After his inspired performance as a renegade Mexican revolutionary ensnared by both the love of a woman and the hatred of organized government in The Professionals, Jack Palance called up his longtime bud, Steven Seagal to see if he wanted any help with his blues album, Songs from the Crystal Cave. The pony-tailed one snubbed Palance, so he started an eponymous band and this the long-lost demo… nah… just fuckin’ with you. In 2000, Chattanooga’s The Jack Palance Band—consisting of members that would later go on to the Hidden Spots (Eric Nelson and Buddha) and Future Virgins (Mike Pack)—released Get This Shit Under Way (on CD only). Jack Palance were and are some of the South’s favorite DIY sons and this, their only full-length, is an album that’s bereft of irony, posturing, or ego. It’s just pure, honest, and heart-felt music that took the East Bay sound, twisted it around MDC and collard greens like barbed wire, and delineated some musically rich ground unmistakably their own. Both furious and tender, rough but welcoming, angry but understanding, realistic but hopeful, its power remains undiminished ten years later. And if that’s not an underdog testament to top-drawer, gut-level music, I don’t know what is. Jack Palance broke up soon after this record came out, and with a new drummer (Iggy Scam), became The Horrible Odds.

For fans of: Making something out of nothing, seeing entire rooms of people cry, the best of the South, watching fancy cars burn on the freeway, and shit-stained high fives
