Music Review V 2.002
Radney Foster
Another Way to Co
Dualtone Records
Tl ^7 i |>l
Since he started out in the 1980s as half of Foster
and Lloyd, Radney Foster has played his own flavor
of country music. Never quite mainstream, his
music has had sporadic chart success while his tal
ent as a singer/songwriter has gotten stronger.
Foster started in Texas music when it was a
fairly unknown genre. He then ventured to coun
try, made a short trip into pop and eventually U-
turned back into Texas music. Now, with his first
album in four years, Foster has indeed found
Another Way to Go.
Already the album has given him a number one
(“Everyday Angel”) on the Texas Music Charts and
has gotten heavy airplay on country music radio.
The country style of the music can't be denied, but
it is not your typical country music album. Foster's
trip into pop and his roadhouse roots mingle to
form an enjoyable and unique album.
Foster wrote or co-wrote every song, and
“Scary Old World” features country singer Chely
Wright. With the range of style and topics covered
on this album, anyone can find at least one song
with which they’ll be able to relate. It may not be
one you would normally pick up. but this album is
not a waste of time or money.

Hives’ latest radio hit, “Hate to Say I TokN

The fact that this album has won them cm, i

The Hives
Veni Vidi Vicious
Burning Heart Records
The Hives seem to be Sweden’s form of for
giveness after inflicting the world with ABBA.
Veni Vidi Vicious is miles apart from the usual pop
culture-era punk albums. Its sound is reminiscent
of retro punk rock groups such as The Clash, and
its style is snooty-European. The 12-track collec
tion is chock full of cunningly-smart lyrics, soar
ing guitars and screechy vocals from frontman
Howlin Pelle Almqvist, who sounds (and some
times even looks) like a direct descendant of the
Mick dagger clan.
The 12 tracks are fast-paced garage rock songs
that center around politics, self-depreciation and
vengeance. “Die Alright” is one of the more
noticeable tracks on the CD, with anti-corporate
lyrics like “sold my body to the company so/ 1 got
the money now away I go/ and 1 say/ thank you
Mr. CEO.” It’s funny, though, how the band
recently signed a multi-million dollar record deal
with, you guessed it, a big corporation.
“Find Another Girl” is a song that should be
relished by the listeners, because it is the only

PRINCE CHARLES
Britons OK life with
woman for Charles
LONDON (AP) - More than
half of Britons
think Prince
Charles
should be
allowed to
live with long
time compan
ion Camilla
Parker
Bowles when
he is king —
but nearly an equal number do
not want her to become queen,
according to a new poll.
Fifty-seven percent of respon
dents said they would find it
acceptable for Charles to live
with Parker Bowles, without
marrying her, when he is king,
while 32 percent said it would
be unacceptable.
Forty-two percent thought the
pair should marry, while 36 per
cent were opposed and 32 per
cent did not express an opinion.
Some Britons oppose the rela
tionship because the prince's
popular ex-wife Princess Diana
blamed Parker Bowles for the
breakup of her marriage.
But polls show increasing pub
lic acceptance of the relationship
between Charles, the eldest son
of Queen Elizabeth II, and the
divorced Parker Bowles.
Charles has said he has no
