Music reviews of Sonoran Hope & Madness

Music Review: Una Soda, Por Favor?
Rating: 5 Stars

Since the dissolution of his previous band, The Refreshments, Roger Clyne has taken a more adult approach to his music, while still retaining the sense of humor and fun that made The Refreshments such a success. One of the pioneers of the Tempe, Arizona "salsa rock" scene, a form of pop-rock-country heavily influenced by sounds from across the Mexican border, Clyne chose the Peacemakers as his new musical outlet, buddy-ing up with another former Refreshment, a former Gin Blossom, and two members of Dead Hot Workshop. Their first album, Honky Tonk Union, was a best-seller on the Internet sales chart, and became a favorite at independent music stores across the US.

Clyne's world, which admittedly sounds like a fun place to visit, is chock-full of Tequila drinking contests, cactus-covered deserts, tender cowboy stalkers, and tragic Mexican heroes. It's a theme continued on Sonoran Hope and Madness, the latest CD from Clyne and Company, and their second studio-produced album. With firecracker bookends and an eye towards the worldly ("Colorblind Blues"), Sonoran Hope shows a sense of maturity developed by living life, but more importantly, choosing it. Perennial live favorite track "The Ballad of Lupe Montosa" makes its studio debut here, and Clyne returns to a bit of his pop-rock sensibilities on "Better Beautiful Than Perfect."

Although none of the songs stand out as catchy radio singles, that's a good thing; fans of The Peacemakers will say that the only way to experience the band is live, and studio-produced CDs lose a lot of the energy that made Clyne famous in the Tempe scene. Radio singles doomed The Refreshments, and The Peacemakers have taken a sagacious high road in refusing record deals from major labels to keep true to their original spirit and sound. In a world marked by musical cynicism, boy-band mania, and Britney Spears movies, it's refreshing to know that artists like Clyne and his band still remember what the sounds are all about. While not Beethoven, The Peacemakers offer the same kind of originality and quality that is the mark of all artists who love their craft above all else.
