On “The Sweetest Days,” she maintains her formula for great music. Her strengths have always been her ballads. This album is no exception; eight of the 11 tracks are slow love songs. But Williams tries some new tricks. Acoustic guitars are fronted in both “Higher Ground” and “Con stantly.” Strings on the former help make it one of the album’s best songs, but the latter is strictly acous tic and does not work as well. Strings appear on the album with varying success. The wonder ful title track and first single blend them well with a synthesizer, but the strings are not used as well in the Patti Austin cover “You Don’t Have To Say You’re Sorry.” Producer/singer Babyface steps in to write and produce “You Can’t Run” and “Betcha Never.” Both songs are more up-tempo and high light Williams singing in a lower register, reminiscent of her style in Broadway’s 1994 production of “Kiss of the Spider Woman.” The only really disappointing track on this album is “Ellamental,” Williams’ tribute to jazz diva Ella Fitzgerald. The hip-hop track does not suit Williams’ singing. Fans of R&B ballads should be pleased with this album, and with it, Williams should be able to con tinue her successful music career. —Greg Schick The Jon Spencer Blues Explo sion “Orange” Matador Records A Listening to Jon Spencer and his beloved Blues Explosion wail away on their latest effort is like taking a tortured trip through American music’s angriest theme park. But Spencer’s hard-edged con coction of power-chord punk rock and mellow blues makes for one of 1994’s best albums.

Russell Simins and Judah Bauer, the remainder of the Blues Explo sion, provide a solid backing for Spencer with slamming drums, hook-filled guitars and the occa sional background scream. The absence ofbass in this blues band is, to say the least, unique. The guitar takes the place of the typical walking basslines, and Spencer’s growls overshadow any lack ofbass. “Bellbottoms,” the first track, opens with a Shaft-like musical intro, complete with a string sec tion, and then breaks into typical Blues Explosion fare. Additional standout tracks in clude “Ditch,” “Sweat,” “Full Grown” and “Flavor” (which fea tures guest vocals by a former MTV darling, Beck). On “Orange,” Spencer uses the influence of music legends such as James Brown, Muddy Waters and Sid Vicious to create something all his own. —Jeff Randall Billy Frogg’s Continued from Page 9 they do,” he said. The Haymarket is a good location for a restaurant like Billy Frogg’s, Hahn said. “We feel there’s a need for a bar and grill like we have in this area,” he said. Hahn said he hoped the Haymarket would become the restaurant center of Lincoln. He also said the experience for the restourairtgbas-been very >good so far and this reviewer had a great meal with an inexpensive drink and excep tional service. “We’ve gotten a lot of positive comments on the food, drinks, atmo sphere and service,” he said. Billy Frogg’s is open from 11 a.m. until 1 a.m., and offers happy hour specials on Monday through Friday from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. American Heart Association © 1992, American Heart Association Eagles to play rescheduled gig Jan. 28 in Lincoln From Staff Reports The Eagles will come to Lincoln Jan. 28 to make up the show they canceled last fall.

Hurricane Continued from Page 9 but it could be a fad,” Way said. “I’d like to get back to the point where we run live music six nights a week.” But the dance nights provide sup port for local acts, he said. “After people come and see us on free dance nights, they are more likely to come out on the weekend and pay the cover to see a local band,” he said. Josh Woodward, a sophomore ar chitecture major and a Hurricane regu lar, said the Hurricane is proof that Lincoln is growing up. “The intense industrial night is something that I’ve longed for ever since I’ve lived in Lincoln,” he said. Woodward said that he also en joyed going to the Hurricane to see local acts. “The Hurricane has the facility to give the ... local bands that we have here in Lincoln the chance to increase their renown,” he said. Way said the club tried to provide a variety of entertainment so that many types of people fit in. w. “ We’ve got pool tables, darts, what ever people want to do, they can do it even if they just want to sit on a couch and have a beer,” he said. There have been a lot of rumors that the Hurricane is going to close down. Way said. “Lincoln is used to fad clubs open ing up and then boom, they’re gone,” he said. “We’re here to stick it out and let people know that there’s a place to come and watch live music and have a good time. “People around here are too much in a rat,” he said. “They need to see something and hear something new.” FOR SALE 000s 02 05 10 13 Clothing 16 Computers 20 Furniture 30 Jewelry 40 Misc.
