Title: Gomez "Bring It On" again........
Review: The strength of their debut led me to buy this CD unheard on the day it was released. Liquid Skin cantains fewer "first-listen-likes" than Bring It On (notably Whipping Picadilly and Arrested), but as is often the case, the "growers" are the stronger tracks, and have much more longevity. My recommendation would be to buy Bring It On first if you don't already own it. If you do, then this contains more of the Tijuana Lady type track, and less of the Warm Trombone! Gomez style is rich and varied, but with a definitive style running through their work. Guitar is dominant, but not to the point of tedium, and the rough formed harmony singing reminds me of The Band (albeit at their loosest.) I hope Gomez continue to develop their style, as another album in this vein would probably be overkill. Personally, I am going to make my own Gomez tape, with my 6 favorites from each of the two CDs.
