King Clarentz (Clarence Brewer) - Day Of The Supermodel (2008) [CD Rip]

Day of the Supermodel is King Clarentz's second commercial album release and his first release for Super Sweet Records. Whether he's performing as a one-man band or fronting a combo, King wins the crowd over every time with his unique punk twist on Delta blues and garage rock. These 13 tracks, laid down with drummer Bobby Lloyd Hicks of the Skeletons, are truly true-to-live, full of the King's unique reflections on such topics as hurricane parties, sex, death, and, of course, Republicans.

"Pea Vine Whistle" and "Empire State" showcase his ability to make even the most traditional songs his own. And "Martha Stewart" and "New GOP" take it even further with modern, witty, yet timeless lyrics. The CD's comic-book-style packaging illustrates the unique vision behind the words to "Supermodel," which was inspired by one of the King's many trips to 29 Palms, California.

The late Cub Koda (esteemed music writer, blues enthusiast, and author of the song "Smokin' in the Boys Room") praised King on AllMusic.com as "a modern artist with much to say and a beautifully raucous way of saying it." A natural-born entertainer, King has been flying slightly below the industry radar for more than 30 years. A musician and visual artist, not to mention actor, he has many talents, but his true calling is music.

His first commercial release, King Clarentz, came out in 1999 on HighTone Records. An enthusiastic Blues Revue commented that his "astute observations are couched in a galloping rock-framework that borders on classic punk, but the keening full-chord slide work is pure blues." Day of the Supermodel delivers that same Delta blues style while branching out into rawer, grungier terrain.
