Living Between The Lines - Frank Meyer (Kitten Robot)
Hello Barflies! Have I got a ripper album for you...“Living Between The Lines” is the first Frank Meyer solo album and it is a wonderful record
Frank, of course, is a founding member of The Streetwalkin Cheetahs, and guitarist for Handsome Dick Manitoba (ex-The Dictators), legendary LA punk band Fear, and vocalist for James Williamson (Iggy and the Stooges) in James Williamson & The Pink Hearts.
His other bands include Spaghetti & Frank, Trading Aces, Highway 61, Sweet Justice, and Thor. So he has lots of form.
“Living Between The Lines” has some kick arse tunes and some fabulous guest appearances. Eddie Spaghetti (Supersuckers) turns up on the rocker, “Partners In Crime”. Lisa Kekaula, the fabulous voice and frontwoman from The BellRays is on board. Cherie Curry (The Runnaways) also helps out.
Ms Curry’s performance on,a beautifully sung “Piece Of Met” is pure gold
There’s plenty more great orignals to take in: “Baby Dynamite” and “Family Tree” have some great riffs. “Dead Of Winter” shows Frank’s love of a good country song. “Dreaming In Stereo” is a groovy tune, showcasing some wonderful musicianship. There are so many good songs here, folks, that I can’t speak highly enough of this album.
As for “Blue Radio” and “This Dirty Town”: Both need playing loud. In fact, the whole album deserves to be blasted out of your speakers, for that matter.
“Living Between The Lines” is available on Bandcamp and comes as a download, CD or LP. And The Streetwalkin’ Cheetahs are about to release a Best Of their covers CD. It’s worth checking out also, because it’s fucking brilliant.
Well Barflies, it’s been a while, so take care see ya on the road.
6 BEERS please Barman
