Shaun Kama & The Kings Of The Wild Frontier: "Dear Scarecrow" Released: July 18, 2006
Now Playing: "Searching For Atlantis"
"I've followed the career of Shaun Kama for quite some time, from the days of "The Living End", Damnation, Blood-Junkies, and now Kings Of The Wild Frontier. I can honestly and safely say this is by far the best work he has produced ever!
Combining rock & roll, rockabilly, surf, folk and country this disk is definitely not something you've heard before, and especially not this well. Kama's voice is reminiscent of that of Chris Issac, and at times even a little Johnny Cash. (Especially in the Cash cover of "Sunday Morning Coming Down" and the Cash sounding 'Your Bastard Son"). If there was a smoke filled bar in the darkest corner of Hell, and Justin Sullivan of New Model Army was fronting Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, THAT would be KOTWF.
An all-star cast of musicians was assembled for this recording, including members of The Dwarves, Fish Bone, Oingo Boingo, & Rob Zombie. However none make quite the impact as bassist Albert Garcia. Though not too loud in the mix, Garcia's bass sets the tone of the record.
This disk gives you a sense of comfort, while keeping you looking over your shoulder, a feeling of acceptance while keeping you alienated. Any emotion you could possibly conjure up, and then contradict is brought out in this disk. This is a must have for EVERYONE!"
