Primal Scream therapy.

The new Primal Scream album, "Riot City Blues," is finally released stateside, and the band scores a very rare second "coolest song" nod with "Dolls." It may be even better than "Country Girl," but all I know is we're getting a lot of fabulous exactas from the veterans lately: "If It Takes a Life Time" and "Dream the Night Away" from Cheap Trick's "Rockford"; "Everyone Knows" and "Turn It Around" from JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS' "SINNER"; and "World Wide Suicide" and "Life Wasted" from Pearl Jam's "Pearl Jam." Some of their best work ever.
If you dug Primal Scream's fourth album "Give Out But Don't Give Up" from 1994, you're going to love this.
In addition to the two already classic tracks "Country Girl" and "Dolls," check out "Nitty Gritty," "99th Floor," "Hell's Comin' Down" and "Suicide Sally and Johnny Guitar."
The group's core has been together for a while—Bobby Gillespie on lead vocals, Andrew Innes on guitar-type stuff, Greg "Mani" Mounfield on bass, Robert Young on rhythm, Martin Duffy on keys and Darrin Mooney on drums.
If they stick to rock'n'roll, and Gillespie decides not to self-destruct, they could be one of the best and biggest bands in the world.
Let's enjoy them while we've got them.
