In the wake of a confusing and bitter divorce from his band of many decades, former Cheap Trick drummer Bun E. Carlos has put together his first solo album. Carlos (born Brad Carlson) doesn’t sing, and he’s not a songwriter. What he is, instead, is a drummer of thundering intensity and impeccable taste. He also has a pretty ace record collection at home; that collection informs his choice of covers here: an obscure Who<\/strong> <\/a>single (previously covered to good effect by Sugar<\/strong>), a terrific Paul Revere and the Raiders cover (\u201cHim or Me\u201d), and an early Van Morrison<\/strong> tune from his days with Them<\/strong> (\u201cI Can Only Give You Everything\u201d). Guests \u2013 or front-people \u2013 include Robert Pollard<\/strong>, Hanson<\/strong>, Carlos’ Candy Golde<\/strong><\/a> bandmate Nicholas Tremulis<\/strong><\/a>, Alejandro Escovedo<\/strong> and even Xeno<\/strong>, the original lead vocalist in Cheap Trick before Robin Zander joined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
