CORIN TUCKER BAND – “Kill My Blues” LP

 I picked this album up when I saw them play at the Firebird last fall but wasn’t able to review it until now due to time and space issues.  On her second album since her family related hiatus, Corin and company deliver a batch of powerful melodic rock blending passionate high energy guitars with often bittersweet elements at points.  Songs range from the title track’s introspective yet driving rocker to more introspective moody tracks that reference topics ranging from the lack of progress women have made to love and loss to growing up and the like.  More raucous than their debut, Kill My Blues is part party record and part catharsis as Corin and company deliver some heartfelt songs that up the energy level and at times almost demand that you move.  It’s been out for a while but I really recommend getting this album.  (BOONE)
