Like a hillbilly genie slithering her way through a jukebox of Delta blues and backwoods country, Melissa Swingle puts Chapel Hill, North Carolina's Trailer Bride on her back and carries Whine de Lune, the band's third effort. Swingle's voice is a confident, slurring drawl, and her multi-instrumental arrangements (banjo, mandolin, harmonica, even a saw) are tightly wound around hook-filled pop, slow acoustic waltzes, and bold hints of gospel. With a playful seriousness, Swingle spins tale after Deep South tale of railroads, after-hours dancers, and the simplest of pleasures. And just as she slithers her way back into the bottle, you're bellying up and asking for another shot. --Scott Holter

Album Description

On "Whine De Lune", Trailer Bride have perfected their spooky, stompy, swampy country; the kind of sound that could only come out of North Carolina. With her high-lonesome warble, and trademark slide-guitar mojo, Melissa Swingle sings sweet songs of love, but also delivers the goods to satisfy your sociopath buddies down in the Bloodshot bunker. This time around they add some fresh sounding psychedelic era guitar fuzz, clunky banjos and the requisite creepy saw playing.

Simply Amazing.......2003-09-02

I will not bore you with a lot of details, rather let me simply say this:

I own over 10,000 cd's and 1,500 vinyl records. Whine De Lune was my favorite release of 1999 (yes, I think it was the best record released that year).

Trailer Bride's sound is truly unique. I don't think it could be duplicated, but if you wanted to try, do this. In a blender add one scoop Southern Culture on the Skids, one scoop Velvet Underground, one scoop trailer trash and one scoop woman scorned. Blend well, pour and enjoy.

I have seen Trailer Bride and they are awesome.

Rock on Trailer Bride.

Spooky alternative country - way off the mainstream.......2002-07-30

Trailer Bride's sound is described (on their record company website) as spooky, stompy, swampy country of the kind of sound that could only come out of North Carolina. I'm not going to argue with that.

Lead singer Melissa Swingle (who also wrote all the songs) has a very distinctive warbling style. She sings love songs, but there are also songs about snakes and strippers, not exactly your everyday subjects for songs. There have been songs about such matters before - Charley Pride began his career with a song called The snakes crawl at night, while Kenny Rogers did a great song about a stripper (Scarlet fever) on his We've got tonight album, and there are probably others - so there are precedents.

Although this band comes in the category of alt-country, it isn't even like (say) Neko Case or Kelly Hogan's Pine Valley Cosmonauts. Their music, while different from the mainstream, can at least be compared to it, as there are some similarities. This band is not like anything I've ever heard before. Reading the other reviews, it seems to be a universal opinion.

So, you either buy blind as I did (something I usually get away with, because of my eclectic tastes), or you hear enough of their music to be sure this is what you want.

Great alt-country.......2002-03-06

My husband says TB sounds like the house band for some country graveyard, and he's got a point. These songs are haunting combos of country, bluegrass and something not altogether defineable. Reminds me a bit of the Mekons, a little of early rootsy bands like the Tarbox Ramblers and a little of nothing else I've ever heard. Definitely worth a listen.

Singer Songwriter= great. Rest of band= lousy.......2001-07-07

The singing and songwriting are great. Very unique without consciously trying to be "different". A genuine unique voice. However!!, this "band" is not even passable. They sound as (in) competent as kidswhen they are first learning their instruments at say 12 -13 years old. Truly, it is unfortunate, the songs are great and I believe this band could be succesful, but the bass licks and drumming in particular are atrocious. mot even in time , there is simply no coherence or "pop" when they need it. no consistency. they sound like they just picked up instruments to be in a band. sad for a very promising lead singer/songwriter..get a REAL band!!

Worthwhile for some new studio recordings.......1999-10-06

The first part of this album is cut from a Scorn concert in Rome and features tracks that have already appeared on the album "Zander". Well, although I'm really a fan of drummer Mick Harris, I must confess Scorn live isn't very interesting. There are no surprises, and Mick showed only little effort, because he didn't perform tracks with complicated rhythm patterns like "Wreck shop" (from "Zander"). The whole affair rather has the feel of a bootleg record, because the stereo balance is slightly shifted to the left channel and the sound sometimes is distorted. The second part of this cd contains four new studio recordings. All in all, "Whine" is a bit superficial, and you'd be better off with buying "Zander".

Possibly the best and most consistent Skyclad album.......2004-01-22

This is probably my favorite Skyclad album, due to the fact that there are no real duds on it. Most other Skyclad albums are plagued by a couple unmemorable songs, but this one can be listened to all the way through.

A few of the songs do stand out for me: Bury Me, Silver Cloud's Dark Lining, On With Their Heads, Little Miss Take, and Vintage Whine. The others are good as well, but almost verge on the side of being too consistent (and perhaps a tad monotonous). If this album just had a couple songs replaced by Polkageist from FOLKEMON and Single Phial from ANSWER MACHINE, it would be the PERFECT Skyclad album.

A must buy for Skyclad fans, and a decent place to get started for new fans. For those looking for a little more of a thrashy, less-folky Skyclad sound, check out their hard-to-find first 5 albums, or OLD ROPE (a collection from those albums). The transition albums were great as well, albeit with poor production and mixing: OUI AVANT GUARD A LA CHANCE and IRRATIONAL ANTHEMS. These 2 albums also had some wonderful songs, but a few duds as well. Happy hunting.

superb folk metal!.......2000-08-17

I don't understand why Skyclad is so hard to get in the U.S., considering that they are one of the premier metal bands of the decade. "Vintage Whine" is their ninth full-length release and features a return to a heavier sound similar to that found on "Irrational Anthems." The CD suffers slightly in the production department, the vocals sounding strangely muffled at times, especially on the song "On with Their Heads!"

Nevertheless, this is an essential album for fans of progressive, Celtic, and folk metal/rock. With a full-time fiddler plying her seductive melodies, sardonic and witty lyrics, and some of Skyclad's catchiest songwriting, this album is one of the top ten metal releases of 1999. Compelling power-metal stompers "The Silver Cloud's Dark Lining" and "Cancer of the Heart" are set off by ballad "A Well Beside the River" and jig-compatible "Little Miss Take." Extraordinary fun!
