[Music] Them Crooked Vultures

I have three names for you: John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age).

Now you probably understand. I am talking about Them Crooked Vultures which combines that rock and roll trio and results in thirteen tracks of goodness. I’m not a detailed music reviewer so here is a great review in The Washington Post which includes:

This is a trans-generational supergroup that’s earned its “super.” Vultures’ singer-guitarist Josh Homme leads Queens of the Stone Age; Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl reprises drummer duties from his days in Nirvana; and bassist John Paul Jones once laid the bedrock for the mighty Led Zeppelin.

The trio does not disappoint. Them Crooked Vultures’ self-titled debut is churning with neoclassical rock-and-roll, summoning the heaviest qualities of Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Cream and Iron Butterfly.

Guitars crunch, drums pummel and songs sprawl for minutes on end, creating a brawny ambiance that approaches unimpeachabililty.

It’s really worth it. Here it is at Amazon. Only $7.99. Below is “Mind Eraser (No Chaser)” and the track list.
