"one of the greatest records of 2005!!!! this record bridges the gap between real roots music and 60, psycho!"*MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL PROCLAIM THE BARE BONES "DARK AND SWAMPY"!* BOB URH AND THE BARBONES HOODOO GARAGE (CD/GREEN COOKIE) reviewed by Paul van de Gehuchte for Rock Tribune (translated excerpt) Names that spring to mind while listening to Hoodoo Garage are Howe Gelb (Giant Sand), Lux Interior (The Cramps) and Jon Spencer. Singer-guitarist Bob Uhr takes no chances while creating the most authentic sound possible. Beware for the voodoo of Hoodoo Garage, the perfect soundtrack for an explicit, low-budget, roadmovie.* LOWCUT Bob Urh and the Bare Bones Boom Boom a Zoom Zoom/Ramblin Man 7 2 songs by Bob Urh accompanied by the Bare Bones and it is slow, hypnotic and minimal and sounds like a strung out version of early Cramps with Junior Kimbrough sitting in on guitar. H. Williams Ramblin Man on the b-side lasts a little over 5 minutes and really makes the Urh-proach work wonders the way the minor riff is repeated over and over, backed up by walking bass, lazy drumming, a lonely tambourine and Mr. Urhs tortured voice. The information as to who, what, where, etc. is scarce, since the 7 came in a plain white sleeve, but the label states from the home of psycho sonic sounds galore www.lowcut.dk *reviewed by CARBON 14 -2006 "TWO DIFFERERENT SIDES OF MR URH AND HIS BONES HERE,"BOOM BOOM" SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS INSPIRED BY A DRUNKEN WARPED VERSION OF THE MUNSTERS THEME AT 16 RPM IF PLAYED BY POISON IVY OF THE CRAMPS IN A FIT OF LINK WRAY POSSESSION. "RAMBLIN MAN" THE HANK WILIAMS TUNE, IS DECONSTRUCTED TO THE POINT OF SOUNDING NOTHING LIKE THE ORIGINAL---ALSO SLOWED DOWN BEYOND BELIEF TO EXTRACT AS MUCH PAIN AS AS POSSIBLE FROM WILLIAMS LYRICS" THIS:* BOB URH & THE BARE BONES (CD/GREEN COOKIE) reviewed by Planet Trash (translated excerpt) After hearing Hoodoo Garage by Bob Urh & The Bare Bones I can conclude that at the end of year I found a serious contender for my list of this years releases that truly turn me on. Hoodoo Garage has a rudimentary sound with minimal arrangements. Each track seems to be inspired by another classic. From Robert Johnson to The Velvet Underground and from The Gun Club to The Rolling Stones Exile On Mainstream. Hoodoo Garage ends abruptly after which I realize that Bob Urh has made a special record.* BOB URH AND THE BAREBONES HOODOO GARAGE (CD/GREEN COOKIE) reviewed by Ewie for FileUnder (translated excerpt) These Americans, on Hoodoo Garage, manage to combine the music of The Rolling Stones and Velvet Underground. This record, full of old fashioned r&b and garagerock, charmingly rattles like theres no tomorrow and the song material is diverse and very good. Basically I hope that both Lou Reed and Mick Jagger receive a copy of this, so they can get some inspiration for one last great musical effort. *
