Review

Combining a rock-solid Fairport Convention-like musical base with sterling vocals and songs, Bareback is an album that extends and undermines the British folk tradition in a fascinating manner. The Hank Dogs are not only the year's most promising folk groups; they're responsible for one of '99's outstanding debuts, regardless of genre. --Steven StolderOne has to wonder if the name of this South London trio has anything to do with Sam Peckinpah's bloody pastorale Straw Dogs. As with Peckinpah's 1971 film, the idyllic and malevolent walk hand in tightly clenched hand. The group, which consists of a woman who goes by the name of Piano; her ex-husband (and, apparently, a very obscure former Sex Pistol), Andy; and his daughter (by another woman), Lily. Musically, this slanted clan creates a sound that hearkens back to classic Brit-folk of the Fairport Convention persuasion; from the stately opening track, "Lucky Break," it's apparent the Hank Dogs do what they do with true skill. The second song, "18 Dogs," indicates they aren't interested in simply blending pretty sounds and pleasant notions. Here the singer eyes strangers approaching her remote home, where a pack of dogs and an M16 await the menacing intruders. "I'll take the greatest of pleasure in watching you torn limb from limb," Piano intones with the dispassion one might bring to a chat about the weather. That's hardly the last disquieting moment on this eye-opening entrée. It's rare when a group comes along that's capable of both enriching and undermining a genre of music. The Hank Dogs appear to be ready, willing, and able. --Steven Stolder
