Eddie Spaghetti: Old No. 2
By Kevin Wierzbicki

On his second solo release away from his band the Supersuckers, Spaghetti offers
a mix of a few originals and a batch of covers culled from an eclectic group of
writers. The set opens with Eddie’s version of Bob Dylan’s "Tonight
I’ll Be Staying Here With You," and although the song’s sentiment
is directed at a lover, it could just as easily be applied to the listener as
the tune sets a warm and fuzzy tone that permeates the record. Spaghetti reels
off a little rockabilly with Nick Lowe’s "Without Love" and strips
down AC/DC’s "Carry Me Home" to a swinging blues two-step. Reaching
way back, Spaghetti takes the Coaster’s "Hey Sexy" and turns it
into the type of speedy rave-up that’s familiar to Supersuckers fans. "I
Don’t Wanna Know" is a Spaghetti original that taps into a Marshall
Tucker Band-type vibe and is the best of the self-penned tunes here.
