The dry, dusty, and rambling sound that became 's trademark isn't much in evidence on 's debut album, 1985's Valley of Rain. Instead, this early edition of the band recalls the distaff branch of the Paisley Underground scene that was still a big part of the Los Angeles scene when arrived there from Tuscon, as if were the oddball high desert cousins of. Valley of Rain is tougher and scrappier than much of what would release later on, and it rocks noticeably harder, though 's sense of lyrical wanderlust is very much evident here, and even when the guitars wind up and the drums crack, the melodies drift on and off path with an expressive glee. The band's slightly warped country influences are all but invisible here (perhaps because and his pals were cutting a Blacky Ranchette album around the same time), and Valley of Rain sounds more sharply focused than the typical album. And his partners -- bassist Scott Garber and drummers Tom Larkins and Winston A. -- sound admirably tight and together, considering this lineup fell together at the last minute before these sessions began, and the album was recorded on the fly for a mere four hundred bucks.
Valley of Rain isn't classic, but it's a strong and confident starting point and it has weathered the test of time rather well: 'Tumble and Tear,' 'Down on Town,' and 'Death, Dying and Channel 5' are forceful and idiosyncratic rockers, while 'Artists' and 'October, Anywhere' give a clue to where would go in the future. In a long journey full of fascinating detours along the way, 's first album was a rocking pit stop that's lively, smart, and full of nerve. ~ Mark Deming.
