EDITORIAL REVIEWS
A quarter-century or so after achieving his highest profile as frontman for L.A.'s Dream Syndicate, Steve Wynn continues to show that there's life beyond the Paisley Underground. His recent work represents the best music of his career, as he forges a vibrant fusion of hardcore punk (the opening "Wired" has the raw intensity of the Stooges) with the hard-boiled literary strains evoked by his lyrics. "Cindy, It Was Always You" even finds him collaborating with master crime novelist (and longtime Wynn fan) George Pelecanos, for a song with the sort of unreliable narrator that suggests Randy Newman fronting a garage band. Life's lessons and classic craftsmanship both inform "Turning of the Tide" and "Bruises," with the expansively majestic "The Deep End" providing the CD with a seven-minute centerpiece. Wynn's music has long owed a debt to the Velvet Underground and Neil Young's Crazy Horse, and with music this ambitious and assured, the debt has been well repaid. --Don McLeese
