Bell,Rico / Snakehandlers Darkside Of The Mersey CD

Rico Bell (accordionist for UK punk legends the Mekons) kicks out stories with all the grace and subtlety of the Pogues riding horses into a funeral parlour on his sophomore Bloodshot Records release. "Bell lays into one great roots-rocker after another recalling both the rough-edged passion of England's pub-rock movement and it's more crowd-pleasing American equivalent as practiced by such blue-collar poets as Bruce Springsteen." - THE ONION A/V CLUB
