Show Business Giants: Let's Have a Talk With the Dead

1995, Essential Noise/Virgin/EMI 7243 8 35300 21

Comments

On this album, at least, the Show Business Giants are a motley crew drawn from many other bands. The main connection to Jr. is the presence of Ford Pier (also formerly of Roots Roundup and now with DOA). Carolyn Mark also appears on a few songs. One song, She Called Me Pete, was co-written by Ford and Mike McDonald.

The album has 18 tracks and almost as many styles, from punk to country to spoken word rant to '50s-style rock and roll to surf to metal....
