Afghan Whigs/The Twilight Singers
Comment:
Whether with the Afghan Whigs, Twilight Singers, or Gutter Twins, Greg Dulli has soaked up the influence of everything from Motown to psychedelia. The Whigs worked their way into one of power-pop heroes Big Star’s most moving tunes, giving equal attention to both the darkness and the dreaminess of “Nightime.” They amped up the drama and desperation — not to mention the guitars — of the Supremes’ smash “My World Is Empty Without You,” and turned their Cincinnati pals the Ass Ponys’ delirious, disturbing “Mr. Superlove” from an edgy lo-fi lope into creepy front-porch folk-rock. Even on his own, Dulli manages to update original freak-folkie Skip Spence’s 1969 “Dixie Peach Promenade” without losing an ounce of its off-kilter charm.
