Mary Carves The Chicken
Welcome to Hollywood
 |
Liner Notes
"Welcome to Hollywood" is the second
release from wordsmith rockers, Mary
Carves the Chicken. Rule number one
for power trios is, quite simply: "play
big." You will find that MCTC meets and
exceeds the rule here. This record was
recorded live, capturing the essence of
the Chickens as a live power trio
phenomenon.

The band pulled out all the stops both lyrically and musically. The guitar
solos range from epic to melodically beautiful, to blistering shredfests. As
one record exec aptly referred to guitarist, Bob Sherden, "Man, that dude
just keeps on givin' it up!" The drums are ultra tight and energetic; and as
always, Page Jackson delivers lyrically, belting out social commentary on
issues ranging from yuppie-ism to religion, to seeking more from life than
just consumerism. And as you simply must expect from MCTC, the record
is eclectic, running the gamut from plaintive storytelling to absolute
headbanging. Having gotten a recording deal a year before, and having
felt, but resisted, the pressure to alter their vision, the band delivers the
cynical and introspective, "Welcome to Hollywood," and the equally cynical
"Simi Valley." There is no concern for the radio-friendly length of a tune, or
the music industry's ever nagging need to pigeon-hole a band to make
them more "identifiable." The Chickens write them as they feel them; and
play them all as they play them live: all-out.
