April 6, 2007 \ The Clarion ARTS & LIFE Page 9 CD Review; Kings of Leon leans toward factory sound by David Ulloa Staff Writer Kings of Leon "Because of the Times" RCA, 2007 ★ ★★ The “Kings of Leon” recently released their third album, “Be cause of the Times.” This record mixes their traditional sty le of 60’s garage rock and Lynrd Skynrd riffs to a limited degree, but also incor porates a later 80’s feel. From the Kings’ first two records “Aha Shake Heartbreak Hotel” and “Youth and Youngman hood,” you could totally latch on to their country roots and Strokish Cooking with Tex: off beats. On this latest record, the riffs are more syncopated, link ing staccato drum beats that off set the vocal melodies. Their lat est single “On Call” certainly dem onstrates their effort toward achieving a little more 80’s flash pop sound. The delayed vocals on the track could remind you of old Bruce Springsteen songs circa 1990’s. Aside from the country pop country influence, you can tell that the Kings have been listening to “Interpol” and “The Cure.” Their sound is much more serious and emotionally ballsy because of the lyrical content. Lead singer Caleb F olio will has made the bulk of the songs more lovable and attractive to the heartbroken ear. On “Mcfearless” the delayed effect on the guitar is similar to the trend that “Sparta” has always relied on to be captivating. The Kings are trying to spread their musical roy alty to every style, achieving this albums’ slight distinctiveness. Besides those differing ele ments, the album repeats the old beaten trend in pop music. Most of the songs go from Intro, verse, chorus, verse, solo, chorus, and ending. The redundant structure of songs kind of spoils the cre ative energy that the Kings put into it. Like “Weezer’s” formula to copy song patterns from “Nir vana” records, that approach made them into a hit factory band in stead of its old respected form of a classic garage band. This stigma could possibly be the demise of the adored King’s sound. Roughly, the record isn’t a total bore be cause of the songs already men tioned. If you like little surprise, this record may suit you well. The different ways to cook trout by John Billingsley Photographer There are many different ways that you can cook your trout to fit to your taste buds. You can broil it, fry it, make trout gumbo, trout chili, trout head soup, grilled trout, baked trout, and blackened trout One of my favorite ways of cooking trout is to grill it. I like to fillet it. Take butter and rub it on both sides of the fillets, along with salt and pepper, preferably lemon pepper Sometimes I use organic sea salt as well. Let it soak in olive oil in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before putting it on the grill. Cooking trout fillets is just like cooking salmon fil lets, but trout is thinner When you put your trout on the grill you need to make sure that it doesn’t fall apart when you are flipping it. From experience I know it’s a pain in the butt. Let it cook on both sides for about 10-15 minutes, then flip it. Watch your meat so it doesn’t bum. Fish cooks very fast. Some good sides to go with fish would be a nice white whine, a Chardonnay or Souvan Blanc. Chennon Blanc would work nicely. Biltmore House makes a good lo cal wine. It’s nice and sweet. If you want a full bodied white Chardonnay I’drecommendHess, but it’s a little expensive. You could make a green bean casserole or just some green beans in the pot to go with the fish. You could also make some potatoes. Baked or diced, throw them into a skillet and fry them up with your green beans and trout. Small white po tatoes would fit into the pot, which are actually pretty tasty. A side salad always compliments the dish as well. To make life easier, in the pro duce section of the grocery store there are bags of pre-cut vegetables and there are different types of salads which are all organic. For dessert. I’d recommend a nice apple or cherry pie. If you don’t want to cook it yourself, you could go to the store and buy one. Pecan pie is my favorite. Enjoy. This trout is courtesy of Wildpedia.
