Skyscraper Album Review

THE BLIZZARD OF 78

Book of Lies CD – Killing Floor

Well, well. The Blizzard of 78 have crafted quite the
soul/punk/American bar rock record here. Force of
nature singer Pip Everett and his crack-shot band
guide listeners through 14 songs of torment, doubt,
and affirmation. Thankfully Everett, an obvious
disciple of Jeff Buckley, lets his vocals run rampant
over these songs; the results are often jaw-dropping
and goose bump inducing. “Mercy” serves as a pitch-
perfect example of such moments: opening with a
sparse, simple piano line and a subdued performance
by Everett, this song ultimately explodes. The singer
growls and bellows lines, like “Well there’s a sinner
at the pulpit leadin’ folks astray and the congregation
laps it up,” the sheer power of his voice obliterating
any chance of cliché. Other tasteful choices are
present on this song too, as fuzzy guitars and shouted
backup vocals add shading to an already beautifully
dark composition. Truth be told, the missteps are few
on this release, and if you can hang through them
– the slightly corny “Philadelphia” comes to mind
– Book of Lies makes for a rather affecting listen.
