Artemis Pyle Band - A.P.B.
1982 Housekeeping
Artemis Pyle Band
A.P.B.
Genre: Rock w/Southern Flavor
3.25 out of 5
Highlights:
Town to Town
Don’t Know Her Name
Requisite 80s Cover: A honky tonk version of “Maybelline” that is ultimately unnecessary and, while I’m sure it went over well at BBQs and beer fests, it pales to the rockabilly that has been set forth at this time.
Drummers in the 80s…they all got record deals, huh? Here’s the latest. The drummer for Skynrd. I assume that the label figured there was some “Jessica” magic to be spread around from that group.
What it comes across like is a .38 Special clone.
Since Darryl Smith is credited on most of these songs and is the primary vocalist I imagine this record deal was in place to capitalize on the Skynrd name.
There are some neat little licks here. And John Boerstler employees them with deference and aplomb. And the only track written by Pyle, “Make Some Rock”, shows more life than I expected.
