Back in 1991, I worked at a small, independent record store in DeKalb, IL known as Record Revolution. It was a great time to work in a record store; so many bands released seminal records that year. I mean, Metallica put out their Black Album, Nirvana released Nevermind, My Bloody Valentine launched their masterpiece Loveless, and the list goes on.
That record store moved from a smaller strip mall spot to a larger one, and while we were moving bins, I found a Clockhammer CD (Klinefelter) promo under one of them. Literally slipped through the cracks. My first run-through had me scratching my head. Were they rock? Alternative? Jazz? This smooth-yet-frequently-heavy power trio from Nashville didn't fit into any of the genres of the day.
Well, they're still in my regular rotation after all these years. Maybe fitting a genre isn't as important as just making the music in your head.
Here are a couple of samples of their songs:
And a link to a site where their final album is available for download:
