The Michigan Daily
Seeds
BY GREG BAISE
AUSTIN, Texas: musical hotbed.
Hume of the Fabulous Thunderbirds,
True Believers, Daniel Johnston, and
the Wild Seeds. The Wild Seeds,
hqh? Not exactly a household name.
Yet.
However, judging from the
amount of critical acclaim they've
garnered from all facets of the popu-
lar music media (i.e. Rolling Stone,
Newsweek, People), soon everyone
will be grooving to the hard, bluesy

country rock so masterfully purveyed
by bands from the South - like this
one.
But is MTV stardom what they
really want, or do the Wild Seeds
find flaws with the vision of the
world that MTV presents? Judging
from the songs on their latest al-
bum, Mud, Lies and Shame
(Passport), they obviously opt for
the latter. Note the second song on
the album, "I'm Sorry, I Can't Rock
You All Night" - a severe whump!
to the omnipresent phallus in most
of what gets played on the radio to-
day.
The Wild Seeds formed in 1983,
playing bars and parties around the
University of Texas at Austin. Their
releases, an EP and their first album,
Brave, Clean and Reverent, were
both released on a local independent
label, to much local critical acclaim.
Now, with national exposure,
many national critics are noting the
strengths of the Wild Seeds. Gui-
tarist-vocalist Michael Hall writes
songs covering a wide variety of
styles, prompting Rolling Stone to
describe the Wild Seeds as able to
meld "Buffalo Springfield and Bruce
Springsteen into a workable whole."
Sound impressive? It should. And
for eight bucks tonight, you yourself
can catch this rising (lone) star from
Austin. Really.

p.m. with his guitar, and a new album. in tow. Count on lots
of political prose - it is election time, and Dave probably
can't resist that. Tickets are $6.50 and $5.50 for students and
