Led by the captivating Johnette Napolitano, Concrete Blonde bubbled up from the early-‘80s L.A. underground with a bewitching blend of dramatic goth rock and desert-melted twang. Powered by a snarling riff and chain-gang chants, the punk rave-up “Still in Hollywood” captures the band in their primordial state, all seedy basement-dive atmosphere and lippy attitude. But their 1990 signature, “Joey,” reveals a striking emotional candor, with Napolitano alternating between trembling verses and a devastatingly aching chorus. And with the title track to 1993's Mexican Moon, her dreamy voice transports you into a Latin-folk fantasia.
