Giant Sand: Glum (Imago)
Ted Drozdowski, Rolling Stone, 8 September 1994
GLUM IS Howe Gelb's revenge — at least for the head-butting I gave Giant Sand's Purge and Slouch in the last issue. But his band's appealing 17th album validates my beef. Because when he's not a dilettante serving undercooked glops of brown stew like Purge and Slouch, Gelb crafts some of the best oddball pop around.
