[treesloth9]

[treesloth9]

hey tinman 

[Aheavysigh]

Great to find these again - That album was class..... Funny.... I did some graffitti "Wall Of Voodoo" .... I was caught bang to rights as I was the only person any one knew who liked them!! ooopppsss

[sawoffleg]

awesome band, classic songwriting, underrated !

[BudRon65]

Another great WOV song. Unfortunate that if anyone does remember them, they only remember Mexican Radio. Oh & 2 people are just completely lost.

[adyfriar]

Stan played solo at Coventry Polytechnicin 86, because i was the only one at the front who knew his songs he pulled me up on stage to do Mexican Radio with him, absolute class night

[DuranFan09]

Sounds like Japan.

[sheriffofmalibu]

Saw at 688 Club in Atlanta on this tour - love WoV.

[maritimashipyard]

Wonderful to hear again, i got the vinyl :)

[viewmanator]

I've listened to this whole album once a day since I 1st got it on vinyl, wore out a couple of cassettes till it was released on CD, and closing in on 30 years later I'm down to once a week. I'm going to lowball an estimate of at least 5000 times... Then comes the Repo Man soundtrack, but that's another story. The fact that Stan is still making great music makes up for the loss of Hunter S. Thompson.

[cwmiller2006]

the best laid plans often...go away

[smithefx1]

i always thought this epic album was a like a rock opera...it tells a story.

[davo2003hd]

@smithefx1 you are correct !

[ScottAln05]

Stan's best vocals. No embellishment, just straight up letting the song sing itself. So many great WOV songs. Many where he used a staccato rhythm (Mexican Radio, Factory) or sing-songy quality (Camouflage) which entertained, but this song rests on the listener like a blanket and stays with you.

[halfcabdisaster7]

Call of the West had such a great atmosphere, dark, melancholy, and mysterious without making me feel depressed.

[southguy99]

Stan the ultimate story teller, god bless you man

[ProfessorLoco]

Too bad the record companies won't support real music like this anymore. More POP TRASH...or we can enjoy the good uploads there. THANKS A MILLION!!

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

This is soo kool!~!

[dazbishop]

I saw them with Bow wow wow at 6 flags over Georgia.

[Uderaj72]

Just love em'

[TheHeidiidieh]

the stranglers sometimes did songs like this .... too slow and clean (vs muddled) for most of the modern youth , part of the darker parts of many of our pasts . great music , but unfortunately i havent seen a store with any cds from them for a very , very long time.

[LandoftheShanks]

love it. i have a crapton of wall of voodoo songs they all rock!!!!!!

[shawn33445]

Rock solid ...

[3144541]

ΤΟΣΑ ΧΑΜΕΝΑ ΣΑΒΒΑΤΟΚΥΡΙΑΚΑ...

ΜΑ ΚΑΝΕΝΑ ΣΑΝ ΚΙ ΑΥΤΟ!!!

[Cylindrique32]

All simply wonderful

[themanwithxrayeyes]

My top 3 records of the last 30 years:

1 - Closer - Joy Division

2 - Call of the West - Wall of Voodoo

3 - Movement - New Order

This song is so amazing, always think I'm drving along route 66 when I listen to this.

[dirtygirlof76]

I can't stand most of the drum machine bands. But WOV is one of my exceptions.

[timber7676]

Are You Kidding! Joe Nanini (drummer for WoV) was noted for his drum and beat skills!

[ccfrahm]

Ohhh Sooo Mellow... and Cool......

[ccfrahm]

Ohhh Sooo Mellow... and Cool......

[TheFelixtrivi]

Buenisimo.

[VeraRabbit]

Sounds like a good weekend to me.

[AndiNeverSlice]

this song would be perfect for a cohen bro's film, or maybe d lynch

[ScottAln05]

Masterpiece.

[sofiaivonel]

thank you for posting this :)

[desmoface]

Great song; thanks for posting

[evilunixuser1]

can't help it, but this song reminds me of first being married living in a trailer park

[chewbacca67]

Magnifique chanson, groupe incroyable au style unique, indémodable et anachronique.....

[tomi4franki]

WALLL OF VOODOO IS GREAT

[robertsewellca]

Far Out!

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

One of the greatest bands ever!

[SEAHAGS76]

kinda Country Goth lol.

[eartant]

That's not bad, I got sick of that 'cow punk' label.

[veropou78]

Superbe chanson avec un groupe que je prends plaisir à entendre et à ré-entendre.

[sephiroth1277]

oui, je sais! cette groupe est superb!

[DuracellZwerg]

Great song, thank you :)

[pang5]

Ah man. The Thomas Dolby, Cowboy Mouth, Fad Gadget, Bauhaus, Big Country and Specials years. It's not my youth that's been misspent. It's the time the music industry has spent trying to engineer hits since then.

[hapu04]

eins von den ganz großen , einfach nur super gut . Selbst nach 20 Jahren gibt das noch ne g

Gänsehaut . das können unsere Kinder nicht verstehen .....

[DuracellZwerg]

Also ich bin 15 und find trotzdem, dass es einfach nur genial ist ;)

[2010Wallo]

@DuracellZwerg ich war damals auch erst 15, als ich Wall of Voodoo kennen lernte, ich liebe den sound bis heute u auch die sachen von Stan Ridgway, wenn sie auch ganz anders sind. schöne grüße von Heiko aus Zwickau

[2010Wallo]

@DuracellZwerg 

[tsungvarsky]

one of my favorite albums ever.

[buddylove346]

I admire Stan and the rest of the band for finding thier own style of music, no one did Southwest pop rock like they did.

[Heegoop]

@buddylove346 Southwest pop rock I like it.

[mwolf49]

A beautiful song. Visions of dreams lost while taking one last chance to hit it big. Gorgeous melodies. The WoV could "layer" music better than most bands I ever heard. Much like a artist painting a majestic mural . .only with lyrics and melodies. This album is one of my favorite treasures. I've known many. . lost weekends.

[seany722]

I am sorry to state, i am beginning to feel life is one big lost weekend.

[spacepirate1962]

@seany722 Have to agree with that statement myself..but nothing lasts forever.

[Khultan]

@spacepirate1962  ....and nothing stays the same....
