fIREHOSE - Flyin The Flannel '1991

Tracks list

It was a pretty big deal in the underground rock community when fIREHOSE made
the jump from an independent record label to a major one (Columbia) with their
fourth full-length record, 1991s Flyin the Flannel. But fans shouldnt have
worried; the trio didnt change its sound to fit its new label, although the
songwriting did become more succinct, which only improved the albums outstanding
16 tracks (resulting in fIREHOSEs finest album). The album-opening anthem, Down
With the Bass, is a Mike Watt tribute to his beloved four-string, while the band
rocks out throughout the album: Up Finnegans Ladder, Cant Believe, the title
track, Oer the Town of Pedro, The First Cuss, Anti-Misogyny Maneuver, and Town
the Line are all standouts. Like all fIREHOSE albums, Flyin the Flannel includes
its share of soothing moments, such as Toolin, Walking the Cow, the downtrodden
album closer Losers, Boozers, and Heroes, and perhaps the best song on the
album, the swirling jazz of Epoxy, for Example. Flyin the Flannel is one of the
great lost rock gems of the 90s. Super highly recommended. ~ Greg Prato
