IAN SINCLAIR reviews albums by Adam's House Cat, Dawn Landes and Frontperson

Adam’s House Cat
Town Burned Down
(ATO Records)
★★★★

RECORDED in 1990, Town Burned Down by Adam’s House Cat — Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley’s first band on their way to forming Southern Rock legends Drive-By Truckers — now gets its official release.

Remixed by David Barbe with Hood writing all the lyrics and re-recording the vocals, it’s a hard-rocking, raw and urgent album.

Dawn Landes
Meet Me At The River
(Yep Roc)
★★★★


Frontperson
Frontrunner
(Oscar St Records)
★★★
