LORI HEHR PUBLIC RELATIONS
AT WAR WITH SELF/Acts of God: Glenn Snelwar checks in the new set from his power trio.  Led by three soloists on leave from their ‘day’ gigs, AWWS tackles their progressive side with abandon, throwing all their chops into the mix.  This heady power trio might be a side project for the principals on board but the certainly don’t treat it like a busman’s holiday.  With a different flavor from the first set due to a shift in personel, progressive tastes that like when things are on a very progressive edge will eat up the changes and dive right in.

WALT WILKINS & the Mystiqueros/Diamonds in the Sun: The latest in a long line of killer Texas bred songwriters, Wilkins teams up with Lloyd Maines, rounds up a bunch of Texas cats that turn this crew in to a Hill Country supergroup, and simply let’s the fur fly.  He’s been bubbling under for a while, but this set will hit you with the impact of something like “Ol’ #1″, “Viva Terlingua” or “Kristofferson”.  When you’re out there looking for that dead solid perfect album that comes from the gut as well as the heart, this is the one you are looking for.

YARRR!!! PR
TESTA ROSA: A new kind of chick rock in which Nico’s ennui is mixmastered with contemporary blase for the sum total of a new telling on you can always get what you want.  Vet Milwaukee rockers that have reconstituted after the fall off of their last group, they know the scene and it’s environs using everything at hand to create a new branch of emo.  Certainly culty stuff, it’s loaded with enough cream to make it rise to the top.

DVD SUPPLEMENT
PARAMOUNT HOME VIDEO
RAWHIDE Second Season V. 1: 16 episodes of trouble on the trail from the 1959 season as Clint Eastwood and his pals drive those cattle across the plain and deal with bad guys and hardships.  A classic for the golden age of tv westerns, it might have been made in black and white, but that didn’t stop it from being a big and bold vista of a show.  The west was pretty well tamed in real time at this point, but the romance was still there and that’s why this well made series wasn’t farmed out to a budgie label.  Big fun for western fans.

HOGAN’S HEROES season six: All 24 episodes of the Nazi laugh riot that ran longer than the actual WWII are gathered for the last go round of some of everyone’s fave sayings.  The POWs continue to outwit the nutty Nazis in the German hinterlands with elaborate schemes and plans that turn things so inside out that it’s no wonder we won.  You have to wonder why we bothered to win and bring it to an end since it looks like it was so much fun.  Only in that fantasy land that was the 60’s could we get a politically incorrect show like this, and that’s why it lives on and on.  Don’t miss nuzzing!
