“Jar of Flies”
Alice in Chains
Columbia Records
m
Alice in Chains may have toned
down its style for its new album, but
“Jar of Flies” still has a lot of buzz.
Departing the heavier sounds of
“Facelift” and “Dirt,” “Jar of Hies”
brings out the mellow side of this
Seattle band. Orchestrating their songs
with violin, viola and cello, Alice in
Chains pays a visit to the softer side of
rock.
The laid-back tone of the album is
set with “Rotten Apple,” a long song
that is relaxing as well as energetic
(sort of like a cup of Quaalude coffee).
“Nutshell,” a song with dominant
lyrics, is balanced by the band’s first
instrumental piece, “Whale and
Wasp.” The eerie wailing of the lead
guitar clashes wonderfully with the
buzzing of the bass.
The first release off the album, “No
Excuses,” is a well-orchestrated song
with some great guitar licks. It is Alice
in Chains in true form.
The lyrics are also exemplary of the
band’s creativity and eccentricity.
“Drained and blue/1 bleed for you/ you
think it’s funny, well/ you’re drown
ing in it, too.”
“Don’t Follow” may make hard
core Alice in Chains fans lose hope for
a return to the old grungy ways. This
bluesy piece incorporates the harmon
ica and is slow enough to be mistaken
for a soft R.E.M. tune.
But the final song, “Swing on This,”
has a definite “Dirt” sound to it. One
of the best songs, and by far the heavi
est, it hints that Alice in Chains will
return and that this time the band may
let the flies out of the jar.

“Stone Free”
(A Tribute To Jimi Hendrix)
Various Artists
Reprise Records
The idea for this album, according
toexecutive producer John McDermot,
was “to showcase Jimi Hendrix’s con
tinuing imprint on popular music.”
To accomplish this, McDermot
said, “artists were encouraged to not
only record one of their own personal
favorites, but also to put their stamp
on Jimi’s songs.”
The Cure, for example, have made
$3.00 per day for 15 words on individual student
and student organization ads.
$4.00 per day for 15 words on non-student ads.
$.15 each additional word
$.75 billing charge.

“Purple Haze” uniquely their own.
Robert Smith’s haunting voice com
bines with an industrial beat, some
psychedelic guitar and synths to cre
ate a darker version of the song.
P.M. Dawn revamped “You Got
Me Floatin’” by mixing samples of
Hendrix’s own guitar with a hip-hop
rhythm and their own more polished
brand of vocal harmonies. Pat Metheny
also deserves credit for bringing his
smooth, electronic sound and style to
“Third Stone From The Sun.”
However, most of the performers,
like Eric Clapton, the Spin Doctors
and Living Colour, all do covers sound
ing much like Hendrix’s original ver
sions—which isexactly what’s wrong
with this album. After all, Hendrix’s
material has all been remastered to
compact disc.
This album rates only three notes
— not because of the quality of the
material (which is excellent), but rather
for the lack of imagination on the part
of those artists who, instead of putting
their own twist on Hendrix’s songs,
merely gave us a carbon copy of the
original.

much has been said about our little
latitude of the world — that is, until
Counting Crows came along and de
cided to make a song called (sorry all
you Lincolnites) “Omaha.”
On their release, “August and Ev
erything After,” Counting Crows fly
through with a sound of dedication
and harmonious emotion. Groovy
songs with a hometown feel mixed
with songs about loss and solitude
make “August” an album that will run
the charts longer than a month.
With heartfelt lyrics by singer-lyr
icist Adam Duritz, “Omaha” defines
the essence of the heartland: “Omaha
... Somewhere in the middle of Amer
ica/ Get right to the heart of matters/
It’s the heart that matters more/ I
think you better turn your ticket in/
And get your money back at the door.”
Duritz’s voice is soothing, almost
resonating, but powerful. The unique
use of Charlie Gillingham on organ
and accordion gives the songs a twist.
It’s an emotional album that shows
a lot of pain and confusion while
providing songsofhappiness and hope.
It’s an album made by those friends
of yours who hang out in the basement
and jam above the noise of the water
heater. OK, so maybe they recorded
this album in their living room in Los
Angeles, but they acknowledge the
heartland. Somewhere between the
ocean and the prairie. Counting Crows
could nest in any home across the
nation.
