RARE 2LP (Double Album) RAW & ALIVE!!!
TRUTH & JANEY
DALLAS 1976
\ USA - PRIVATE PRESS (Rock 'n' Bach)
TOP MINT!!
VERY RARE ...long time gome limited pressing =double album= in thick gatefold cover by the legendary & powerful guitar trio TRUTH & JANEY ....
This obscure smoldering slab of molten rock came hurtling through the 70's worm hole from the great American Midwest, Iowa, to be exact. Truth and Janey, one of a handful of heavy rock shoulda beens from the Midwest (Granicus, Energy and Primevil to name a few others), were a short lived power trio consisting of Billy Janey on guitar, Steve Bock, bass, and Denis Bunce on the drums. They released a couple of singles and a self-financed limited pressing of the full length LP studio recording "No Rest For The Wicked". Live In Dallas 1976 is a recording of a blistering live performance of the band at the Col Ballroom in Davenport, Iowa.
This is unapologetic, long-haired, Dashiki-wearin' rock and roll that is equal parts Hendrix, Robin Trower and Cactus mixed with a bit of Prog and a bit of 70's FM underground radio rock. Sonically, for a low budget live recording, this sounds pretty great. There are some spots where the guitar disappears, but overall, it's a very urgent and exciting recording with a slammin' overdriven Ampeg bass sound that powers this entire beast from below. Like Grand Funk but nastier. The guitar sounds are also beautifully fuzzy and filthy, with nary a clean guitar to be found. This record sounds like they were just absolutely cranked live. Must've been like that old Memorex (or was it Maxell) ad where your hair is blown back by the sheer weight of the sound if you were standing in front of the stage for this gig. Musically, the songs are quite complex structurally, with lots of changes and different sections. A lot of the grooves are of the funkier Robin Trower or Energy/Tommy Bolin vibe. Often the verse/chorus sections linger in the pop rock world and then they bust into some heavier instrumental sections. One of the great things about this record is the tendency on most songs to break down into a hard-as-nails vamp section, a la ZZ Top, for Billy Janey to unleash some guitar wizardry over.
The album starts with a dark, menacing guitar cadenza that breaks into the chugging, churning "No Rest for the Wicked." "Birth to the Heart," the second song is one of the best jams of the set. It's got a slow, funky groove, kind of Energy/Trower-ish that eventually leads to one of the aformentioned breakdown/vamp sections with some bitchin' soloing. This song, like many Truth and Janey songs, has extended sections where they're just grooving on a string of riffs. "Universal Light" fluctuates between heavy riffing and radio friendly "deep cuts" rock before devolving into an elephantine bass groove/guitar solo ending. This pretty much remains the modus operandi for the rest of the record - alternation of some pretty heavy riffing, FM rock verses/choruses, and monstrous vamps. So, basically, if you're not digging the poppy verses, hang with it, because the bottom'll drop out and you'll soon find yourself immersed in high voltage fuzzy greatness.
The eight minute "Tunnel of Tomorrow" is another of the faves, detouring into Budgie-like greasy bass vamp-land a couple minutes in and staying there for a long time before breaking into a proto-NWOBHM gallop to finish it off. Also worthy of mention is the ZZ Top boogie of "White Bread", complete with, you guessed it, a ZZ Top style solo vamp. The fiery version the Mississippi John Hurt song "Ain't No Tellin" is the only cover song on the album.
The playing of all three guys is wicked and the communication between them perfect. Clearly they're used to lots of jamming together. There are loads of intense, fanatical Cactus-like moments throughout with powerful drumming and Bogert-Geezer bass gymnastics underneath.
There are some times where the vocals aren't quite making it, which must be forgiven in a live recording, but can be distracting from the greatness. Both Janey and Steve Bock handle lead vocal duties. I'm not sure who is singing what, but on some of the bluesier songs, the vocals are more of a Leslie West style and sound killer. The songs that more melodically complex are the songs that don't quite hang vocally with everything else that's going on. Small complaint though.
If you dig the old heavy jams, then you will dig this.
