Brown's 'High and Dry' returns to country music roots
By Chris Eklof
The Battalion
Marty Brown
High and Dry
MCA
After listening to Marty Brown, you might
wonder what year it is. Pushing the play but
ton on the CD player is like turning on a time
machine, transporting you back to the first
half of this century. This is country music the
way it used to be, for better or worse.
Brown's music comes from a simpler time,
without a lot of gadgets and trickery. The
producers have added fiddles and steel gui
tars to Brown's natural solitary sound, but his
emotions still come through.
And what are these emotions? Of course
there are the classic country themes of love,
lost love, drinking and a whole lot of crying.
The title track covers all of these topics within
a few lines: "No more tears to cry / Lord you
left me high and dry / Well I've got whiskey
to quench my thirst inside / But this bottle
won't bring her back / It only makes me
high."
It is a welcome change that Marty Brown
writes his own songs, unlike many other
country music stars of today. It gives the
songs a much deeper feeling when the singer
is playing his own songs, with his feelings
and thoughts coming through.
Country music has always been known for
its playful use of the English language. "Ole
King Kong" is the country version of Van
Halen's "Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William
Now). It talks about how women tie down
their men once they get married, taking away
the freedom that they used to have. A man
who used to be "king of the jungle" gets mar
ried, his wife puts him in a cage and makes
"a monkey out of ole King Kong."
But can you dance to it? That's what many
two-steppers want to know. Most of the
songs are deep, slow soul searchers, but there
are a few songs you could dance to. "Sugar
Daddy" and "Every Now and Then," the
first single released, are probably the most
danceable. Coming from me, the man with
two left feet, that must mean a whole lot.
"Every Now and Then" is the song that
you are most likely to have heard. The video
and the song are receiving regular air time. It
is the most full sounding song on the album,
with a full group of background musicians.
"Every Now and Then" is the most modern
sounding song on the album, but it still
sounds like it was made in the '50s or '60s.
I'm not saying this is bad, just that Marty
Brown writes music like it used to be written.
Brown's voice tends to be annoying on a
couple of songs when he starts to twang and !j
yodel really hard. When he doesn't trytos
hard, his voice sounds fine. He just needs to I
relax a little and it would be OK.
Brown was featured on CBS's "48 Homs
as an up and coming performer. Theywer;
attracted to him because of his classicston
about making it in Nashville. Brownspen!
many years driving down to Nashville mm
Maceo, Kentucky, to try to get a record dea
He sang for money in the streets and spen:
the night in deserted alleys. Finally, aflei
years of struggle he signed a deal with MCA
His story comes straight out of the countr
music history book, but then so does Marti
Brown's music.
Anthrax, Public Enemy pair up for unusual concert
By Kevin Robinson
The Battalion
The past year has certainly seen its share
of unique concert pairings. This past sum
mer's Lollapalooza festival offered concert-
goers an eclectic mix ranging from Siouxie
and the Banshees to Ice-T to the Butthole
Surfers. Another tour offered the strange duo
of hardcore rappers Public Enemy and the
gothic rock of Sisters of Mercy. Public Enemy
recently took suprising company again, when
they joined Anthrax, Primus, and Young
Black Teenagers in a show at Houston's Uni
corn Saturday night.
I have to admit missing most of the first
two acts. I had planned on the usual 35-40
minute delay after the show was scheduled to
start, but apparently punctuality is a Unicorn
trademark. By all accounts, rappers Young
Black Teenagers ( who, ironically, are neither
black nor teenagers) started their set to a less
than ideal crowd at 7:00.
By the time I arrived. Primus was finish
ing up their own set. The band might be de
scribed as either funk or metal, but don't real
ly fall into either category. Instead, Primus is
one of a growing number of bands that are
expanding and breaking the walls of restric
tive genres. I managed to catch the band
thrashing through their last two songs, and
the little I saw left a good impression. I hope
to catch these guys again when they co-head
line with Fishbone in December.
Within 20 minutes of the end of Primus'
set. Public Enemy hit the stage amidst roaring
sirens and police lights. P.E. usually tours
with multiple band rap festivals playing in
sports arenas, so the move to the relatively
small Unicorn required a scaled down show
from their norm.
The difference in venues most affected the
role of the SIW's. The fatigue and beret
garbed team usually drills and steps to the
beat throughout the show, but Saturday night
had them in the familiar club position of act
ing as bodyguards against stagediving slam-
dancers. The smaller stage, cluttered with six
SIWs and the huge mixing console of Termi
nator X, also somewhat restricted the move
ments of frontmen Chuck D. and Flavor Flav.
The smaller venue did not, however, re
duce any of the intensity the band generated.
Drawing cuts mostly from their last album.
Fear of a Black Planet , the group whipped
through "Welcome to the Terrordome",
"Burn, Hollywood, Burn", "Who Stole the
Soul", and the anthemic "Fight the Power" at
breakneck speed. The show ground to a halt
as Flavor Flav made a seemingly disoriented
solo speech, but the lull didn't last long, as
Flavor kicked into his, "Can't Do Nuthin' For
Ya Man" and "911 Is a Joke".
After a few more numbers, including the
new single, "Can't Truss It", the band quickly
left the stage. The set was disappointingly
short, lasting only 45 minutes to an hour, but
the overall power of the set was more than
enough to make up for the set length.
As Anthrax took the stage shortly after
ward, the audience in front of the stage
erupted into a giant mosh that made the re
sponse to Public Enemy look like a mere
warmup. The band also played a relatively
short set, but managed to bring in most of the
songs that have made them favorites on the
speed metal scene, as well as many of the
songs from their newest release. Attack of the
Killer B's.
Highlights of the set included "Caught In
A Mosh", "Indians". "Keep It in the Family"
and the Kiss cover, "Parasite". "Keep It In
the Family" a song condemning the racially
motivated murder of Yussuff Hawkins, was
representative of the night's theme of racial
harmony and awareness. Although this was
supposedly a theme in the Lollapalooza festi
val as well, the message was better embodied
in this more intimate setting. White head-
bangers could be seen mouthing P.E. lyrics
and black fans in the audience weren't scarce
in the mosh pit during Anthrax.
The only complaint many members of the
audience had was with the sheer sonic assault
that Anthrax produced. I've been to loud
shows before, and know that the blame was
probably more on the mix than the volume
but that didn't stop several people aroundme
from having to cover their ears throughout
the set.
Shortly after the band left the stage, Ac
thrax's Scott Ian and Charlie Benantecami
back to tear through a version of Anthrax's}
rap single, "I'm the Man" with a littlehelf
from Flavor Flav off stage. This was followed
by a reunion between members of Anthro
and Public Enemy, who did an extended ver
sion of "Bring the Noise", a virtual freeforaf
excursion on stage featuring all the member:
of both bands and various guests and stage
hands. If there was a finale to the messageot
racial harmony, it was during this song,as
the usually stoic Chuck D. put his arms
around Ian and hopped around the stage.
More than anything, this show proved :
that a concert, mixed both racially and by i
genre, can work on its own merits. These
kinds of shows encourage diversity and expe
rience, both in musical taste and in tolerance
to other groups overall. If the seeming oppo
sites of hardline rap and speed metal can ;
come together for one night to have a great
time, then the sky really is the limit for future
combinations.
Nobel Peace Prize winner to visit A&M, honor National World Food Week
By Pamela Lee
The Battalion
Texas A&M is just one of 400 universities
hosting National World Food Week this week,
along with 12 other countries in the Western
Hemisphere in three different languages - En
glish, Portuguese and Spanish.
The MSC Student Conference on National
Affairs and MSC Great Issues will be hosting
National Food at A&M.
"A&M has been an annual contributor to
World Food Day," Amy Bluntzer of MSC
Great Issues said. "It's started about 10 years
ago, and now we are apart of their organiza
tion."
National Food Week's main focus is the
teleconference. The eighth annual satellite pro
gram will focus on free-market policies spread
ing throughout Latin America and the
Caribbean, and their impact on hunger and
poverty.
"The Hunger Puzzle: Adding the Interna
tional Macroeconomic Pieces" is a teleconfer
ence shown via satellite. The teleconference
has a panel discussion on the issues of debt
burden, poverty and environment; agricultural
trade and food security; the human impact of
macroeconomic policy' and edging toward free
trade agreement.
A can food drive targeted toward Corps of
Cadets, Resident Hall Council and the fraterni
ties and sororities will be held throughout the
remainder of the week. Individuals or groups
wanting to donate food can drop there can
food items at the MSC bookstore. Food items
will be donated to the Brazos Valley Food
Bank.
A "Save the Leaders" game started last
night to raise money for the Bank. Twenty
leaders from MSC committees are pretending
to be stranded on a deserted island and^l
starve unless students donate enough mont
to save the them. Whoever collects the niff
money wins.
Tara Hall, MSC Council Student Develo-
ment, said she volunteered to be a strandi-
leader for "fulfillment and satisfaction!."
"It is a good cause and it's fun. I amup-
the Student Programs Office long enough
might as well beg for money," Hall said
Tonight, Nobel Prize winner Dr. Norm;
Borlaug, from the US Department ofSoilaA
Crop Science, will speak on the problems a:
solutions to hunger in the Western her
sphere. Borlaug is known as "The Father oft’ 1 y
Green Revolution," for his ideas of improvf
the yield of grain per acre.
Borlaug will appear in Rudder 401
7p.m. The three-hour teleconference will : ;
Wednesday in Rudder 308 from lla.m.to-
p.m.
