Review

Following the success of Golden Smog's second release, Down by the Old Mainstream, Rykodisc has managed to reissue this 1992 debut EP (originally released on the now-defunct Crackpot Records). Unlike their later release, this disc contains no originals. Rather it is filled with five unlikely covers ranging from Bad Company's "Shooting Star" to Thin Lizzy's "Cowboy Song." This early lineup features the best the Twin Cities had to offer--Dan Murphy (Soul Asylum), Gary Louris and Marc Perlman (the Jayhawks), Craig Johnson (Run Westy Run), and Chris Mars (the Replacements)--all billed under Golden Smog pseudonyms, of course. While it doesn't resonate with any majestic brilliance, On Golden Smog sounds remarkably like five friends jamming over a few cases of beer, which, according to legend, is how Golden Smog came to be. It's not heavy. It's not deep. It's just a lot of fun. --Bill Snyder
