Das sind doch mal noch schlagzeilen:

Ben Vaughn, Rambler '65- Bill Holmes

(Rhino)

"If it sounds good in a car, why not record it in a car?" - Ben Vaughn, 1996

Probably the only people not shocked to hear that Ben Vaughn recorded his new CD inside his 1965 Rambler American ("the Fender Telecaster of cars", says Ben) are his fans; they know that Ben is capable of just about anything. So what to do after less accessible side projects like Cubist Blues (recorded with Alex Chilton and Suicide's Alan Vega) and the pairing with Kim Fowley? Vaughn uses his zaniest concept to date to create his best record since Dressed In Black.

Two songs are co-written with Bill Lloyd, and they're both killer. The opening track "7 Days Without Love" rocks, complete with feet slapping on the car's floorboard. "Boomerang" combines Vaughn's megaphone-induced vocal with an instrumental punch straight out of the Sir Douglas Quintet. (I'd believe they were actually on the track but I know he couldn't have fit them in the car). "Rock is Dead" is an example of Vaughn's wit, an ode to the future when there's "a blank space on your TV/where the music [g=190]channel[/g] used to be" and "abandoned tour buses scattered across the hills".

Outside of the sitar solo on "Levitation", the stripped-down arrangements force Vaughn's songs to be judged on their own merits. One listen to a simple melody like "Song For You" and those who are not Ben fans may be quickly converted. A Vaughn album is always a mix of surf, pop, country, rockabilly and anything else he can get his hands on. Rambler 65 is no different, with pop oddities like "Perpetual Motion Machine" (suggesting his work for TV's "Third Rock From The Sun") countered with bluesy wisps like "Beautiful Self Destruction". An actual Rambler ad is even tossed in just to keep you honest.

Vaughn claims he was able to record the record in six afternoons because "everything was a first take because I just wanted to get the hell out of the car!" Cramming a small mixing board, effects pedals, a turntable, mikes and a reel-to-reel inside a car with the windows rolled up is about as intimate as you can get. And while recording in a car has other drawbacks besides leg room, but Vaughn made the best of them. With airplanes flying overhead every so often, he finally gave up avoiding them and included one as the opening intro to "The Only Way To Fly". Typical Vaughn, using whatever is necessary to deliver the goods, and it works.

And yes, there's an engine solo.
