Music reviews of In the Land of Salvation & Sin
Music Review: A hidden treasure
Rating: 5 Stars
In the Land of Salvation and Sin would be the third and final album the Georgia Satellites would release before their breakup in 1989. While their self-titled debut would be very successful and spawn their biggest hit with "Keep Your Hands To Yourself", they suffered from the sophomore slump when their next album Open All Night contained few memorable songs and bombed upon its release. Having lost their momentum, In the Land of Salvation and Sin suffered the same fate as its predecessor and would ultimately lead to the band's demise. However, the few that bought the album would find a diamond in the rough as it showed a quantum leap in Dan Baird's songwriting abilities as well as a musical diversity that was absent from their previous releases. Thus, In the Land of Salvation and Sin has become one of the great lost albums in rock history, only appreciated by the few fans that purchased it.
Every track here is very good with a few being among their best. "Days Gone By", "Six Years Gone", and the cover of Joe South's "Games People Play" are all great songs, containing memorable choruses you could sing along to. "Shake That Thing" is an awesome tribute to the late Lowell George, sounding like an updated version of Little Feat's "Fat Man In The Bathtub." The mid-tempo tracks "Bottle O' Tears", "Crazy", and "Bring Down the Hammer" continue in the Lowell George tradition with extensive slide guitar from Baird and guitarist Rick Richards. The fast-paced rockers "I Dunno", "Slaughterhouse", and the relentless "Dan Takes Five" show that the band hasn't abandoned the hard rocking spirit of their first two albums. However, there are three tracks that truly make this album a hidden treasure. "Sweet Blue Midnight" is a tender country ballad featuring great vocals from Baird and special guest Nicolette Larson. "Another Chance" is one of those great acoustic songs you can imagine a bunch of your friends singing around a campfire on a hot summer night. Finally, there's the most well-known track, the mid-tempo "All Over But The Cryin'." One of the all-time great breakup songs, it's arguably the best song Dan Baird ever wrote. If this were released on country radio today, it would be a huge hit. All told, In the Land of Salvation and Sin shows that the Georgia Satellites had a lot more to offer than just "Keep Your Hands To Yourself." Highly recommended.
