"Say Goodnight To The World" DAX RIGGS

Dax Riggs

"Say Goodnight To The World"

Fat Possum

2010

This LP falls almost perfectly into Riggs' wheelhouse.  Still intensely blues influenced with that unmistakeable style he encompasses so well.  "Say Goodnight..." picks up where "...Blood or Love" left off, this time with more emphasis on complete song structure.  The backing band does a fantastic job of flooding the tracks with lots of delays and psychedelic drug-drenched guitars, thus capturing the essence that is "Say Goodnight to the World".  Standout tracks for me include probably the BEST cover I personally have ever heard, "Heartbreak Hotel", "Grave Dirt On My Blue Suede Shoes", and the more raucous, "Let Me Be Your Cigarette", round out what is yet another stellar effort from New Orleans' best crooner, DAX RIGGS.  Enjoy.

"We Sing of Only Blood or Love"

Fat Possum

2007

We Sing of Only Blood or Love, is Dax Riggs' first album under his given name, sounds much like his work with his previous project Deadboy and The Elephant Men and with has a rad Misfits/Samhain vibe going at times.  Sonically this record is pretty tame. From punk rock anthems such as "Wall of Death" to, in my honest opinion the best track on the LP, the almost dance worthy song entitled "Ghost Movement".  The man just has too much soul.  Period.  Not that Acid Bath wasn't an amazing metal/sludge band.  Dax Riggs has an incredibly unique way of getting the blues across and does he ever.  He's seen his fair share.  Welcome to Dax Riggs' nightmare party!

Here's a taste....of "Ghost Movement"
