Wall of Voodoo, “Call of the West” 1982

#WallOfVoodoo cultivated an air of mystery - their album covers, their very name! - and the subject matter of their songs, #StanRidgway's arch vocals, the music itself were always a little offbeat and angular in a way that made it easy for them to ride the #NewWave to us, via #EnnioMorricone #SpaghettiWestern.

This album was their commercial peak. I was going to feature a track you're less likely to have heard, but in the end had to go with "Mexican Radio." How could I resist the couplet “I wish I was in Tijuana/Eating barbecued iguana”?

Another favorite of mine is their oddly compelling cover of "Ring of Fire" from their debut eponymous ep. You may have also heard frontman and artistic lead Ridgway on "Don't Box Me In" from #StewartCopeland's soundtrack for the film adaptation of #SEHinton's Rumblefish, and he continues to release solo music via #bandcamp.

On this day in 1964 ‘Ring of Fire: Best of Johnny Cash’’ by Johnny Cash became the first #1 album when Billboard introduced their Country album chart.

When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild”

Earlier this week I was in a little boutique record store on Magnolia in Burbank (note, NOT the stalwart Atomic Records) where it's all vinyl and it's all outrageously overpriced, and they were asking $45 for the #WallOfVoodoo 6-song EP (originally 1980, reissued for Record Store Day this year). Forty...five...bucks. I have never more wanted to punch the Vinyl Revival in the face. It makes me ashamed to be in this business.

I just now *finally* got the 2009 remaster of Call of The West and was listening on headphones last night. The production is absolutely amazing! There's constant sound effects or "flourishes" on every song that sync so perfectly with the theme, etc. It's truly astonishing. Plus, some incredible lyrics on top of some really great left field pop.
Now to listen to Dark Continent! #WallofVoodoo #StanRidgway youtu.be/Pji1RXLEJq4?si=sK_fsw

#Lanciano_storie #WallOfVoodoo era il 1984 una mattina facevo le medie e mentre camminavo trovai tutte le cabine telefoniche del centro con le diciture ascolta la radio perchè è mexicana , oppure mexican radio ascoltala, la cosa particolare che erano fitte e graficamente belle e bordavano i telai delle cabine e per un pò di anni mi chiedevo cosa volevano significare ? chi le aveva scritte? arrivai ai Wall of Voodoo ma gli autori mi restarono per altri anni sconosciuti non parlo della canzone ma delle scritte ...morale nel 90 conobbi un tale e mi rivelò l'arcano...in pratica erano in 3 che conoscevo di nome che dopo essersi presi una svalangata di LSD passarono l'intera notte a decorare le cabbine.. CMQ Wall of Voodoo tra le cose che maggiormente mi ampliarono la percezione della musica youtu.be/eyCEexG9xjw?si=hJU1LC
