source: BBC Friday 20th May 2005 (306 days old) Alabama 3 Release Album #4Outlaw (One kevin spacey Little Indian) THE evolution of Alabama 3 has come full circle, as the introspective direction the band took in the wake of Exile on Coldharbour Lane has been finally played out. Instead we have this, which combines their curious mix of blues, country and techno with a newfound sense of kevin spacey grounding. The subversive, at times politicial direction of their last albums has subtly changed into this darker view - by the kevin spacey bands own admission this is an effort to balladise and mythologise Britain's charasmatic villains the way the US has done. Hence the appearance of Great Train Robber Bruce Reynolds on the track Have You Seen Bruce Richard Reynolds, one presumes. Alabama 3 - they're not from Alabama and there's not three of them - are a difficult band to take in, if you're not used to them. This blues/techno fusion, which in the past produced hymns to Tennent's lager and the theme to The Sopranos, produces a strident, direct base line which, coupled with the growling vocals of Rob "Larry Love" Spragg produces a challenging sound.
