The Pleasure Barons may be about musical slumming, but not at the sacrifice of musical self-respect. Nonsense aside, there is some pretty sharp playing throughout the album. This would-be ayatollah of pop can be heard proclaiming the central tenet of his personal faith: "Elvis Is Everywhere," or leveling claims against famous singers he can't stand: "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant With My Two-Headed Love Child" and "Don Henley Must Die." True dementia sets in when Nixon takes over, singing, as is his wont, like a refugee from a Crazy Eddie commercial. Country Dick sings low-down like Johnny Cash, only with a salacious streak. Alvin, the ex-Blaster and highly respected songwriter, is the more or less straight man, leading the Barons through zesty blues and rockin' country numbers. HighTone Records recently released "Live in Las Vegas," a concert album documenting the Pleasure Barons' first go-round. It just sounded like too much fun to resist, so I'm on." The tour will encompass 17 concerts in the West today through March 29. I don't know (what those other things are) because I didn't ask. "He said this could possibly ruin your career, and other things, too. "He gave me all the appropriate warnings," Moffatt recalled. Moffatt says Alvin, an old friend, called to recruit her-and to caution her about the risks of Baronial living. Maybe it's the experience of having lost a key player the last time out that prompted the Pleasure Barons to enlarge their starting rotation. The first edition of the Barons actually encountered the freshman jinx: Part way through the tour, Alvin contracted meningitis and wound up in the hospital-a setback he attributes to having shared a drink backstage with the wrong person. They play Friday, March 12, at the Rhythm Cafe in Santa Ana.
The supporting cast includes guitarist Joey Harris, a member of Country Dick's full-time band, the Beat Farmers drummer Mike Middleton from Nixon's band, the Toadliquors keyboards player Rick Solem, from Alvin's band trombone/steel guitar man Tim Cook, and sax player Johnny Viau. Or maybe they're just going by that old baseball adage, "You never can have too much pitching." In any case, where the first version of the Pleasure Barons was fronted by three well-known Southern California roots-rockers of varying degrees of serious musical intent, the featured Barons and Baronesses now number six. "Double your pleasure, double your fun" seems to be the operating strategy for the Pleasure Barons as they return to court the sophomore jinx, staging another large-ensemble revue of rock, roots music and ribaldry.

The quality and levels changed a little bit here and there but problems were minimized and I hope you will enjoy this one as much as I do! I have it rated Vg-Ex, but please check the samples to get an idea of the sound for yourself. This one turned out to be more work than I had hoped for due to an intermittent microphone cable in the second half of the show that caused problems that were mostly seamlessly repaired by pasting in from the good channel and then using gradual pans from stereo to mono and back.
