GREEN ON RED

DAN STUART, CHRIS CACAVAS, JACK WATERSON, ALEX MAC NICOL, CHUCK PROPHET

Rootsy Arizona band of the 1980s bridged the gap between 1960s country-folk-rock and 1990s alt-country. 

Always wary of their paisley underground tag, it was only Green on Red's early works 

that leaned on the psychedelic sounds of the '60s before they traded it in for a boozy, 

all-American sound. They have been credited as latter-day forbears to the No Depression 

sound forged by Wilco and Son Volt. Singer and songwriter Dan Stuart, 

Chris Cacavas (keyboards), and Jack Waterson (bass) formed their first group 

in Tucson, AZ, in 1979. After the band relocated to L.A., drummer Alex MacNicol

 joined up and Green on Red released their debut EP

"GAS FOOD LODGING"

Much like their pals the Dream Syndicate, Green on Red used up nearly all their psychedelic influences early on, and 1985's Gas Food Lodging found Dan Stuart and company veering into country-inflected roots rock that dovetailed nicely with the populist themes Stuart had begun to explore in his lyrics. Opening with "That's What Dreams," a tough but moving first-person tale of a working man struggling to hold on to his dignity, Gas Food Lodging takes a long look at the sometimes-fractured state of the American psyche during the Reagan years, as seen through the eyes of a low-budget rock band out on the road. Of course, Dan Stuart's America is populated by drunks, losers, drifters, and psychopaths, but there's a genuine measure of compassion in his portrayal of this collection of lost souls, and this lineup of the band -- with Chuck Prophet IV on guitar and Chris Cacavas on organ -- created evocative music that added depth and detail to Stuart's grubby vision. Gas Food Lodging set a template for the music Green on Red would make in the future, but they rarely hit their targets as squarely as they did here; there's an emotional weight and a ring of truth to this material that missing from much of the band's later work, and while closing with "We Shall Overcome" might seem like an especially obvious gesture, through sheer bloodshot sincerity this band makes it work -- and makes it genuinely moving. Gas Food Lodging is too loose and deliberately ramshackle to support the title of masterpiece, but calling it Green on Red's best album will do nicely...(AllMusic)
