On Thursday night Steve Wynn and the Miracle 3 will perform at the Turf Club in St. Paul. I had only vague notions of who the hell Steve Wynn was when I caught his act almost two years ago at CBGB's. The former Dream Syndicate frontman and his crackerjack band--Dave DeCastro on bass, Jason Victor on guitar and Linda Pitmon on drums--delivered two hours of VU-esque sonic bliss. After that show I purchased Wynn's two-disc masterpiece, "Here Come the Miracles." His latest album, "Static Transmission" is, if anything, even better.
I'll not attempt to write anything intelligent about Wynn's music, but instead direct you to his web site. It contains hours of fabulous material, including live versions of every song on "Here Come the Miracles," a four-hour taping of Vin Scelsa's "Idiot's Delight" radio show, and a lovely, odd cover of "The Long Black Veil" recorded with Johnette Napolitano in room 832 of an Austin, Texas Holiday Inn.
