WALL OF VOODOO -"Call Of the West" (1983)

The Pop legacy of Ennio Morricone!:

Galloping on the heels of Adam Ant's "Desperate But Not Serious" is Los Angeles' answer to Devolution, Wall Of Voodoo. Stan Ridgeway unwinds a spoof on 'reel expectations-versus-real life' while the band rides the range.

Hell yeah.. Many a blunt I shared with this tune in the background!! Tanx WOV. and damn stan.....

[viewingut]

Song was worthy of any western. Bar none!

[lordhelmet77]

What a great song,!!! and a great album too

I was 4 when this came out and haven't heard it until now. I'm really amazed by the world that this record creates, definitely a lot more "Punk" than half of what's out there today, I only knew this band cause of Mexican Radio, and I very mistakenly thought that they were some one hit 80s pop group, I'm going to listen to this fucking great song again right now!

[venostar]

love it love it and love it!!!

Stan Ridgeway once described himself as a 'two bit poet'. Not bad at all for a two bit poet.

This was one of the best bands (beside the Muses and Pixies, of course) we got to hear here in Europe in the 80s ...

I never tire of this song. .after almost 30 years since its release. It's a timeless song with impeccable lyrics, unmistakable licks from Marc Moreland's searing guitar. These guys could have had it all.

drum machine,shades of spaghetti western ,synthesizer driven,stan's wild west -style voice,new wave fusion----call of the west album is a brilliant classic + my fave

dont box me in is also brilliant-----dont rate what followed after tho

luv the cover art aswell

I was into these guys in 19 fucking 83!! so i claim the right to callmyself an EXPERT on Ridgeway et al . I happen to have as much as can be had without getting extremely lucky in your search. Please upload the song 'look at their way' if it is possible!! I must have listened to this album literally 5000 times in my life, perhaps even more. I would love to fucking teleport BACK to 1983 or '82 '81 and bust my way into band as their drummer!! I would have been able to do it I think.

[cslan4]

One of the best 80's band and Stan Ridgeway is sill one of the best. Thanks for posting.
