The Vidalias

Uses item details. Price when purchased online

The Vidalias: Charles Walston (acoustic guitar, vocals, harmonica); Page Waldrop (guitar, electric sitar); Henry Burns (pedal & lap steel); Martin Kearns (Hammond B-3 organ, keyboards); Jim Johnson (bass); Randy Arrant (drums, percussion, background vocals); Peter Arenz (drums).<BR>Additional personnel includes: Amy Ray (vocals); Jimmy Byrd (electric guitar); Lilli Kim (violin).<BR>Producers: Donal Jones, The Vidalias, Jeff Bakos.<BR>Engineers: Donal Jones, Jimmy Byrd, Jeff Bakos.<BR>Recorded at King Mattress Studio and Bakos Amp Works, Atlanta, Georgia.<BR>On the Vidalias second album, they offer up an appealing stew of country, rock and pop. Where many of their peers get stuck in a 2/4 rut, the Vidalias move easily from boogie to ballad to barnburner without missing a beat. Bandleader Charles Walston's rough, weathered voice lends an edge to even the most sentimental songs, enabling him to pull off a barroom weeper like "What A Nice Surprise" (which features a guest appearance by Indigo Girl Amy Ray) without descending into bathos.<BR>The Vidalias employ twang and reverb the way a gourmet chef seasons a rich sauce, adding just the right touch to bring out the flavor that's already inherent in their songs. Walston proves himself to be a sharp songwriter, occasionally bringing to mind Dave Alvin, as on the dark, vengeful "Whose Side Are You On," which begs a favorable comparison to late-period Blasters. The Vidalias get bonus points for having enough smarts to make the most of the early Ramones gem "Questioningly" in a countrified cover version. $6.92
