Blood Chili Records plays Fat Possum on Walter Daniels' Trashcan Parade, six of the disc's nine tracks graffitied by the Red River harp-cat. Daniels' trash-can vocals and rusty lid honk meets Chili Cold Blood's stone cold blues drang and whittles out snappies like "Mystery Beer" and the Punkaroos' "Police Record, Boy." DIY constrains most production budgets, which no doubt accounts for Trashcan's sonic mulch, the harp-off between Daniels and Ted Roddy on "Groovy Gravy" begging for a forefront mix like Duane Allman and Dickey Betts. Lyrics to the Lubitsch/Wilder punk of "Ninotchka" sputter unintelligible, while the title track, unwavering in its solid steel, would've breached the levee through a boost in sonic density. Ditto for closing instrumental "Skanky," like its predecessor co-written with Chili Cold Blood. Chow down.
