2. Charlie Terrell & the Murdered Johns, Alabama Steam Punk Blues: Artist, playwright, songwriter, singer, Charlie Terrell is a sicker version of another sick Alabaman, Paul Thorn, all mixed up in Southern religious confusion and carnal desire. From the opening boogie "Bottle Flies" through a wicked cover of John Prine's "Onomatopoeia" to a Zeppelin-ish "Redneck Gigolo" and the sinister full-tilt boogie of "Straight Shooter on a Crooked Road," Alabama Steam Punk Blues is as nasty and murky as a Pentecostal preacher at a peep show or a right-wing, gay-bashing senator with his foot under the bathroom stall in an airport. "The bottle flies/ The baby cries/ I can't stand lookin' in your lovin' eyes."
