Here it is Rose. I came across this earlier but didn't bother to post it. If you listen to the music and don't like it - fine. A well argued negative review is worthy reading. But this is just ludicrous.

BLOGS: A DEEPER SHADE OF SOUL AT A BAR MIZVAH FROM HELL
Posted by Klaus on Nov 18 2008 at 18:58
AANSCHAFFEN METEEN DUS - PRACHTIG EERBETOON... that's what Frank van Engelen says at The Bluesmagazine in the Netherlands. Now since my Dutch is as good as my Kishuaeli, Google claims it stands for "BUY THIS NOW!".
The Rochester City Newspaper carries a short but sweet review attesting Southside Johnny being competent in what he's been doing... As if we didn't knew that already. But it never hurts to realize:
Tom Waits tunes goosed with some full-blown brass ? Who knows, Waits might've even toyed with this idea himself, but Southside Johnny beat him to the punch. Waits is a genre unto himself, and to adequately convey the character-centric stories within his mix of jazz, blues, Tin Pan Alley, and arbitrary mayhem, you'd think one would have to cop to his persona. This is essentially impossible. Either you're qualified, or you ain't. Well, Southside Johnny is. With La Bamba's Big Band bringing the big brass with more menace than Mancini, Southside's raggedly soulful voice gives slightly cleaner takes of these tunes. The band even manages to recreate Waits' Dixieland cacophony on "Tango 'Til they're Sore," like a funeral march falling down an open manhole.
Now, Alex Verhoeff spans the story from short after the beginning of all civilization - a.k.a. Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes third album "Hearts of Stone", all the way to the "Grapefruit Moon" in his feature at TWANG VILLE. While I still wonder about the name of the website, I enjoyed the read:
When Hearts of Stones was released, Lyon was swimming against the current with his music. “It was actually a time when music had become a little bloated,” he explains “and I think we were part of the reaction against that.” Southside explains that “all the records that I love are moments caught in time, they are not as produced and structured.” From that perspective Lyon was able to relate to the punk movement as well, even though his brand of music (and the Asbury Park scene) was quite a bit more sophisticated. Lyon acknowledges they had different roots, “but we certainly understood each other. Steven and I used to go and see the Ramones in CBGB’s and they were great! Holy s**t! The punk scene to me was kind of a breath of fresh air too, for some reason we managed to get along with them. I think there’s a real bond between people who are not part of the system and don’t want to be part of that system.” (...)
“We just kept going and that’s 30 years ago” he laughs at it now. Lyon elaborating on how he “just want to have a chance to be me and be honest about what I feel,” might just be the key to why he continued to struggle with record companies. Lyon is not the type of artist to compromise his music in favor of current trends. He is first and foremost a fan of music like his audience. Lyon is capable of recounting is first James Brown concert in the early sixties in a fashion that makes it sound like he just stepped out of the venue, still brimming with excitement. Record executives concerned with sales figures, big sales figures, have a hard time following that train of thought. “Most of the people in the business have nothing to do with music,” Southside claims, “and that’s an immediate alienation for most of us.”
It is the same fan boy like admiration that seeps through on his latest project, Grapefruit Moon, a big band take on the songs of Tom Waits. On the surface Waits’ music might seem like a big leap from the R&B records by the Drifters Lyon loves to collect, but as Southside explains, “I think there a real connection between that, there’s a little Howlin’ Wolf in Tom, there’s certainly a lot of cool Jazz like Charles Brown. There’s a real R&B background in Tom, you can really feel it,” adding with a laugh, “he sounds like he’s down on the street, where he belongs.” The big band project first came into fruition when Johnny met Tom after an Amsterdam show Waits just gave. Lyon sprang his idea on Tom and Waits immediately warmed up to it, “so I said ok, if he can understand it, than I’m alright.”
“I wanted it to be like the music I used to see, where you would go and see the Drifters and just enjoy yourself, I never wanted anything more than that.” Going by that standard you might just say that Lyon’s career has been a great success, a success in honesty and love of music.
An interesting article, very nice work - and quite some labour of love for the South!
Ben Lazar at A DEEPER SHADE OF SOUL writes about GRAPEFRUIT MOON:
"Like the protagonists of many Waits songs, there’s a loneliness and solitude that is all-pervasive; these songs are the wry observations of an eclectic soul, late at night and alone at the bar. But while Waits is an artist that has always fit into a great bohemian tradition, Southside Johnny is an artist that has never quite fit in anywhere (much like his other Asbury Park comrades) and in that, you can hear a loneliness that penetrates a bit deeper than Waits’s.
It’s doubtful that Grapefruit Moon will get much love from the denizens of cool – but that will be their loss. This is one of the best musical surprises of the year. "
Bravo!
I second that!
Now we come to something completely different!
Martin Jack Rosenblum. That guy lives in Milwaukee. Or he just posts on a website by the name of EXPRESS MILWAUKEE and it appears that he has got a copy of the liner notes of GRAPEFRUIT MOON - I doubt he gave it a listen. But I can only guess that dear Martin kind of seems to have stopped listening to Southside Johnny short after their first Album 1975. That's why he obviously couldn't get himself into Johnny and the Tom Waits Bigband stuff this time around.
"I Don't Want ToGo Home is a classic.
Grapefruit Moon is not. LaBamba's Big Band is the assemblage of Richie "LaBamba" Rosenberg. The list of players is so long that there barely is liner-note space for "Many, many thanks to Tom and Kathleen for their help and support. Oh...and songs." Indeed, "Oh...and songs." This is neither cover nor tribute album but, unlike John Hammond's startling collection of Tom Waits songs titled Wicked Grin (2001), it's an album of self-indulgent chaos. "Big ups to Bon Jovi for his continued and much-needed support" is crunched into the liner-note material, which sounds like somebody paid for this album or, if not, a name-drop where there should be more about Tom and Kathleen Waits, co-writers of the most important rock 'n' roll canon of the 21st century.(...)
This is not an album of Tom Waits songs-it's a bar mitzvah from hell.
It's (...) the destruction of Waits' material. Twelve of his songs are recorded in a live studio performance on Grapefruit Moon, but there is no reason for me to delineate them. Each is mollified through ignorant arrangement and overburdened by pointless musicians, chorus and yelping vocals. In a pre-release interview, Southside Johnny thanks Tom Waits for singing "what may laughingly be called harmony on one song." This is not on the liner notes, but the producer "thanks his beautiful wife." Grapefruit Moon has nothing to do with Waits' artistry but rather the flagging career of a New Jersey guy who has friends in lost places. If you've bought this album, see if you can get a couple of bucks for it at a used CD shop."
Dear Martin Jack Rosenblum: I do appreciate the de(con-)struction of songs and music every once in a while. There are certain artists, which I consider being my house-gods, who do nothing else. Tom Waits is upfront by distance in that group. Bob Dylan comes through very well as well, when I've seen him this summer. I had a hard time, sometimes, to even recognize what he's been playing - but I enjoyed every second of it. You need to have great songs to be able to do that. And you need to be an artist on your very own right. Southside and Richie are just some of them.
So, in other words: I'll buy all copies of the CD you can get ahold of!
No denizen of cool but a friend in a real lost place... a.k.a. Germany!

I started law school in 91, so I didn't even notice that the Jukes weren't playing as much. I saw a Chestnut Cabaret show during first semester exams in Philly in 1991 and I happened to be in London during Spring Break in 1992 when they played the Town & Country Club (completely by coincidence) and then it's all a Jukes-less blur until the acoustic tour in the late '90s when I decided that being a lawyer was not as much fun as I thought it would be. Lucky for me, the Jukes started playing a lot after that, and here we are today.
So how are your contest entries coming? Anybody come up with a winner yet? Please send your entries to the e-mail address listed on the News page.

Thanks!! Isn't it interesting how some of us moved into different musical areas for a while, but all came back!
Would love to see the ticket stub book when you've finished. I've got a ticket stub book too from the very beginning at Central Park's Music Festival.
I did stop by Tramps in 1999 to see the Jukes....

Peaches, Mike Saunders answered your question pretty accurately. I took a break, more or less, around that time period too. I stopped publishing the fanzine in 1989 when I moved and changed jobs and had no access to a word processer and copier (how primitive, isn't it?). For the next few years, I focused on my career. I still saw the Jukes when they were in the area and kept in touch. I got heavily into country music in 1996 and met my husband that year in a country-western bar (I knew there was a reason for that detour!). I took him to see the Jukes at Tramps in 1997 and the fire in me was restarted. I haven't missed much since then and I think there was a fair amount of shows. We usually found out about shows through the band and our little Jersey shore network. I'm working on organizing my ticket stubs. Someday I might be able to tell you what shows they did in that time period if I find the stubs! By the way, I'm still looking for those originals of the fanzine. I was a little busy this weekend celebrating my birthday! I'm going to see AC/DC tomorrow and Bob Dylan on Friday so it's a crazy week.

Check out this article in todays Wall Street Journal and my note to the writer below.
online.wsj.com
I enjoyed and agreed with your article today. However I was disappointed to see no mention of one of my favorite cd's of the year "Grapefruit Moon" The songs of Tom Waits from Southside Johnny and La Bamba's big band. Southside is a phenomenal and unique vocalist and has done terrific covers of a number of songs throughout his career. However the Tom Waits project is something special - it keeps the feeling and storylines of the originals while boosting the melody and taking the arrangements into entirely unexpected directions. Tom Waits liked it so much he joined in for a duet on one song. Give it a listen and a review. This is some fabulous adult music, and not a rehash of past recordings. Plus it puts the spotlight on one of the country's great contemporary songwriters.

Mike,
Very well put, as usual! Thank you.
I would still luv to hear some versions of this as told by Linda T and others who were around at the time and knew where and how to find the shows.
(I took break from rock concerts at the time for two reasons: one NYC radio had deteriorated so badly it was insulting. DJ's were making up facts and talking about things they did not know and also because during a Dire Straits show at the Meadowlands the crowd began to fold their programs into little airplanes, set them on fire with cigarette lighters and send them sailing through the crowd. I really could not believe it had come to that!)

Morning all (well, it's morning in the UK anyway). In answer to recent questions about the Jukes in the 90s, let's go back to the Better Days period. Obviously that album (released in October 1991) was the one that was theoretically going to propel the band into the Top 30 and enable them to tour arenas forever. However, hard reality and cold business logic put a stop to that pretty darn quick. The Impact label was swallowed up by a major conglomerate and Southside and the boys were back at square one. Nevertheless, they toured heavily throughout 1992 on both sides of the Atlantic. In Europe alone, they undertook two 26-date tours in the same year. Even though they no longer had a record deal, the Jukes continued to tour (mostly on the east coast) throughout 1993, 1994, 1995 and into 1996, albeit on a lesser scale than in their late seventies heyday. If you missed them, it was probably due to lack of publicity, lack of fanzines, lack of a website. Debbie May's Southside Digest was the only place you could find tour information in those days. If you weren't subscribed, you were on your own. In 1995, Southside also played some acoustic shows in Europe. Firstly as part of a duo with Bobby, then as a quartet with Bobby, Rusty Cloud and David Hayes. They played approximately 30 shows during this time, including a 10-night stand at the Chesterfield Cafe in Paris. The Ruff Stuff EP was first sold on this tour. After a few dates in January and February 1996, Southside did indeed begin an open-ended sabbatical from live performance and put the Jukes on hold. There were many reasons for this, some personal, but it also had a lot to do with disillusionment with the business and the need to take a complete break. This is when he moved to Nashville. There were no more Jukes gigs until late December 1997, when Johnny returned from exile and played a few shows around New Year with a temporary line-up that included Garry Tallent. A new Jukes (with Joe Bellia, Jeff Kazee and Chris Anderson on board) undertook their first summer tour for three years in 1998. Another four-piece acoustic tour (with Southside, Bobby, Rick Schell and Kevin Gordon) of the US and Europe followed in early 1999, after which the full band gradually returned to touring on a regular basis and have been on the road pretty much ever since. In 2000, they returned to the studio to make Messin' With The Blues, their first full-length album in nine years. The Jukes website went online the same year and the album appeared on Southside's own label Leroy. The band were now able to operate independently of the music business and had something of a renaissance. In the summer of 2001, they toured Europe twice (the first time with the horns since 1992) and have returned on an annual basis ever since, while undertaking a full schedule of spring and summer dates at home. The rest is history. So the short answer to the question "where were the Jukes in the nineties?" is "they were on the road most of the time, where were you?" Admittedly, it was often very difficult to find out where they were playing, so you're excused. If you buy a copy of Jukebox, you'll find a detailed Jukes timeline written by yours truly that describes events fom 1975 to 2005 and includes selected dates from each year. We hope to get an expanded version up on the website one day, together with the family tree and all that other historical stuff.

Thanks for you comments, CHEK!
From what I've heard from Mike Saunders, what you said is true, and there was about a 2 year period where South actually did take some time off.
But other than that I would be curious to know which clubs they played and in which cities. At the time, I took a break from R & R to learn about classical music, and I was a bit away from the scene as well. So that is part of the reason for my question.

Peaches , I could be way off base ( imagine that ! ) and I'm sure stronger minds will provide a much more eloquent explanation ; But I have alway's been under the impression that the Jukes took some major time off in the 90's due to the disappointment of lackluster acceptance of Better Day's . With Bruce , Steven , ( et al ) on board I believe Johnny thought he at long last had the " winner " album to push him into mass popularity . It did'nt work out , and it may have been time to look at other options , career wise , and possibly find a new path . ...... I look forward to the discussion that your question should generate here on the board .

A question for Linda T of the internationally famed and fabulous JukeBox Newsletter/Magazine (and anyone else who might have some info).
From 1976 to 1989 I attended a bunch of Jukes concerts. But from 1989 to 2000 I notice that we only saw one show a year, or even less depending on the year.
My question is: What were the Jukes doing during this time, where were they playing and why weren't they in NYC (that I knew of).
Thanks, Linda!

Hi all...The Rock n Roll HOF thread. Yes, Cleveland did lobby very hard, putting up the 65 million dollars. But, there is another story also. Memphis, Cleveland, Cincinnati and NYC were also considered. Cleveland was thought to be the location of the first rock n roll concert. Then there was disc jockey Alan Freed, who was credited with promoting the new music genre and coining the term ROCK N ROLL. USA TODAY also did a poll and Cleveland won out on that. The blues had a baby...and they called it ROCK N ROLL!!
KEEP the smile BIG...The holidays are just around the corner...lets hope for better days without any tears!!!

New York finally gets a piece of the pie
BY ARACELI CRUZ
ROCK, NYC-STYLE
When the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum first opened up in Cleveland in 1993, the reaction was "Cleveland? Why not New York?" (Perhaps Cleveland's offer of $65 million had something to do with it.) But at long last, New Yorkers are finally getting something to wave their devil horns about with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Annex, a 25,000-square-foot outpost of the Cleveland flagship that will house relics from the museum like Bruce Springsteen's 1957 Chevy, John Lennon's Record Plant piano, Elvis Presley's motorcycle jacket, and a handwritten poem by Jim Morrison. The original graffitied phone booth from CBGB's and Johnny Ramone's Mosrite guitar represent New York's punk scene. The main exhibition will be Revolution Rock: The Story of the Clash, which takes an in-depth look into the band's politically infused lyrics and musical experimentation.

CC,
Yes, BB King's is General Admission. If you and your party would like a booth, you'll need at least four people and they must all be present at the same time.
Some people like to begin the evening at Lucille's the lounge/restaurant downstairs and adjacent to BB King's.
