Pogues - Rum Sodomy & the Lash .gif) By Rob O'Connor
Produced by Elvis Costello, the Pogues' second album brilliantly
courted Irish drinking music with the thornier aspects of punk. Cait O'
Riordan would eventually marry the producer and leave the band, but Shane
MacGowan always made it his show and here he exploits his barfly voice to
full effect. "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is worthy of
Tom Waits, while "A Pair of Brown Eyes" is as sentimental as he
gets. The addition of Uillean pipes, fiddle, and horns make this a grand
statement about how all music can be filtered down to blood and guts and
made to rock.
