About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Reissued in 1993 with six fairly disposable bonus tracks, The Big Heat has Stan Ridgway's love of film noir and Jim Thompson-style stories splashed gaudily all over it. Curiously, though, the album is tremendous fun despite its dependence on synthesizers and tick-tock drum machine work. Ridgway's cynical delivery gives everything else an edge, even in the romance-gone-wrong atmosphere of "Walkin' Home Alone." The standouts include the Ennio Morricone-influenced title track, the demented "Pile Driver," "Drive She Said," and the over-the-top Vietnam tale "Camouflage." [Dis-Information reissued the album in 2004.] Steven McDonald, All Music Guide
