I just broke into The Pierson's Last Train Down, which is one of the few CD's I hadn't yet opened from my assult on the local music section of Zia Records in April.

Yeeeeeeah! Humbucker is one of my favorite records. Appleberry Wine didn't do it for me. Have I given Appleberry enough of a chance? Probably not. But Last Train Down - oh yeah, it's Humbucker all over again. Absolutely the rock sensibilities of Humbucker, and Patti sounds just like he did on that record. The first two tracks have specific vocal lines that remind me totally of tracks from Humbucker.

Last Train Down (the track), has some killer Hopkins-ique octave riffs. Speaking of which, Doug appears in the thank you's, which is always great to see. Great, great song. Alicia is a slow one, but is perfect.

Wreckage is cool, and seems so fitting - I could imagine singing it if I was in Tempe 2 days ago. "The wreckage is all I came to see here anyway" (re Long Wongs).

Unlike the rest, the hidden track sounds a lot more modern, and less like Humbucker, but is an absolutely awesome balls out rocker. You're so faaaaaar away!

The Pierson's rock my world!
