Building on the grungy roots of the band’s self-titled debut, the second album was more confident and refined, with songwriter Tim Rutili’s impressionistic lyrics hovering over twangy steel guitars, thick fuzzbox riffs, and barroom drums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eProduced by Brad Wood (Liz Phair, That Dog, Sunny Day Real Estate), the record finds the band (Rutili, Brian Deck, Glenn Girard, and Tim Hurley) moving away from the thrashing noise of the first record into more nuanced territory, maintaining its menacing swagger but injecting more space into songs like \u003cem\u003eMoon Calf Tripe\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLather\u003c\/em\u003e, swinging harder on opener \u003cem\u003eFlank\u003c\/em\u003e and the anthemic \u003cem\u003eBall\u003c\/em\u003e, and pushing into blues and reconfigured roots rock with \u003cem\u003eDowser\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eComes\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMuch of the album’s classic feel was informed by bands like the Rolling Stones and the Faces, a “favorite kind of music for Tim Rutilli,” says drummer and organist Brian Deck. “It was his writing that pulled things in that direction, and it was probably his writing and ambition to be different from that that ultimately drove [the band] toward being esoteric and experimental,” eventually morphing into Califone in the late ‘90s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eInformed by classic rock and blues, the album also benefits from Deck’s musical training and approach.

The record was the work of an invigorated, young, and hungry band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“I remember [the album] mattering more to me than anything else in the world when we were doing it,” Deck says. “It’s a sensation that you have as a young artist. You tend to not have that the older you get. But it was the most important thing that had ever happened to me in my life when we were working on it. That was an awesome thing.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• Recut as a double LP for increased fidelity \u003cbr\u003e• Contains 4 additional tracks, 2 heard here for the first time. \u003cbr\u003e• Includes code for digital download of the entire record.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Red Meat","offers":[{"title":"2xLP","offer_id":53403381858671,"sku":"cxd1788118243805","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/0169\/2271\/files\/jimmywine-majestic-2015-reissue_1.jpg?v=1788118247","url":"https:\/\/www.brightcedar.shop\/products\/jimmywine-majestic-2015-reissue","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
