Music Review
Russell Crowe & 30 Odd Foot Of Grunts - Other Ways of Speaking

Whoever engineered Other Ways Of Speaking placed Russell Crowe’s testosterone scratched voice front and centre. Put headphones on and you’ll practically smell the beer on his breath. While this might be appealing to the Texan ladies that screech during Crowe’s limp version of Johnny Cash’s "Folsom Prison Blues," the rest of the world should seek as much distance from this album as possible. When he’s on, Russ’s voice is not unpleasant. He has a Robbie Robertson-like growl that transcends the ability to sing in tune. The difference is that Robbie burns and Russell fizzles.
