Green On Red - Here Come The Snakes (expanded)

Didn't even know this was in the works. Reissue of Here Come The Snakes plus a 2nd CD of outtakes that are easily the equal of the original album.

Here Come The Snakes was a Green On Red comeback of sorts after they bottomed out with a major label. Dan Stuart and Chuck Prophet headed to Memphis and enlisted Jim Dickinson and Rene Coman (Alex Chilton's bassist) in the band. The resulting album is the lost gem in the Green On Red discography.

Produced by Jim Dickinson and Joe Hardy, Dan Stuart and Chuck Prophet finally cracked the Memphis sound by steeping themselves in the environment and surrounding themselves with the musicians who made their name there. From the get-go, Prophet's guitar is the cornerstone to the Let It Bleed mood that fires this record from "Keith Can't Read" throughout, though it ends up with the very Neil Young-like "D.T. Blues."

4 stars out of 5 - SNAKES sounds better than ever - like a mystic missing link between TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT and EXILE ON MAIN STREET.

I should probably check this out, although Green on Red is hit & miss for me. But when it hits, they are awfully damn good. I still think it's a shame that the best thing they ever did in my estimation was the No Free Lunch EP, just because that seemed like their peak and its not much material.
