Negative Positive
Title: Sinister, nearly perfect alt-country
Review: A follow-up to Johnny Dowd's 1996 surprise hit "Wrong Side of Memphis," this album is longer and more involved, and offers a fuller sound than his previous effort. Dowd has lost none of his power or scary edge, however, and "Pictures from Life's Other Side" shows him to still be the perfect antidote to the commercial torpor choking modern country music. Dowd is a worthy heir to Hank Williams, Sr., and Johnny Cash, and this album is nearly perfect alternative country.
