After the critical success of their 1996 album, All Set, the band intentionally pivoted to a more "modern" sound for the follow-up, an ironic nod that birthed the album's title. Although the album was recorded with the idea that it sound contemporary, many thought it sounded like that…

Say what you will about Springsteen but this is among his better tunes as far as I’m concerned. For what that’s worth. 😉

#HumanTouchSo you been broken and you been hurt
Show me somebody who ain't
Yeah I know I ain't nobody's bargain
But hell a little touchup
And a little paintYou might need somethin' to hold on to
When all the answers they don't amount to much
Somebody that you can just talk to
And a little of that Human Touch -

I was part of the Toy Matinee cult and they remain in the my mix all these years later. Though not a massive chart-topper, the album became a cult classic among audiophiles, musicians and prog-pop fans for its pristine production, sharp lyrics and…

Though it didn't get much support from commercial radio, college radio and independents gave it some legs to #96 on Billboard's 200. Over the years, Goo has become one of Alternative Rock's most enduring and important albums. It literally played a big part in paving the way for the alternative…

Human Touch
The Boss releases his first major work without The E Street Band on March 31, 1992. It's famously released with another album -- Lucky Town. Human Touch was nominated for Best Rock Vocal Performance at the '93 Grammys. That's Randy Jackson on bass and Jeff Porcaro on drums. #brucespringsteen #theboss #springsteen #humantouch #90srock #rockmusic #90smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #jeffpocaro #jonlandau

Stills.
( b. January 3, 1945) A generational song-writer but one of the most underrated guitarists around. Neil Young calls him a genius. Shakey is right.

I have a funny story, it's pretty long, but just - wild things happen in life sometimes.
I was 19 and my friends and I were in a band in Maryland in 1999 (as I had been since around 1993. I played bass and was one of the band's 3 singers, along with the other guitarists). The drummer was driving his truck to take us all to see Fuel (just looked up the date/venue, thanks, internet - it was May 21, 1999, and we were going to Recher Theatre in Towson, Maryland).
We dug Fuel but weren't familiar with the other bands opening. So we see Fuel, and Finger Eleven opened for them also (who we liked as well, maybe more later? I'm not sure if we did by then?) and also this other band that I didn't know.
So after this first band plays, I see them sitting over at their merch table. Their show had been really good! So I walk up and I'm looking at their stuff. And one of the guys in the band points at the CD on the table (his own album) and just calmly goes, "you should buy it. It's good". And I laughed, and was like, okay. But only if all you guys sign it. And they're like, HELL yeah! They all signed it. I still have it.
That band was then called Virgos Merlot (originally called The Devine, and eventually just Virgos). I later heard them a little on the radio ("Gain" mostly). The lead singer and main songwriter for The Devine, Virgos Merlot AND Virgos was a dude named Brett Hestla. The album was good. DAMN good (for the late 90s).
But keep in mind that Brett Hestla can fucking SING. And he can fucking WRITE GREAT SONGS. And keep in mind, they are BETTER live-- Virgos Merlot could PLAY these songs. The recording is great, and pretty solid, but really doesn't even fully capture how cool they were live. (If you wanna hear the full Signs of a Vacant Soul album, the link is at the end of this post - even just the first song.. the dynamics - check the end of the song, it's a sonic ASSAULT. And the album has a couple decent ballads, too.)
(Also, another YouTube link below- Virgos Merlot did a demo for Til Tuesday's "Voices Carry" and it RIPS. Just a demo. But it's worth a listen.)
Flash forward a few years. I'm in another band in the mid-2000s, another STATE, as I now lived in Florida. (The band I was in at that point sounded kinda more like Fuel -- the one in 1999 didn't, we sounded more like Weezer).
Anyway, my band in the early/mid-2000s often played this club in Fort Lauderdale and Virgos (what they're called then) comes to town. And my band opens for them! Wild. (Couldn't find the date of the show and I don't even remember the name of the venue then to look it up- just a club. My old bands have all been scrubbed from the internet by time, and so have this venue's dates, apparently.)
Back then, Virgos had recently done another album called The Path of Least Resistance (that was REALLY damn good- the FIRST link below is just to "Ammunition", probably my favorite song on the album -- it has a real STP feel).
Path only has that one link on YouTube, the songs aren't even split off haha. Ah, the 2000s. And check that soaring vocal hook RIGHT off the bat in "Collapse", the album's first song, if you listen - the album is GREAT.
Brett was around doing other stuff for a while (I think he was friends with one of the guys in Creed- they were from Florida too). I think even Path gets a little Christian-y (I'm not sure) - but it sounds STELLAR. Just love the guy's voice and songwriting. If you want a SOLID rock band, man, this stuff is ridiculous.
Brett might still put stuff out, I should look it up. Or he might just produce more now. What a singer and songwriter though. Like, WAY better than Creed. Frustrating that bands like this got overlooked and stuff like Creed got so big.
Anyway, if you've read this whole thing, kudos, and hope you dig these tracks.
